Good day fellow Fiber Arts Friday Followers.
I’ve been MIA for a bit because last weekend was our shearing and farm day. What a blast! I saved 3 alpacas to shear to show folks how it’s done and spent the rest of the time giving pony rides to all the kids. What a blast! So much fun and so much work to have everything go so smoothly. Can’t wait to do it again next year.
Look what I got in the mail! 14lbs of yarn! This is yarn from the 2nd cut off our alpacas last year blended with 15% nylon and 5% wool for a strong sock yarn perfect for well socks, sweaters, vets or weavers. Available in bulk on the cone or by the skein. See our new shop for details.
Lastly we had a birth on the farm! A total surprise from an alpaca I picked up just 3 weeks ago. The guy who sold her to me nor I had any clue she was pregnant. I actually thought she was skinny and kept feeding her more! She happily ended up giving birth to a bouncing 17lb baby boy! Shh… don’t tell my hubby I let him loose in the house after I weighed him LOL
