Edit: I guess I’m the only one who sees if you are a top fan.. I just checked with Dave’s account and he can’t see that on his.. but please still play along and I’ll just screenshot each day so you can see:) Hi all!! I’ve been so busy and crappy at posting to social media lately and as a result my reach hasn’t been as good. So I have a goal to walk out to the alpacas and take some photos to share daily! I’ll be posting to Instagram and My fb page ... Please feel free to share my photos if you see something you love. Fb gives out badges.. if you have earned the top fan status you are in the draw for a 100 gram skein (Any kind dyed or natural in stock) If you aren’t a top fan you can get that status by interacting with my posts (hit like, leave a comment or share) I have no control over this. It’s just something fb does. To see if you are a top fan leave a comment and it will show under your name! (If you aren’t come back in a few days and try again) I’ll do the draw two weeks from now:) Also I should add. A while ago I started a group to sell the products in. You can find that by clicking the shop now button. I’m busy dyeing but trying to post some new yarn daily. Look in the albums:) so far only Aran has been updated but if you see something in the group you like just ask and I’ll check to see if I still have it. I’m trying to get the rest of the yarn dyed before the weather changes. Thank you! Leslie Edit: I guess I’m the only one who sees if you are a top fan..

I am speechless! And forever grateful! 4 years ago my brother committed suicide here on our farm My dad became very ill afterwards, and everything was blah and seemed hopeless and impossible. Last year we put the farm up for sale because there seemed to be no way we could make it work. The inventory and bills were piling up as I wasnt able to focus enough to sell what I needed to keep the farm going. Huge! Thanks to all of you who purchased from us! My inventory problem ...is fixed and I just made a whole bunch of new friends! Friends from the fiber community are some of the best people I know. You all rock and I thank you My dads health seems to be doing much better and hes had a change of heart about selling the farm (thank God it didnt sell last year!) Im looking forward to many more years of providing the world with amazing alpaca goods from my favourite animals! Cheers! Leslie Ps head over to my page A to Z Alpacas and like it to keep up with the farm happenings and new goodies! https://www.facebook.com/groups/1235479620132442 I still have more goodies in my album as well! https://www.facebook.com/media/set/

Getting ready for the big show at the end of the month! And I figured Id better explain better what this is all about! It is a huge online fiber festival that the Wool and Fiber Arts puts on once a month. Because of covid a lot of in person festivals were cancelled so a group of wonderful people put this together and then I was lucky enough to be a part of it this month! For the last weekend of August every half hour there will be a new vendor going live! My spot is Saturda...y August 29th at 9 am mst (11 est) I only have half hour and I plan to offer everything I currently have in stock. A LOT sells! I watched the shows in July and was so excited to be a part of this. But what that means is I will be very limited in what I have to offer you all afterwards. So if A to Z yarn is on your list of things to get, be sure to hit going on this event now to be notified. https://facebook.com/events/s/a-to-z-alpacas-wafa-live-sale/3787731837923181/?ti=icl (Maybe set a reminder in your phone too ) Then head to the wafa (wool and fiber arts) group and join there too! Thats where I will be going live! https://www.facebook.com/groups/wafalive/?ref=share The way the live will work: Ill show an item and let you know grams yardage and price. All prices are in Canadian dollars. Each item will have a number. If you see something you want simply comment the number of the item you want. First to comment commits to buying. Since I only have half an hour and lots to show I wont spend anytime reading comments until after the show. If you have a question please feel free to comment or message and Ill get back to you after the show. I really hope you can make it!
Working on naturals today! One week until the big show! Join the wool and Fiber arts group on Facebook and tune in Saturday aug 29 at 11 am est (9am my time mst) to see all my goodies made with the fleece from dads awesome alpacas!
Working on more yarn for my next big event! Ill be going live in the Wool and Fiber Arts Facebook group! I wont have a lot left to offer after this large reveal of new goodies so be sure to check it out!
