Well, it had been so doggone long since I contributed to my blog that the whole world has changed! Old blogger is out: new blogger is in! So we are sort of starting from scratch. That'll teach me. We raise alpacas on two farms -- one in Virginia and the other in Oklahoma. We have our own line of alpaca yarns, Natural Echoes (tm), and we spin our fiber from special animals into custom yarns. It's a blast! Though alpaca yarn is an excellent choice if you want to dye it, we use only the natural colors of our alpacas. Currently it is available in natural off-white, natural light fawn, natural dark fawn, natural brown, natural grey blend, natural rose grey, and even natural black. You will never have to worry about these yarns fading or the dye coming out or looking uneven over time. The yarn will remain as beautiful as when it was on the alpaca!
We have published a book which is getting a lot of attention . . . . it's called CAVERN OF BABEL, and it features the adorable (though somewhat self-centered) huacaya heroine, Buttersby and her sassy suri sidekick, Meander. It was written by Albert Packard and illustrated by Shawn Boyles. Check it out on Buttersby's website, www.buttersby.com, and you can place orders for the book, join Buttersby's Fan Club, get T-shirts, etc. We think it is a great story for "middle readers" (ages 8-12).
