Alpacas Are Absolutely Awesome

Feel Creative?! If you're someone who loves to watch things grow, find out about animals -- especially "furry" ones with fiber, spend time with nature, knit/crochet/spin/weave . . . this is for you!

We had a beautiful full Accoyo cria at our Virginia Ranch location. We named her Diamond Accoyo Annie-Get-Your-Gun, as she was out of Calamity Jane and Jedi Accoyo of the USA. What a gorgeous little girl! So curly!

Here you can see Annie pronking (alpaca-speak for playing) with her friends, Diamond Black Magic and Diamond Magic Penny. Penny is a suri (pronounced "sir-ee"), while Magic and Annie are both huacaya (pronounced "wha-kai-a"). Huacayas have a much more dense, curly fiber, while suris have a fiber that is longer and appears to fall in long, pencilled locks. We have both types of alpacas on our ranch in Virginia, as well as our Oklahoma ranch.
