*****************************LLAMA
FLEECE***************************** |
If you have an interest in fiber
arts, spinning, weaving, felting, knitting, crocheting,
etc., and if it is your passion to work with llama fleece,
you may be interested in our raw fleece. Off the farm
we sell it for $5 per bag, that is for fairly clean, unprocessed
fleece. If you are ordering online, you will need to add
appropriate shipping costs. 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. 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 some
will have their first shearing in 2009. We have some exceptional
fleece producers, and many of our offspring have gone
on to win many major walking fleece competitions as well
as Best of Show! Many judges have favorably commented
on our llama's fleece throughout our years in the show
ring. Some of our fleece is dense, with a lot of loft
and crimp. Contact
me for available fleece: single or double coat, as
well as fully locked fleece - with or without crimp, and
more about fleece type. Our llama fleeces will be blown
before shearing, some will be brushed out as well, and
we will do our best to provide for you fleece’s
that are clean and void of second cuts if that is your
preference. The more time spent on the fleece's, more
cost may be involved.
|
When
selecting the fleece you desire mention the llamas name
from the following pages:
Herdsires (available
fleece once shorn: Bravado, Status Symbol, and FormTheLineBehind).
On the Breeding Females,
Maiden Females and Current
Offspring pages, most that are listed will become available
for purchase once shorn. We still have some 2008 fleece
available, but at this time we cannot specify individual
llama other than Bravado's fleece.
Make sure you email
for availability before selecting!

*****************HAND
BRAIDED LEAD ROPES 100% LLAMA FLEECE***************** |
|
These
leads are soft to the hand and have a nice small lightweight
snap. Each lead rope has a special meaning, and with each
one 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 make nice leads for llamas, alpacas, miniature
horses, miniature donkeys, goats, sheep, dogs and other animals.
They have also been used as reins attached to the bridle for
horseback riding, due to their softness and handle.

*******************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

**************************Unique
Llama Signs************************** |
|
These
are specially hand made llama signs. These 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 to criate one for you with your
very own slogan! |
******************************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****************************** |
| |
I
have made several cria sweaters and am happy to report I
currently have just one left in stock! These sweaters can
be made with any type of yarn as long as it is 4 ply or
larger. I really love the soft light and lofty yarns for
their warmth and comfort. The sizes can range from newborns
and I will make them to fit the size of a 2 month old. These
sweaters have a fully closed chest and can also come with
various inches of neck warmer. If you would like to order
one, send me your
favorite color and size you would like! |
| **************************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. |
***********************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
like made out of your own favorite llama yarn, I will
do what I can to fill your need. All items on this page
are one of a kind. No two are alike. The hand braided
lead ropes are first crocheted and then hand braided.
Pictured above, and to the right, are more crocheted items
I have made. Above photos, left to right, a crocheted
baby blanket made with lofty, bulky yarn which is warm,
colorful and soft. A beautiful Indian afghan is in the
middle which measures 77" long by 49" wide,
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
is of a granny square afghan. The one shown is large and
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
me with any questions.
