Hi! I show you how I handspin Suri alpaca washed fleece on my Lendrum spinning wheel. Fleeces similar to shown can be purchased at my Etsy store :) Always more fleeces available after spring shearing season. https://www.etsy.com/shop/WisteriaSuriRanch
I include other little tidbits like Suri alpaca roving, drop spindle, wool picker, drum carder, staple length- but the main demo is spinning washed fleece right off of my alpacas.
I raise Suri alpacas with lots of love on my farm, Wisteria Suri Ranch, in Texas. I hand shear them gently, wash the fleece and spin! I sell some of my fleeces on Etsy :)
Shearing season is mostly April for us, and I will record more shearing videos so you can see how my alpacas are treated. If you bought fleeces from our animals and are learning to spin, THANK YOU! We appreciate you supporting our farm and our mission of raising our alpacas with love and respect. You can see other videos of how I interact with our animals. You are directly supporting this loving approach and are part of our farm family! Sending you much love and gratitude!

I wasn't sure how hand shearing Kyler would go since this was his first time getting hand shorn at my farm. He was very skittish when he joined our farm to be Milano's buddy last June. I could barely get near him- so I spent a lot of time working with him slowly. You can see some training videos I have with him. He has gotten calm enough but shearing is another story!
I was very determined to hand shear him standing without restraint even though I knew it would be a challenge. For his health safety with the heat in Texas, I did set a deadline that if I couldn't hand shear him by a certain date- I would use the rotating table and restrain him. The whole month, I kept trying but he wasn't too sure but we had a big breakthrough the week before this video.
Anyway- I recorded this so you can see how what may seem pretty impossible can become possible with tons of patience :)

Howdy! Just sharing my alpaca farm morning chores with you and how I start my day. Well, this is a very shortened 8 minute video version of my morning chores as it takes about an hour to hour and a half to do everything I mention :)
Alpacas are amazing and having an alpaca farm has always been my dream- but they need to be cared for 365 days a year, so even if each day, it doesn't seem like there are that many things to do, there is no day off. Of course, I'd never trade it for anything else in the world and it is still a joy after 14 years! Shearing season is exciting and I hand shear my alpacas one by one :) Have a great day!
I treat my alpacas and all animals with lots of love and respect.

Hi! This is a fun little needle felting project that requires very little fiber and time. In this video, I use core wool for the basic shape and hand dyed alpaca roving from our farm to create the lady bug. Enjoy!

This little guy thinks he's super tough and likes to run around the farm with pure confidence. He loves to hang out with our huge 120+ lb guardian dogs and tries to tell our alpacas who's boss!!! He's so adorable and confident and we love him so much.
