This is where you can learn about how to use the fiber from alpacas to make it into a useful product.  Most people don't know about the various steps it takes to make a finished item from the fleece that gets sheared from the animals.  This is your chance for some hands on experience.  

Charli from Windy Acres will be demonstrating how to skirt a fleece to prepare it for processing.  She will have some washed fleece for sale ($10) for you to try the next step. 

Lisa Davenport and Don Wilson will be bringing their electric drum carder and for $5 will help you make your washed fleece into a carded batt.  You can bring you own fleece, or use some fleece purchased from the vendors.   There will be glitzy add in's available.  

Once you have a carded batt of fiber, you have two choices.  First Lisa Davenport can work with you to create a felted object using the needlefelting technique.  ($10)  

Kathy Moskal will be available to teach you how to spin yarn!  For only $10 you will get a drop spindle (made from a CD) and some fiber and she will sit with you and teach you how to to make yarn with this simple device.
