ALPACA YOGA IS BACK albeit a bit later than usual. We have two classes lined up for the summer.
The great news is that Betty is still here, eager to befriend all the yoga participants. Will you be Betty's "Chosen One" and have her cuddle up next to your yoga mat?

I’ve talked about Male Berserk Syndrome which is now being called Aberrant Behaviour Syndrome. Kudos to this farm for being honest and up front about their experience!

WOW! A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by during the PNW Yarn Crawl and supported our alpaca rescue. I was too busy to take many pictures but it was great seeing familiar faces and meeting new "Crawlers."
Thank you for your support of our alpaca rescue!

PNW Yarn Crawl starts today thru Sunday and our Yarnopoly theme means lots of fun in store for Crawlers!

24/04/2025

The PNW Yarn Crawl starts one week from today and our theme is Yarnopoly. Plan on visiting us at “Paca Place" (aka Park Place) for free patterns, door prizes and, of course, visits with the alpacas and find yarn made from their fiber - some with a blend of Ramouillet sheep wool!
BRING A NON-PERISHABLE FOOD ITEM FOR THE “COMMUNITY CHEST” AND RECEIVE AN EXTRA RAFFLE ENTRY!

The PNW Yarn Crawl starts May 1 and you could win this amazing box of yarn by entering at each shop you visit!

A HUGE thank you to for sponsoring our Yarn Crawl with these amazing prizes!!!! 10 people during our crawl will get one of these! Did you spy that there is an INTERCHANGABLE KNITTING NEEDLE SET nestled among all that yarn????? What will you create if you win it?????

You will be entered to win at each shop you visit (each day too) plus if you bring a food donation you get an extra entry!!!!! You can get all the details on the food donation at our website www.pnwyarncrawl.com

We can't wait to party with you in 2 weeks

UPDATE: These boys have found a home

These two sweet boys are located in West Linn, OR, and are looking for a forever home. If you are interested in adopting them, please contact me. Not to be used as guard llamas! Preference given to the Portland/ Vancouver area.
POTENTIAL ADOPTERS WILL BE VETTED!
The following is from the owner:
Their names are Hamish and Andy and they are 15 years old. Their human mom got them when they were 1.
They are both gelded, have gentle personalities and were halter trained when they were young but don’t get haltered regularly, just when they get shorn. Sheared in April of 2024.
