The Spinning Guy

In this blog, I'm going to talk about alpacas, fiber, spinning, and I'm going to generally try very hard to keep my readers posted about what's on my skirting board, what's on my spinning wheel, and what I'm knitting or crocheting.

Cria Watch Day 47 Update

Maybe NOT!

The rain has settled in for the day and Chloe has chosen to settle by her favorite hay bin. It now appears a cria today is highly unlikely.

About that purple tint in the previous entry's pictures, we didn't doctor the color. I would describe Chloe's color as steel-gray with a hint of lavender. Some of the purple is due to lighting and some is due to my ancient digital camera, but most of it is normal and natural purple from Chloe's fleece.

I had a dappled grey horse that turned purple or blue depending on the lighting. It was especially interesting at outdoor shows, one of the judges requested that I bring her to the center of the ring so they could check and make sure I hadn't painted her with something. I hope she has the baby soon, before she pops!

Good news! Sancha had a little boy yesterday around 1:00 p.m. He is a little clone of his Mother. We have not come up with a name yet. This naming thing is tough. 16.9 lb. I'll have his page up on Alpaca Nation later today.
