Alpaca Farm

I have just returned from a W.I outing to an Alpaca farm. It was very good. Alpacas are a cross between a Llama and a camel and are so beautiful. We were then given demonstrations about what can be done with their wool which is soft and fine like cashmere. The woman made felt, both wet and dry,Spinning wool and Peg weaving. I learned a lot. The coffee and home made cake was delicious too!

We thought of breeding Alpaca's not too long ago.

Oh you should have done it. The stud males are worth a fortune and it's becoming big business in England.
