yall will definately be the first to know!
we plan on having VERY good prices, bc we are raising the animals and doing everything ourselves....w/ no middle man. so our yarns and roving will be very decently priced!

Cool Beans. Or would that be Cool Wool? Do keep us posted. I love hand spun things and being organic is a bonus!

That's so WONDERFUL! I bought my first alpaca (local) yarn this past summer and I'm in love with it, never had such soft yarn before.

Where are you by the way?

:D

How cool Stitch! That is my dream! To live out in the country so my three year old can have a dog, and I can have alpacas. But I can live vicariously through you till the day comes! Do yall have a name yet?

Wow! You are going to be one busy little bee!
It's so rewarding to see something go from start to success so I wish you all the best in your endevour!

P.S. Are you thinking of offering low exchange rates and shipping for "special" customers?
