[AlpacaTalk] Re: I Wish...Alpacanation.....had listed...

 

I'm so sorry I started this thread...I really am...I hope I dont get kicked off of this site..but here goes..
I'm trying to buy good fiber for a very good price..yes way below what some are asking..I clean it and spin it...when I can (I'm diabled)and knit either by hand or with my machine..I can make a beautiful blanket for a lap or for a child, vest..and all with designs. I hope to sell them back to farms are a VERY LOW price for my work, so that they can make money and get the alpacas fleece out there to more people.
I read the post..and know that many talk about eating these beautiful animals...(I'm not a meat eater :O) and for those that can and are..its ok..but if I could help bring the fiber market one step more...I'm willing to do that...so..I shop for the best prices. I do not see people buying scarves at 45+ dollars when in these times its a meal. Also they may by two at a lower price?
I know this fleece is nothing but luxury at best..I only knit or crochet Alpaca for my friends and family!
Again..if I could take this back I would..I'm so sorry if I upset anyone..and please dont make me leave?
