Temperance & Fiber

Twilight Ridge Farm has its first cria! Tempest gave birth on June 22nd at approximately 10:30 AM. Temperance (Tempe for short) weighed in at a healthy 20.4 pounds. We are traveling to Snowshow Farm this weekend to see her. Already she's playing with the other cria on the farm. Here are some pictures from her first day - I'm sure many more will be posted after the weekend!

Also, we delivered our first fiber order to Annabel's Fibre Studio in Oneonta, NY. 8 batts of 100% alpaca fiber and 14 batts of Color Kissed Alpaca Fiber. Most of the batts were combined with dyed merino fiber and a couple had other fiber types mixed in. I washed all the fiber in my kitchen sink, combed it and carded it (twice)! I was very proud of my end product and hope the spinners at Annabel's enjoy them too! Larry designed the labels and I worked out the best way to package the fiber. In the end our joint efforts looked amazing! I will post some photos of the batts we delivered at a later date.
