Cost: $35.00 (includes $10 worth of brown

Bring your wheel and take a class with Deborah Smith
on spinning their brown llama roving (which is clean fiber longer than alpaca
and has had the guard hairs removed). No
crimp, so you get a nicely draped fabric.
It is a strong fiber with a hollow core which is very insulating and
seven times warmer than wool. Beside
extra wheels, she has a carding machine for those who wish to try the natural
fiber carding. She teaches a lot of classes there including
knitting and weaving and will include tips on spinning as well. Her store is something to behold and she will
open it for us as well as give us a tour of the llamas.
