~ A podcast for crocheters, knitters, and alpaca owners ~
Welcome to Episode 10 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, we’ll talk a lot about shearing, one of the most crucial days of the year for an alpaca business because it’s our harvest time. You’ll get to see me shear one of my girls, learn about the tools used, and be reintroduced to the herd after shearing. I’ll also give you a glimpse into future episodes and close by showing you what I’ve been doing for the #alpacaKAL.
