Visited the 101 Alpacas Ranch in Ca

Had a nice visit with Dennis & Vicki Rabe of 101 Alpacas Ranch on my last vacation to Ca, it was great fun! She had a good selection of fiber from Alpaca blankets right off the Alpaca, to roving braids and yarn. I restrained myself and only purchased two fiber fleece, one from Ashley, her white fleece is soft with a nice crimp, very yummy soft! :} The second fiber fleece is from Ginger who is a medium fawn color and is also super soft. Cant hardly wait to get time to enjoy working with these new fleece! If you would like to see their website it is at www.101alpacas.com
