North Star Alpacas Huacaya alpaca giveaway!


Check out this beautiful alpaca giveaway from Northstar Alpacas!! This is so very soft and fluffy! It is a beautiful roving with fiber from both Snickers and J.R. who, by the looks of them, are very cuddly :D This spun, will be a beautiful swirled yarn!

I have to tell you, last year I bought a few pairs of Maple's alpaca socks for gifts and they went over very well- especially with the hard to buy for men in my life. Everyone can relate to a warm pair of socks!

We're giving away this beautiful swirl alpaca roving. Please visit Northstar Alpacas today, find something you love, and write about it in the comments section below. Be sure and gain extra entries by facebooking/twittering/plurking etc this!

    Any of the raw fleece looks appealing - especially since it is so easy to spin up 1st & then wash! The suri locks are gorgeous.
