Featured Products: Specialty Batts

10% off, this week only
The link above takes you to the category in our Shepherd's Song Creations Studio where these batts are listed. Each one is different (this picture is just a sampleof what they may look like) and I may only have one of each available. Prices will vary depending on what fibers are in each item and I will begin listing them at noon today.
The batts may be a blend of wool (several breeds are options and I will be specify what is in each batt), alpaca, mohair and/or other add-ins.
In the newsletter I listed these as ranging from 3-4 ounces. I greatly appologize for my typo, the listing was supposed to say 'ranging from 2-4 ounces each'.

Featured Product: Alpaca Sampler

Alpaca is a wonderful fiber! It is soft, silky, and even warmer than wool!! It takes a little more twist than wool to hold it together, and it doesn't have the elasticity of wool, (One of my friends call this 'sproing'! =) ), but it can still be used for a number of handmade items.
This item is a small ampler of different colors of alpaca, and you will find that they each have a slightly different quality. One reason I am offering this item is because not all alpaca is the same. It has different grades to it, just as wool does. One fairly simple factor that can affect the quality of the fiber is the age of the animal. It is my hope that by having the opportunity to handle these samples of alpaca, a spinner, especially a new spinner, will be able to learn a little more about the fiber, and it's characteristics and qualities.
