• We specialize in huacaya alpaca, because that is what we raise, but we are also willing to give it a try with any fiber you would like to send our way! 
• Felting is a huge passion on the ranch.  We do not sell any felt that isn't fulled and ready to use. 
• Hand spinning is also something we are still doing, so if you have a super special fleece, we can certainly take great care of it for you.
• Unlike the larger mills, we prefer to run smaller batches (down to 1.5 lbs!) for individual animals.  We are a small operation and it makes the day go so much faster if we get to change colors once in a while!
• blending (mixing two different fiber types like wool and alpaca together starting at the picker and working through to the spinner) with other fibers is an option, we do have limited amount of Targhee wool or llama at reasonable prices.
• We do not consider plying two colors of yarn together to be "blending".  Plying colors of spun yarn is not an extra charge.
• We do not consider running two colors together on the carder for a multi color roving to be "blending".  There is no extra charge for multi color roving.
