This alpaca was not so sure about riding in the van – until she had the chance to play with these children. Apparently Loretta loves children.
They all wore each other out!

This was my favorite quote floating around Twitter this week. Perhaps because it fits into my life these days. Perhaps because it fits well with the novel that is consuming my thoughts. Either way, alpacas are the most soulful creatures I’ve ever come across.
They make an indelible mark upon your soul.
Alpaca Farmgirl Neopolitan Hand Spun Yarn
This is my favorite yarn! It was inspired by some yummy yarn that the incomparable Spazzyarn spun out of merino that was very similar. I fell in love with her hand spun merino Neopolitan and bought it last year.
I had not picked up knitting needles since I was in 7th grade. But her yarn inspired me to get fiber-y again. That and the fields of alpacas in the backyard…
I have to admit though, when I got the merino in my hands I was shocked at how un-soft it was. Let’s face it – I only knew alpaca. That was all I ever felt. And alpaca is just SO soft. I’m spoiled. So I said, “Spazzy, my love…let’s do this in alpaca…” and a project was born.

Here is what the lovely Spazzy has spun. You can purchase it in the Alpaca Farmgirl Shop.
I have tons of it so let me know if you would like multiple skeins and I can make you a special listing. (katy (at) alpacafarmgirl (dot) com). See more of Spazzy’s Handspun at her Etsy Shop.
