Meet the alpacas and get to know each one's unique personality! Learn all about the fleece that they provide us and get some hands-on experience with some different fiber arts. Ann, the owner, will lead a tour of her farm and share stories about these interesting animals. Go into the studio to learn about different kinds of animal fibers for spinning and weaving. Check out different types of spinning wheels and do some wet felting around a bar of soap to make your own personalized scrubby for the tub!
