​We are planning all kinds of exciting things for our Alpaca Tracks T(h)read Lightly''s Annual Fall Fiesta/Culture Days
Calling all knitters and crocheters!
Pull our your needles or hook . . . it is time to knit or crochet an infant hat.
What is this all about? Alpaca Tracks T(h)read Lightly will donate enough yarn to knit/crochet
20 x Period of Purple Crying Caps
When: Saturday, Sept. 30th
Time: starting at 11:00
We will be knitting & crocheting infant hats. Each and every day infants across Canada are shaken and abused because the person caring for them became frustrated with their crying. Many times the abuse could have been prevented had the person caring for the infant only known that early infant crying may be normal. (for more info. visit: http://clickforbabies.org/partners/ontario.php)
CLICK for Babies is a North America initiative to help educate caregivers about normal infant crying, how to cope with crying and the dangers of reacting to crying in frustration by shaking or harming an infant
Even if you have never knitted before come out and I am sure that one or our participants will be happy to teach you.
What to bring:
Please bring water, chair, tent for shade (if you have one), snacks and your knitting needles or crochet hooks. We will have cakes of approx. 100 yards of various weights of purple alpaca yarn available. (enough for 20 hats) If you would like to bring your own yarn, please do so.

​Working on details for our Knitting Machine Course this fall. I don't have pricing in place but this is a start.

Monika would do a refresher/beginner program on the first day.
Suggestion for the second day: see the attached picture
Monika would write a pattern. It would be slightly different but could be adjusted to an adult size. Let me know ASAP if you are interested as we have a limited number of spaces.

Alpaca is Hypoallergenic

Alpaca fiber's porous nature is naturally dry and clean which prevents dust mites and other allergens from settling in.Alpaca is Environmentally FriendlyThe shorn animals are raised in a pesticide free environment and their wool is a renewable resource. No chemicals, dyes or bleaches are used when the wool is processed. The pillows are encased with 100% organic cotton fabric so the whole product is 100% biodegradable at the end of its long life. Alpaca fiber loves fresh air and will re-loft when put outside for a few hours. 

People who sleep with wool get a longer, more restful sleep
