I just learned that Maple of North Star Alpacas is feeling a little under the weather. I thought I we could show her some bloggy love today! We're giving away this beautiful pair of mixed fiber batts created by Maple at her lovely Michigan farm.
NorthStarAlpacas has just about everything Alpaca you can imagine. Well, maybe not a 3 piece suit but, for us regular folk who enjoy wearing and working with the fiber, you should stop here first! Homegown! Michigan grown! We all love supporting small farms :)
Please visit North Star Alpacas today, find something you love, and write about it in the comments section below. Pinning, facebook, twitter, plurk updates will get you extra entries!

I love the variation in the blues in the emerald green/sky blue alpaca/merino yarn. Lovely! Of course, I admire a lot of Maple's yarns!

Not gonna lie, I love ALL of Maple's stuff. I've had my fair share of a variety of it, and I'm sure I'll continue to acquire it! Probably my favorite today is the brown and white swirled roving :)
Ooh, I love the "Alpaca Roving - Suri and Huacaya - Green and Brown." It looks like mint chocolate chip ice cream!

The halloween orange baby alpacca yarn is spooky delicious.
Please pass the Periwinkle Blue Alpaca/Silk! Ooooooo....
oh Maple, hope you feel better really soon.... I love the alpaca, merino blend that is yellow and orange - so spring like - would love to use it in one of my weaving projects. (oh, heck, everything Maple lists is just gorgeous!)
The purple in the Batts for Spinning and Felting - 4.2 ounces is awesome! The perfect purple! Love it :)
The charcoal gray Suri and Huacay blend roving looks so luscious. Love the natural color.
I love the purple batts for spinning and felting 4.2 ounces.
I love the pair of Batts for Spinning an Felting. The little bit of color and glitz peeking out of all that beautiful natural fiber just calls to me.
Nice variety of things in this shop. I really like the purple and red dyed alpaca spinning fiber, 4.6ozs.
Shared this on Facebook too.
The salmon and skyblue alpaca roving is gorgeous. Such pretty colors on such wonderful fiber!
This purple sparkly batt has my name written all over it http://www.etsy.com/listing/91740554/batts-for-spinning-and-felting-42-ounces
I love the natural color sampler set. I also love that Maple is so transparent about her sourcing for her fiber, and shares photos of her beautiful, well cared-for alpacas! (Her fiber always smells so good, too...she has magical sachets, I swear!)

It didn't have a unique name...
It looks so random. Makes me think of springtime :)
Gorgeous! Yarn- Baby Alpaca - Periwinkle Blue - 220 yards I've had my eye on this for a while, but I already have so much blue I bought some lovely green yarn from North Star Alpacas the last time I made a purchase :)

This whole shop is so lovely! My favorite is the gentle sunset colors of the alpaca roving in Salmon and Sky Blue.
My fav, I think, is the mixed fiber batts in greens. I am seriously considering buying it...but then I need to learn to spin...
I like the Halloween Orange baby alpaca colorway and the descriptions of the various products.

Sigh, Maple's shop makes me ache with longing. The natural alpaca roving is gorgeous, but today I think I would buy the Blue Overdyed Alpaca/Merino. Beautiful.
I love the Alpaca Merino Yarn - Farm Grown and Mill Spun in Emerald Green and Sky Blue.
Pinned it too.
I like the handdyed Alpaca and MErino yarn in the colourway Emerald Green, Teal, and Purple.
I love the Alpaca Merino Roving - Hand Dyed - Rose Red.
I like the Hand dyed Roving for Spinning or Felting - Alpaca and Merino - 4.8 ounces in emerald green and purple dyes. It looks so nice for spring!

I love the rose grey roving, such a pretty colour.
Red Overdyed Alpaca - Merino is probably my favorite! :)
I think the black alpaca roving that is listed in the shop would be great. Black goes with everything, right? So I could easily combine it with any of the North Star Apacas fiber that I already have :-)
The "batts for spinning", the purple ones? Gorgeous. They remind me of crocuses.
Pinned and tweeted.
Hope she feels better soon. I also love in her shop Batts for Spinning and Felting - 4.2 ounces
I love the rose red merino alpaca roving and the slubby white hand spun art yarn. Gorgeous!
I love the Brown Suri Alpaca Fleece. I've just gotten into hand-carding, so it would be fun to card some alpaca.
Would love to try the fawn suri alpaca fleece, looks yummy!
So much alpaca! I love the straight alpaca roving dyed in purples and reds.

I love the Alpaca Roving - FireRed EmeraldGreen BurntOrange. So pretty.
Love the bats for spinning and felting, they didn't have a color way listed, but I would call it "lavender sunset" really pretty.
I really like the mix of colors in her brown and white swirled alpaca roving. The natural colors stand out so well.
This anonymous batt in shades of purple and grey and SPARKLY STUFF is gorgeous!

I like the Alpaca-Merino yarn for Valentine's Day.
I just purchased a sampler package of natural roving from North Star Alpacas. Can't wait for it to arrive so I can felt it.
My favorite is the Black Alpaca Hand Knit Lacey Hat.

Maple is just about one of my favorite people, it's so hard to pick a favorite from her shop! But gun to my head, I love her swirled alpaca roving and rose grey roving (which I think I may need to buy soon).
I love the red overdyed alpaca. And yay for Michigan-grown!
The Carded Batts for Spinning or Felting - Alpaca Merino Angora Silk Angelina - 2.6 ounces/70 grams - St. Patrick s Day is beautiful! I love the greens and the shimmer!
I just love the Red Overdyed Alpaca - Merino - Mohair Roving, but the natural colored 4 pack is also pretty neat, would be great for needle felting toy bunnies...!
