Bunny (left) and Alpaca (right)

This has been a really fun, busy week with the Alpaca Bunny Smackdown going on. We’ve had lots of giveaways. (there’s still time to enter). Everyone has been waiting, with baited breath, to find out who the winner is. The Bunny Or The Alpaca. Our esteemed judge reminds us that this contest was actually on softness alone. It was not so much for the “best” fiber, but the softest.

(Drumroll Please)…..

And the winner is……

“The Bunny – by a Hare.” You really have to read the judge’s thoughtful remarks here. Our judge is a wonderful guy and the pressure of the Smackdown may have been more than he bargained for. But now he can retire to his new Etsy shop where we will all bombard him and buy out his shop. Right, readers? Let’s give Vtknitboy some love! (Applause & Cheers!!!)

Alpaca fans – do not dismay. Read Chris’ remarks. The scientific nature of angora is that it comes in 10-13 microns. It is rare for alpacas to have that fineness. Next week I will post a recap of the alpaca-bunny smackdown. For now, I must label 100 school supplies and meet a dozen teachers. Basically, both Alpaca and Angora ROCK! And they work perfectly TOGETHER! So it’s really all about alpaca/bunny luv. But that’s another series altogether. Onto Fiber Arts Friday!
