During tours, we tell you all about the alpacas, why we raise them, what they eat, shearing, fiber works, and so much more. We believe in respecting our alpacas the right to their space, meaning they choose their interaction level. They come up to the fence and give great photo opportunities, some allow petting, and some will participate in treat feeding BUT WE DO NOT GUARANTEE the exchange. We don't want you going home with spit as a souvenir. It is VERY HOT out, so please be prepared because the tours are all outside. Bring your water bottles and be prepared.
If you'd just like to shop in the store, you still need to schedule an appointment. We have lots of producst on display, including lots of yarn, socks, hats, gloves, scarves, rugs, sweaters, and so much more! Products are always changing and we're always learning new tricks. We are also happy to work with customers on custom pieces as long as we have the skill and lead time to accomplish them.
As often as our schedule allows, we try to teach classes in the studio. The classes include crocheting, knitting, weaving, felted soaps, nesting balls, Alpaca 101, and so much more. We also love to host meetings, gatherings, summer camps, and interest groups. It never hurts to ask, so if you have an idea, give Laina a call and see what we can do.
