Silver Sun's Cassini!

(Posted by Taly)



Born Feb 13, this guy was around 14.5 lbs. Tiny little guy, beautiful color, crimpy tight curls!

Out of our Lacey, and Galileo from Aragon Alpacas in OR... what a great match!

And look at those eyelashes!


This was a great picture that my husband took, and I can't help but share it with everyone. Enjoy the cuteness!

Valentine Baby is here

Our Valentine cria is here, A beautiful Apallosa girl. Looking for a name.

Any ideas, anyone??

She is playing with her new boyfriend, who is 20 hours older than her. He is out of Galileo from Aragon alpacas in Oregon.

Alpaca video!

I got a new camera, and what better way to break it in than having a herd of alpacas try to eat it?

Enjoy this little clip... and ignore my(Ricky's daughter!) silliness! :D

Lime & Violet

On Saturday My etsy shop will be featured in http://limenviolet.com/blog/ .

This is great news. This blog is all about yarn, fiber and fiber art.

NEW SUPERWASH YARN

This weekend the weather was just beautiful.

73' during the day. The girls (alpacas) were laying down in the sun. Specialy the prego ones.

and I was in the mood for dyes.

So, I have pulled out my stash and started dying some superwash wool. The results were pretty nice :)

Silver Sun's Batts Club

My new addition to Etsy this weekend is the Batts club.

Does spinning or felting is your love?

Are you running out of fiber faster than you can spin it?

You like the feel of Christmas allover again, every time you open one of my packages?

Surprise yourself or a friend once a month by subscribing to *Silver Sun Batt Club*, where each month, you will receive a soft, cloudy, beautiful custom blended Alpaca hand carded batts with possibility to have the following add-ins of: silk, sparkle, sari silk, wools, soysilk and more fun fiber! The fiber blends in the batts will be my choice of fibers each month.

This is a great option for fiber lover to get every month 2 oz. or 4oz. of batts, made mostly of my precious alpacas.

Join in, or let me know if you have other requirments. :)

I dye all the fiber myself using professional acid dyes, and card the batts on my drum carder, the batts are prepared in a smoke-free home.

Nasty Weather

The weather here (Southern Califiornia) has been very wet the last 3 days. The rain does not stop, the alpacas are in the barn, some of them prefer to stay outside in the rain, go figure.
Our natural pond is full to capasity ( have not seen it like that for 2 years :)).
