Pam will be holding a comprehensive fiber workshop at the VAOBA Expo (18–19 October) in Lexington Virginia, at the Horse Center. This hands-on class was very well received at the MAPACA Jubilee this year. It covers:

• Skirting fleece for consistency throughout the blanket
• Using fiber knowledge for breeding program considerations
• Preparing fiber for multiple purposes, and
• Showcasing and marketing your fiber harvest.

Stop into our new Fiber Arts studio, now open for shopping a wide variety of lovely one of a kind alpaca apparel and gift items. Spinners will delight in the spinning wheels and lessons, carders, fleeces and rovings.

Rundown on Fall Crias!

Late this spring we had our best crop of crias in six years! These are the product of purposeful genetic breeding for incredible fineness and long fiber staple length.  We were again very selective, using the Accoyo herd sires PPPeruvian Royal Fawn, Peruvian Accoyo Odyssey and Snowmass Invincible. The cria colors range from white, fawn, medium brown to bay black males. Here's the rundown:

• Heartline Royal Artemus Fawn: pure Peruvian 7/8 Accoyo Medium Fawn son of Royal Fawn
• Heartline Royal Jefe: pure Peruvian 3/4 Accoyo Bay Black son of Royal Fawn
• Heartline Royal Philipe: pure Peruvian 3/4 Accoyo part Alianza Light Fawn son of Royal Fawn
• Heartline Sir Bear Extraordinaire: Chilean and Peruvian Accoyo Medium Brown son of multi-champion Sir Accoyo Peruvian Oddessy
• Heartline Sir Lionheart: 3/4 Peruvian 1/4 Chilean White (with Fawn marking on tail) son of multi-champion Sir Accoyo Peruvian Oddessy
• El Tovar: Peruvian lineage, pure White son of Snowmass Invincible
  

We invite you to visit Alpacas For Sale and inspect these six crias that are the results of our breedings with these exceptional bloodlines. Inquiries welcome.

We announce with pride these recent show results for Heartline alpacas...
