Alpacas
Posted: Tue Apr 17, 2012 8:53 pm
Em has been wondering if any of our members here raise Alpacas. Em is very much in tune with the old ways and she knits, weaves, crochets, quilts and all kinds of the back to basic stuff as they sometimes call it. She now has a spinning wheel and carder as well as two looms. We are currently buying her wool on the open market shall we say -- aka direct from the alpaca farms. She wants to learn as much as she can about Alpacas and as we are traveling (please read as hopefully doing a Fest circuit) that it would be really cool if there were members who raised em or who knew folks who do. Her goal is in a year or so to maybe get into it in a very small way, just enough to keep us busy and traveling during our "retirement years"
