More Alpacas

Sunday afternoon, I made Wonderful Guy take me to the Alpaca Breeders Exhibition. I really really wanted to get some paco-vicuna to try to spin. It is luscious stuff, and priced accordingly. I just want enough to taste.

I found some from the Switzer-Land people from Estes Park, just 1/2 ounce, and that is enough.

However.

In the looking around for PV people, I tripped across some roving that was very pretty. But I was prudent. I said I was going to think about it. After all, I still have fleece I am working through. (So prudent she is!)

After making my decision on the paco-vicuna, Wonderful Guy asks me about 'the other'. I replied, 'oh, I don't know...' He then says something to the effect of we're here now and it a good opportunity...'

Oh twist my arm!

8 ounces later....he says "when will I learn?" I say I hope NEVER!

Also, I bought some buttons. No plans for them. Just really liked them!

And a knockout of a wool rug.

All I wanted was a bit of paco-vicuna...

Beware, he might be setting you up so he can buy a new motorcycle!

You seem to have fallen down the rabbit hole of no return! Enjoy spinning the new fiber. So where are the photos??

Always make a shoppiing list and stick to it! And be sure you spin before shopping so you aren't hungry for more while shopping...oh, wait...that's for grocery shopping...

    ...to my humble effort. Thanks for taking the time to stop by, and I hope you find something mildly interesting, slightly amusing, barely creative, or at the very least, not too terribly trite.
