Let’s Talk-a Alpaca

 

Let’s talk alpacas! The weather is starting to get a little chilly and it gets you thinking about gifts to help you stay warm. Well, I found quite a variety of gift items made from the fiber of alpacas here in the U.S. and wanted to learn a little more about them. The most important thing I learned from breeders Andy and Theresa McEvoy is that their alpacas provide a fiber that is sheared from them annually, but this does NOT harm the animal. That is such an important thing to know! They insist that any product carried in their store, regardless of its origins (as they also carry items from Peruvian Alpacas), be cruelty-free. When you look at an alpaca there is absolutely something special about them. If you want a great gift to keep you warm and give you a nice warm fuzzy feeling all around just take a look at some of what I found while touring Paca Gardens in Little Falls, NY.

 

 

 

 

Aren’t you just loving those alpacas? I want to bring one home! These animals are so sweet, their fiber is so soft...and this next video is just for fun!
