Hi

Our Gardener tells me they are alpaca and they are used as guard animals as they can be quite aggressive and will protect animals in a field against foxes and even humans.

I know I learn something every day and the lesson of today is just because it is cute it does not mean you can give it a cuddle.

Kindest regards

Terry

LOLOLOL well pointed out Terry

[tettridge]

Hi again

Also, I learnt that their fur is very expensive to buy, so not only do you get a guard animal but you can make money out of it also.

I don't think our Shih-Tzu groomer would take one of those on though.

Kindest regards

Terry

Oh How cute, I have a friend who has alpacas and I can get fleece from her very easily. One of the things I am planning as a winter hobby is to start felt making and Naomi my friend, is going to give me a load of fleece to play with. You can do felting with bubble wrap, water and detergent, or you can do needle felting when you build colours and shapes up on a sort of brush thingy which you lay the fibres on and then attack it with an implement, a rather lethally sharp set of about six needles in a protective case, which you just push up and down on the fibres and they all knit together to create some lovely things. I will try and post a piccie of something I've done, it's not very much but it did keep me occupied during the cold days of March, April and May, before the summer actually kicked in.

Mmmmmmn! I do like being creative this sounds like fun I did have a go at college once to make felt and produced some funky samplers

[Fibrofoggiest in reply to Hidden]

Oooooooowww we could hold a virtual felting morning and show each other our products, even more excitement , we could involve all those who want to have a go.........hmmmm another cunning plan for me to get my singular brain cell around

[Hidden in reply to Fibrofoggiest]

There's a neverending list I'm sure of virtual things we could do

hee hee if people get into the vibe its usually a good giggle

[Fibrofoggiest]
