Thanks so much to everyone who participated in the contest to name our alpaca. With over 200 names suggested we had quite a variety to make our final choice. So... we have just finished a family gathering and unamimously decided... so now he has a name and it is Dante. Thanks to Chase B. who posted the suggestion on June 22nd at 5:09 pm. You've won a $25 Gift certificate to our online store Alpaca Direct Thanks to everyone else for all the creativity and fun in helping our cute little alpaca have a nice name. Next year you'll see if first year fleece be available as a buttery black alpaca yarn direct from our ranch!

Help Name Our Alpaca - Contest Ends June 30th!
We'd like help in naming our newest addition to our alpaca ranch. Here's some characteristics about this little boy who was born a couple of weeks ago. He is coal black with soft, silky fiber that we'll eventually shear and sell as yarn on our website. He's really fast running around the pasture, likes to pronk, is very curious, is very proud in his stance like his father (Snowmass Conquistador). He is very independant but still likes to stay by his mom (Daphne) in the evenings. There's more pictures on our ranch website photo gallery So here's the deal, suggest a name in the comments section of this blog along with reason. The winner will get a $25 gift card from Alpaca Direct. Winner (and name) to be announced on July 1st, 2009.

New Alpaca Yarn from our Ranch is available
We just got our Alpaca Yarn from our annual "Shearing Day" back from the mill. This year the alpaca yarn looks great and as always our limited supply will likely run out soon. This yarn makes a great shawl or scarf project to give to someone special. In addition we provide you with a picture of the Alpaca to include in your gift or as a momento. Better yet, come out and visit our ranch and see "Your" special alpaca in person!
Here's Annabelle...
