Alpaca Bird Nesting Ball
Our Alpaca Bird Nesting Ball began more than 20 years ago when we needed to keep our fiber from blowing in our pool. It has been a favorite school group project here for years and the birds love it! Over the years we began adding the cut off bits and pieces of yarn from our weaving and other fiber projects that give some of the balls a pop of color. We’ve started pulling tufts out to help our feathered friends. Place your Alpaca Bird Nesting Ball up on top of the “V” of two branches. Tie the ribbon around the branch and let the ends flutter, catching the attention of the birds. This way the birds can perch on the branch and not the ball. We leave them out all year. No two are the same. They make a great gift for the young and the old and even for the hard to shop for relative. Small balls are approx 5″ across, Medium 7″ and Large 8″. (#171)
This is an actual nest, and as you can see, plenty of fiber was used.

Alpaca Dryer Balls
Alpaca felted dryer balls are a great addition to anyone’s laundry room. The alpaca fiber is natural- no harsh chemicals, plastics or synthetics being added to your dryer and thus your clothes. Alpaca fiber is naturally anti-microbial. Using our Alpaca Dryer Balls SAVES you money by aerating your clothes as they tumble, allowing them to dry faster, thus reducing your drying time and electric/gas bill. Smooth felted ball do not damage your garments
By placing a couple of drops of essential oils on one of your felted alpaca dryer balls, you can introduce the scent of your choice.
We recommend using three (3) balls in the dryer all the time. Just throw them in and leave them there. You may have one come up missing on occasion- probably in a sleeve, corner of a fitted sheet or even in a pocket! Dryer balls can also save you money, as you will probably do away with fabric softeners and dryer sheets. It is not uncommon that they get fuzzy at times- this is due to the static in your dryer. Don’t worry, they will go back flat the next time. The dryer balls will last years- the overall life will vary with each person as it depends on how many load you do, and the type and texture (plus zippers, or abrasive surfaces) effect the life span of the dryer balls. They make a great gift for anyone. Sold as a set of 3.

Grey nose sheep quilt
We love all kinds of fiber animals here, so Linda made this for our sheep and wool friends, a pastel tone color grey nose sheep quilt with light purple backing. The quilt contains alpaca/cotton quilt batting and measures 43″ x 59″ and is made of cotton flannel.
Ideal to snuggle in and it gets you started if you have to count sheep! We also have a matching 14 x 14″ pillow with this grey nose sheep fabric, so look in the quilt section and adopt both.
Washing a finished quilt that uses Pacafil (50% Alpaca 50% cotton) batting:
Fill the washer with cool water to the level required by the size of the quilt, add gentle detergent, and dissolve by agitating the machine.
TURN OFF THE AGITATOR and then add the quilt.
Place the quilt into the washer and use your hands to gently move the quilt around. Let the quilt soak like this for 10-15 minutes. Repeat the hand agitation several more times.
Turn the washer dial to spin to drain out the water. Leave the quilt in the washer and add cool rinse water. Repeat with hand rinsing as many times as it takes to have clear water.
Just remember to never let the quilt agitate in the machine.
After the final spin, take the quilt out, lay in a sheet sandwich on the lawn or on a bed to dry.
(We do not recommend using the “hand wash cycle” on washing machines either front or top loaders for your finished quilt.
This accepted method of washing any quilt is recommended for quilts using Pacafil and will assure a beautiful warm quilt for many, many years.

These beautiful ombre alpaca ruanas are idea for those who are on the go, or just want something light to keep the chill away. They are all one size, but drape beautifully on most body types.

This 12″ alpaca hide teddy bear is what we would call a ‘top shelf’ bear- so darn cute he needs to say on the top shelf when not snuggled in your arms (so the dog doesn’t get him)! He has so many colors it is hard to list them. He was made in Peru from naturally harvested hides (animals that passed due to predator, disease, etc.) and hand shaped. We have some friend who have another name for him- the PMS bear – “Please, more stroking!” LOL. We currently only have two of these and no two are the same. Does not come with stand.
