My first big project using yarn from my fiber.

The yarn in this sweater was processed at Klamath River Alpacas mini mill using fiber from my alpacas....don't ask or I'll tell you all of their names. I took a class called "Design your own Tee-shirt" at "Sew What"" in Redding taught by Alisone Malone.

I chose the colors that I could wear into the show ring should I actually succeed at completing a sweater!! I am just thrilled to have gotten such a big project completed.

My next project is another sweater I'll be learning in a class "knitting from the top down" Also taught by Alisone

What a trio!! These babies born within just a short time of each other never stop running. Truly a wonderful group of babies.

Starting out the year right....First cria of the year delivered by MFI Lalique. A healthy light silver grey cria sired by Aussie Rockford.

DOB: 03/09/08

We had a fun time introducing
Peruvian Grand Moreno to our herd to see if we could get some of that fiber on some darker animals.
We had some interesting results. Two cria delivered - both with Grand Moreno's outstanding fleece - both unusual color.

A "Chip" off the old block.

This little beauty is out of our own LV Trinity.
Born 06/19/07 sired by MSA Pinot Noir.
This was a long wait but well worth it. A real looker and we expect her to grow to be one of the nicest alpacas in our herd.

A lovely silver female;
Silver Satin is one of the latest additions
to our herd.
Another fine cria sired by

We will look forward to watching her grow up and will be happy to add her future offspring to our herd.
