Its a little hard to admire from a picture of the yarn already packaged up, but we just love natural colors of alpaca yarn together!

The last few days of the Etown Fair have been so enjoyable! Yesterday Madi participated in the breeding goat and sheep shows, where her dairy & Angora goats/ Leicester Longwool Sheep did really well and she was awarded champion goat showman! Last night the girls, a few Pasrba Royalty kids, and a few fellow 4-Her's participated in the Angorapalooza (bunny to scarf) event! In just two short hours, they were spinning angora fiber right from the rabbit, plied it, and wove it into a beautiful scarf , answering many questions by the many passing spectator's. They then donated the scarf to the fair and it is being auctioned off tonight at the arts and crafts auction to support the fair! This morning, Madi volunteered by announcing at the Dairy show! Its so great to be involved deeply in such a community oriented event such as this!  Spinning fiber for the scarf!  Zo loves lap time!  spinning angora fiber for the scarf  teaching the kids how to card fiber  Spinning from the rabbits  Matt clowning around during the Angorapalooza  Trimming the fringes  Handing off the scarf to the fair board!
