Earthy Cape Cod and Seaspray Green Gift Baskets
A Unique Idea for Special Gift Baskets that any llama llover will enjoy! Do you have a special friend or loved one that you have been wanting to give something special, a one of a kind gift to? These baskets will help out with your gift giving needs! The above photos show a sampling the baskets will include: a llama (or alpaca) cria sweater, cria neck sweater, two lead ropes (all color coordinated if you'd like!) a pair of britches, a unique llama sign PLUS each and every basket will include more extra special surprises! Current color choices are: Pretty In Pink, Blissful Blue, Crimson Red, Seaspray Green, Pristine Purple, Earthy Cape Cod, and Deep Sea Blue. You can mix or match your color choices! I can even add some raw llama fleece if you wish. Every item in these baskets, including the type of basket itself, will be useable! Everything you see on this page, and more, except the made to order items shown at the bottom, can be added into a special gift basket. These Unique Gift Baskets can be adjusted to fit alpaca and doggie needs too and each Gift Basket will contain 9 to 10 items. Extra Special Surprise Gifts can include, but are not limited to: a Unique Photo Frame or Photo Booklet ~ to share those brand new cria brag photos! A Scented Candle, an Inspirational Plaque, and no gift basket will be complete without a seasonal bag of tasty human treats! Shown below are more sample options inside a Pretty In Pink, Blissful Blue, and Pristine Purple Gift Basket!
**************************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!

I can criate one for you in most colors, or with your own llama yarn as long as it is 4 ply or more!

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