## Resource

When most of us pick up a skein of alpaca yarn, we think about how soft it is, how warm it will be, and maybe what we’ll knit with it. But how often do we stop and think about the animals themselves? Today’s episode takes us all the way back to the beginning of the fiber journey. I’m joined by Marybeth and Kirstan from TLC Fiber Farm, a forever home for rescued alpacas and Snallygaster Fibers.We talk about what it’s really like to care for these remarkable animals, the personalities that make each alpaca unique, and what happens on shearing day—something that involves a lot more than just a haircut. We also follow the journey from fleece to finished yarn, discuss dyeing fiber, and share plenty of stories from life on an alpaca farm.So grab your knitting, your spinning wheel, or your favorite cup of tea, and join us as we step out of the dye studio and into the pasture.
