“Catherine is the most delightfully, friendly lady to deal with. Her Alpaca fiber is the nicest I have ever spun, and I have been spinning for 25 years. It is just beautiful. The Alpaca yarn is wonderful. The crochet garments are lovely as well. I highly recommend this Alpaca business. What they advertise and what you get are 💯 true in all aspects. I have dealt with quite a few Alpaca farms and this one is the leader.”
