Lightning and rain storms caused the cancellation of the alpaca shearing day. However, Riverbend Fiber Arts Guild members spent time indoors touring Susan's fiber studio with her many looms, spinning wheels, fibers and handmade items. Lunch and a Knit-In followed. Pictured here is Paula P. winding a newly purchased hank of alpaca yarn.
The rain date for the shearing is set for Saturday, May 16 at 11 a.m. Food and refreshments will be on hand. My Little Darlings Alpaca Farm. Everyone is welcome!
