Alpaca Fibre 4 Sale/SOLD

Good News!  The Boys are happy to say that all their fibre has been sold!  Buttercup's yarn blended with silk  went to a Silk Weaving Studio on Granville Island and the rest of the yarn went to Baad Anna's Knitting Store in Vancouver.

The Boys are enjoying the fall sunshine.  Taking well deserved naps!

It was milled at Qualicum Bay Fibre Works in
British Columbia. All the yarn is $1.50 @ 10
grams. The yarns are on spools. The rovings are
