What's new here?
The most exciting thing - website-wise - is our new blog. Check out what I've been knitting, weaving and dyeing. See what the alpacas have been up to. And get some tips on surviving the extra cold winter of 2008!
If you would like to purchase a fleece, let me know soon. Cria fleeces go fast - we still have one dark brown cria fleece that could be yours. We also have a dark brown yearling, a light fawn fleece, a white and others. Please email me to purchase a fleece or come for a visit to check out the remaining fleeces for sale.
We have three crias due in 2008 - two in May, the last in June. Watch for news and pictures on the blog. They will be great fun to watch all summer long.
We have a very busy 2008 planned. Check out our Events Page to see all the opportunities you have to visit with us.
What's new at Hollyhock Alpaca Shoppe?
I will weave a shawl for you - you select the fiber,
and I will spin that fiber and weave it into a shawl just for you. Or how
about a shortened version of the shawl that makes a great wrap while reading or
watching TV from your bed.
You'll find pictures of more of my work on our
Gifts Page
. I'm also quite willing to do other custom-made items - just let me know what
you
desire. I would love to hear what interests you. Please
email me
your suggestions.
I'm still loving the natural dyeing. I collect flowers in the summer and freeze them so I have them to dye with in the winter. I also have lots of black walnut husks. And some osage orange wood chips! If you want more color, I love to dye with Kool-Aid. Just choose your favorite flavor! Please email me if interested in purchasing yarn or getting samples.
Please check back often. Our farm and our website are growing and changing.
