Alpaca Tracks T(h)read Lightly Fall Fiesta

9/29/2016

We invite you to meet the animals that produce these beautiful fleeces. It is a long journey from good animal husbandry practices to shearing, sorting, classing, de-vegging, washing, dyeing, picking, carding, spinning, finding the perfect end product and marketing it to potential customers. This is all part of our labour of love.
We offer wet felting, machine knitting, weaving and needle felting courses from November to April at our farm. Come see what we have to offer. We look forward to your visit.

FeltLoom Workshop

9/7/2016

Comments

Experience the magic of creating your own designs with the original FeltLOOM® needle felting machine. With backgrounds in engineering, farming and several years of creating with fibers behind them, Don Bowles and Lanette Freitag designed, engineered and produced their first FeltLOOM® in 2003. We feel very priveledged to have Lanette offer a two day course at our farm. On the first day, Lanette will show us various techniques for different fabric transformation projects and make samples of many kind of material and on the second day participants will create their very own vest. We have a limited number of spaces. Participants are invited to bring a piece of open weave fabric that you will have the opportunity to transform into something with your own personal flair.
