The first alpaca we sheared, being stubborn and refusing to go near the car.
The second alpaca (Iggy, he's the only one we've named) being stuffed in the car.
Me and Unnamed Alpaca #1 in the car. Stories on the joy of riding in a car with him on Friday.
Iggy happily snuggled in our yard.
Day 2. Unnamed Alpaca #2. The lonely alpaca car ride at Eddie's Corner getting gas...Also a good story about riding in a car with #2.
All three boys happily reunited after harrowing car rides. Stories and names to follow.Happy quilting!

Love them! And can't wait to shear their soft, precious, coats... oh the sweaters I will knit :)
Do they train like llamas? http://www.llamas-information.com/
You are in for such fun with these little guys! Yes, they are very smart and trainable. At shows they sometimes have obstacle courses and performance classes to watch. And alpacas generally love kids.
Alpaca fiber is so warm that you can use the 3rds for very light-weight batting in your quilts.
Enjoy!
