Fiber is what alpacas are all about and GlimmerGlass Alpacas will be presenting a hands-on fiber workshop in the summer of 2010. We'll discuss the special properties of alpaca fiber and delve into preparation prior to sending to the mill to get the best possible product whether it's yarn or mittens or sweaters! We'll also spend some time learning how to card and comb your own fiber, use a drop spindle and try some felting! Make plans to join us for a fun fiber day! Registration will be limited so check back often!
