And you can dye it as well! We have added a new range of workshops - several methods of felting & dyeing alpaca & llama fibre.

ISTATA - THE ORPHANED MINIATURE DONKEY FOAL
Rejected by mother, or perhaps stolen by another female, little Istata was beaten & bruised by both mothers on the day she was born. By chance Glynda noticed donkey Tip Top away from the herd.
|
On closer investigation, Tip Top had a miniature donkey foal by her side – but Tip Top had never been pregnant – so it wasn’t her foal – and despite Tip Top’s motherly instincts, she was not lactating and so couldn’t feed the foal.

WHY ARE ALPACAS AND LLAMAS "THE WORLD'S FINEST LIVESTOCK INVESTMENT?
Currently in Australia there are about 68,000 Alpacas and 2,000 llamas. This very small initial population, their slow reproductive rate, the difficulties and expense involved in importing these animals, as well as the absence of a feral population that could be used for upgrading, ensures that there will be a steady increase in numbers. This contrasts with the "boom or bust" pattern associated with some other alternative livestock industries.
