Alpaca shearing is wrapped up! Now onto other projects like getting The Vermont Wedding Barn ready for the season.
Les is shown here hand shearing to remove the outer coat of this young alpaca. Alpacas' baby coats tend to act like velcro and have everything cling to them. Les is removing the outer very dirty layer and exposing the clean fleece underneath. After the handclipping, the alpaca will be shorn again with regular clippers to get the remaining usable fleece off.
If you'd like to take some alpaca fleece home to craft with or if you'd like some cozy, soft products already made with alpaca, text us at 802-349-8135.
