Alpaca Ontario 2009!

Mark your calenders! Alpaca Ontario 2009 show is April 18-19. http://www.alpacaontario.ca/shows.html I will be there as a vendor, representing Hubbert Farms of Peterborough. Last year we sent more than 20 lbs of suri and huacaya fibre , some shown here http://gypsyspinner.blogspot.com/2008/06/alpaca-shearing.html to the mill. I personally decided what was blended with what. There will be only the highest quality of cria roving, huacaya/suri cria roving, bamboo/alpaca and soy/alpaca yarns, 100% alpaca yarns and custom sock yarn. Yarn weights will be fingering, lopi and 3 ply sportweight. Beautiful colours...alot of browns because that is a specialty of Hubbert Farms. There will also be raw fleece for sale too. Of course I will be entering my handspun and handspun/handknits. The competition will be tough as I know there are alot of talented spinners and knitters in this area, but that only adds to the challenge and fun! Please drop by and say 'hello' if you are in the area!
