The horses are all out today for a bit. They enjoy the snow. Then back to the cozy barn.
Yesterday I was out finishing up some errands and I stopped at the Alpacas Of Easton farm, http://alpacasofeaston.com/index.html which is about 5 miles north of Stirling brook. I picked up some wonderful alpaca yarn and homemade wooden knitting needles as a gift for my mom. Kate Ziehm who runs the farm with her husband Brian is wonderful. She has lots of products and is a wealth of information on alpacas. I also got some pictures of the animals that the fiber used to make my yarn came from. One yarn is a farm blend. A wonderful brown that has fibers from all the alpaca on the farm. The other is off white from Alison . I love
these animals, they are so adorably cute. The fiber is very soft and warm and knits up into wonderful items.
