You will be amazed at the softness of the Alpaca Clothing and Alpaca Yarn.
Spinning Demonstrations will be ongoing throughout the day. Watch and ask questions, as several very experienced spinners spin the alpaca fleece into yarn.
Then see the finished products that are all made from Alpaca Fleece.
Most importantly you will get to meet and actually get your hands on the Alpacas and their luxurious fleece!
Alpacas are one of the most fascinating animals that you could possible imagine.
They come in 22 Natural Colors, and their sweet gentle dispositions, not to mention their curiosity, will capture your heart. Alpacas were first domesticated 5,000 years ago by the Inca Indians of Peru and became the center of the Inca Culture.
The alpaca fiber is lighter, warmer, and softer than wool, and contains no lanolin!
Now, you can come and see these incredible animals for yourself.
Ahh…Sweet Alpacas is a Vacaville Alpaca Ranch owned by Bruce and Joan Nelson, and Joan’s mother Kathryn Hamilton. They invite your family to join them, and their alpacas, for all the activities free of charge.
