We just got our yarn and roving back from the fiber mill. It is gorgeous! It's an incredible feeling to hold the yarn in your hands, knowing it came from one of our animals. Bam Bam's yarn is a smooth khaki color, Hula's is a rich mahogany brown, and Sabetha's is a nice black. I can't believe how dark the yarn is, compared to the animal standing in our barnyard. How cool is that?
We've also joined the Alpaca Fiber Co-op of North America. (We're on page 9, if you look at the member list). The co-op is a great idea - we send our fiber there, and can purchase alpaca products from the co-op to sell to our customers. Today, my husband ordered our first shipment of socks. I know what everyone on our Christmas list is getting this year....
Mark your calendars - we've got the weekend of October 11 / 12 pencilled in for our open house. We'll have our yarn, roving, and socks available, and you can come meet our beautiful animals!
