Last Saturday I was priveliged to get to spin at a local Alapca farm. Tim and Sonia Kach have a beautiful place near Vinton, Iowa and this weekend was their annual open house.
Here are some of the girls. Sonia has their fiber spun into yarn that she sells in their little porch/shop. It's great to see the source of your yarns, which are named for their fiber supplier. I have a couple skeins of Kaitlyn, Sawyer and Eko.
Here I am spinning LeRoy, the guard llama. He takes his job seriously. He is always on guard to protect his herd. And he also donates a very nice fleece, not comparable with alpaca, but nice anyway.
LeRoy does allow, Tanner, their precious yellow lab to hang out. Their farm is named Savannah Breeze. It is named after their Bichon Frise. Alas, no pictures of her. Can you tell that I'm addicted to labs?
Tanner is a sweet boy. I'm not the only who thinks so. This little girl had a wonderful time loving up on alpacas and dogs. The "ladies" of Savannah Breeze had a wonderful day with all the visitors who stopped by.
Chris (in the middle), Mary Jo (right) and I had a great time spinning and knitting and chatting with the visitors also.
