~ A podcast for crocheters, knitters, and alpaca owners ~
Welcome to Episode 7 of the Butterfield Alpacas & Fiber Arts Podcast! I’m Tashia Butterfield, an alpaca rancher, crochet instructor, knitter, and fiber artist of anything alpaca. In this episode, I help you choose alpaca yarn wisely for the upcoming KAL/CAL, take you to the monthly Herd Health Day at the ranch, a visit to the Spindle, Shuttle and Needle Yarn Shop, and show off my latest acquisitions and WIPs.
