ALPACA ROVING

SO UR PROBABLY GOING WHATS ALPACA ROVING? WELL ITS FIBER FROM A SHAVED ALPACA THATS WHEN WASHED & CARDED. ITS SO SOFT..LIKE CASHMIRE. I DECIDED RECENTLY THAT I WANTED TO TRY MY HAND AT NEEDLE FELTING, SO I FOUND A SWEET LADY HERE LOCAL THAT HAS A CUTE LIL ALPACA FARM. WE WENT FOR A VISIT WITH THE INTENT TO BUY SOME ALPACA ROVING. THE GIRLS WHERE SO EXCITED THEY KEPT SAYING LETS GO TO THE 'PACKA FARM'. WHEN WE GOT THERE DENISE, THE OWNER TOOK THE TIME TO SHOW ME THE PROCESS OF ALL THE HARD WORK IT TAKES TO MAKE THE SHAVINGS INTO ROVING, AND THEN WE VENTURED OUTSIDE WHERE SHE TAUGHT US AND ANSWERED QUESTIONED ABOUT HER ALPACA HERD. THE GIRLS GOT TO PET THE BABIES AND CHICKENS AND HER 2 SWEET GREAT PYRENEES DOGS (OH AND HER FRENCH BULLGOG WAS THE CUTIEST EVEN IF IT DIDNT CARE FOR KIDS). IT WAS REALLY FUN! AND I GOT A NICE SIZE BAG OF ROVING THAT WE ALL CANT STOP PETTING! I PLAN TO NEEDLE FELT AND TRY SOME EXPERIMENTS WITH DYING, WHICH ILL BLOG ABOUT LATER!
