**************************Unique
Llama Signs************************** |
|
These
are specially hand made llama signs. They are white washed
and then hand written with one of many special and unique
llama slogans. They are then bedazzled and bejeweled to
finish their one of a kind look! They will be finished off
with a metal hanger on the back or top rope hangers ~ complete
with country flair! No two are exactly alike! I can alter
any slogan to say alpaca in place of the word llama. Email
me for slogan choices or criate your very own! |
|
*******************HAND
BRAIDED & CROCHETED LEAD ROPES******************* |
 |
| These
lead ropes are made from some fun colorful yarn that I find.
I love the size and handle of these lead ropes. I have always
been a fan of the smaller, lighter-made leads for our llama
friends and these fit the bill. These leadropes are also
nice for alpacas, horses and dogs. I can offer the leads
shown or I can create leads for you in your favorite colors,
in a color combination to go with a special gift basket,
or with your own llama yarn! When inquiring mention: Lightweight
Leads |
******************************BRITCHES****************************** |
|
Years ago I made Britches out of wash cloths and gave them
as gifts to special friends. It came to me to create them
out of yarn so that these unique, fun gifts can not only be
used as wash cloths, but also as pot holders, and doilies!
Once the bows are untied, and the stitches are pulled out,
you will have two of them, equal in size! Attached to each
pair is a warm note-of-explanation with the britches: untie
the bows and pull out the stitches and you will have two pot
holders instead of the britches. I can create these for you
in your favorite colors, in a color combination to go with
a special gift basket, or with your own llama yarn! |
******************************CRIA
SWEATERS****************************** |
|
This sweater is criated with soft, lofty yarn and measures
close to 20" square and will fit a newborn llama cria
(30 lb. birth weight) up to a month old. These sweaters
all have a closed chest and fasten with a side button. This
sweater has several inches that provide extra neck warmth.
These sweaters can be used by themselves or as a bottom
layer under a standard cria coat. I can make them with or
without the neck warmer for llama or alpaca cria. I can
sell you this one or create this for you in most colors,
or with your own llama yarn as long as it is 4 ply
or more!

| **************************CRIA
NECK SWEATERS************************** |
|
These
photos show two different types of Cria Neck Sweaters that
I can make. These do provide extra warmth and are pertinent
for our cold weather births. With so much neck extension
our cria's need the added protection there too. The far
left gray Neck Sweater is made from standard 4 ply yarn
and the Pretty In Pink Neck Sweater is made with the light
and lofty yarn. I can criate one for you in most colors,
or with your own llama yarn as long as it is 4 ply or more!
When inquiring mention:
Cria Neck Sweater light and lofty
or Cria Neck Sweater standard. |
***********************HAND
BRAIDED FIBER LEAD ROPES*********************** |
|
The
lead ropes shown are made from 100% llama fleece and are hand
made. They are soft to the hand and have a nice small snap
that is light for our llamas and other animals. These are
nice leads with each one having a special meaning. With each
lead rope that I make you will receive a photo and name of
the llama that produced this fleece. The white leads shown
came from LUA Bravado's Grace. The Silver gray leads shown
came from LUA Bravado's Amazing Love. These would make nice
leads for llamas, alpacas, miniature horses, miniature donkeys,
goats, sheep, dogs and other animals.

*****************************LLAMA
FLEECE***************************** |
If you
have an interest in fiber arts, spinning, weaving, felting,
knitting, crocheting, etc., and if it is your passion to
work from raw llama fleece, select one of our llamas and
we will make sure you get the fleece of your desire from
our annual shearing. Shearing on show llamas will begin
mid March. Shearing for all other llamas will begin in April.
Most breeding males and most breeding females will get full
body cuts. Our suri llamas will not get full body cuts.
Show llamas and juveniles will get a midsection cut. If
you want fleece that has never been shorn, you can select
fleece from one of our juveniles on the Current
Offspring page as they
will have their first shearing in 2008. We have some exceptional
fiber producers and I can share with you who is available
with a single or double coat, as well as fully locked fleece,
with or without crimp. Some of our llamas fleece is dense
with a lot of loft and crimp. I am often stopped at llama
shows and asked about our llamas fleece. Many judges have
favorably commented on our llama's fleece. Contact
me and I can share more with you about fleece type,
who is available and who may be close to your liking. Our
llama fleeces will be blown before shearing. Some will be
brushed as well and we will do our best to provide for you
fleece’s that are clean and void of second cuts. |
When
selecting the fleece you desire mention the llamas name from
the following pages:
Herdsires ~ Available
fleece once shorn: Bravado, Status Symbol, Shock Wave, and
Foreman. On the Breeding Females,
Maiden Females and Current
Offspring pages ~ Available fleece once shorn: most that
are listed |
***********************GIFT
ITEMS MADE TO ORDER*********************** |

Any item
on this page can be made for you and most shown are available
for sale. If you see something on this page that you would

lead ropes are first crocheted and then hand braided.

without including the fringe. The one shown is for sale.
The above far right photo is of a lovely tablecloth that
measures 70" across. The photo displayed to the right

covers a queen sized bed. I have it folded and over a
chair in this photo. Most of these I can create for you
in any size and with your own favorite colors! When inquiring
mention: Baby blanket, Indian Afghan, Tablecloth, or Granny
Square Afghan. Email
