Working with Alpaca and Llama Fibre

by GVWSG Website Administrator on June 5, 2008

May 15th, Meeting Program: Gretchen Hoff, who raises alpacas and llamas on her farm in Maple Ridge, covered the process from harvesting to spinning their hair. Susan Forsyth (www.woolcombs.com) demonstrated how to comb the hair to separate out the coarse hair from the more desirable soft fine hairs and showed several lovely garments made from the spun and dyed yarn. There were lots of samples for spinning demonstration and for sale.

Hello,

How much will it cost to attend the May 15th working with alpaca and llama fibre?

Cheers,
Valerie
