For two afternoons this last week I set up my smaller loom, the Ashford 24" table loom, at the Sabamba Alpaca ranch which is only about 10 miles from home, to join a few of the women in the local spinning guild in demonstrating spinning and weaving. We had some wonderful visitors who asked questions about what we were doing, and we also got to see the worlds cutest alpacas. Sally Schmidt is the owner of the ranch and is a very friendly lady who knows a great deal about these beautiful animals. The reason for this event was that some seasoned-citizens from the Milwaukee area were taking tours of north eastern Wisconsin, and Sabamba was on their tour route, right after a visit to St Norbert's Abbey (my next door neighbors). There is not a lot of weaving in this video, but I do show you my loom and how it folds up for travel. More importantly I show you a lot of cute alpacas, and I show you how the ladies were spinning alpaca fleece into wonderfully soft yarn.
