Farm Yarn: Fall in love with Alpacas
On my recent visit to a very wet and soggy Kingston green fair, I was very grateful to be offered shelter in the warmth of the Farm Yarn stall. As I huddled under the tarpaulin, fondling various balls of fluffy wool, I learned all about this brilliant company that sources eco-friendly, organic alpaca wool from farms that treat the animals with great care, resulting in a wool that's fantastic for knitting, and is also available spun into scarves and other accessories. Owner Volker Stiens joked that they had 'tried knitting the wool into alpaca shapes, but they came out looking like wooly giraffes!'
