ALPACA WOOL
 
At Windreach Farm we have two alpacas one white and one honey coloured.  They were sheared this year and there are about 5 bags of untreated alpaca wool waiting for a good home. Is there anyone who might be looking for this type of fibre?  Windreach Farm is a not for profit farm it is a therapeutic riding facility accessible to people with disabilities and special needs.  If anyone is interested in the alpaca wool a small donation to the farm would be appreciated
