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.

Still Too Hot for Fiber

While today is more comfortable than yesterday – at least so far – it is still far too hot for fiber! Since yesterday’s post was one big complaint, I won’t complain (much) today. I’ll simply go on to other topics.

Alpacas for Sale
At Upper Alpacas, we have some wonderful alpacas for sale. I encourage you to visit our sales list page to view the animals currently available. We’ve got great bloodlines available in black, white, and several colors in between. Our breeding goal is handspinning quality fleece in natural colors, and we have achieved our goal with several very soft alpacas.

Special Offers
Through July 31 2006, we will offer 14% off of any package of two or more females from Upper Alpacas. Bred, unproven, open - take your pick of any two or more.

Or, if you prefer, instead of the percentage off of any package of two or more females, take one of our herdsires (Sindre or Del) as part of your package! This is a great opportunity to get a good herdsire for your females for free and would make a wonderful starter herd or addition to your existing herd. And, if you choose the herdsire option, we will include a free companion male with excellent fiber.

I have just spent an enjoyable morning reading your archives. I found you on a search for alpaca info. I have definitely found the right spot. I recently met a local(to me in Nova Scotia) lady who has a few alpaca at a festival, and I met her and her animals. I purchased some raw fleece, and have since been searching for the proper way to handle it. I am excited, but nervous about treating it properly.I did spin some of it just the way it is as a sample, but I think I need to get something to card it with. It seems to me to be fairly clean, so hopefully I won't have too much trouble. Thanks for your very informative blog.
