Our next meeting is this Sunday, February 9, 2020, 1 - 4pm at the West Seneca Senior Center. To start off our 2020 Alpaca Theme, this month we will have a presentation by Anne Richter, owner of Woodside Farm Alpacas in Lawtons, NY. Anne will give an overview of a variety of topics like choosing an alpaca fleece, cleaning, carding, blending, and the difference Suri and Huacaya alpaca. There will also be time for question and answers.
Anne has a mini-fiber processing area on the farm which includes a carding machine (cottage carder), needle felting machine, roller felter and a full dye kitchen as she offers classes to fiber enthusiasts who want to learn about how to use fiber they grow or acquire (or maybe they just have a ton in their stash!!) She also carries a full line of blending fiber including all of the specialty fibers (pearl, rose, milk, seacell, firestar, Angelina, etc.)
Anne will be bringing fiber and spinning boxes for sale to the meeting as well.
