It depends on what you're looking for. I can give you the contact info for several other wholesalers. Judith Korff LadySong Farm Randolph, NY (716) 499-0383 Sent from my iPhone ok do you know of any wholesalers that have nice things too.

Even though the agreement calls for it, we have waived that requirement for the past year and will do again this year. If if turns out that people don't use common sense, and send us fleeces full of rocks and burdocks and poop, then we will probably go back to requiring skirting. We don't want to be paying to transport rocks and such! But as long as people remove stuff that creates excessive weight or pokes holes in the bags or that ruins the fiber, then well probably keep permitting people to send unskirted fiber.
On the Americas Alpaca website, the products are clearly marked "made in Peru" if they have been imported. In short, all of our Extreme and Trekker socks as well as all yarns and rovings are made if member fiber right here in the US. No member fiber is shipped out of the US for processing. We offer a number if other Made in the US items as well, though, so if you're interested in an item just check the text to see if it says Made in Peru.

Thanks!

Don't worry about the referral, lol, I'd just love to have you join in whatever level is best for you! ;-) Judith Korff LadySong Farm Randolph, NY (716) 499-0383 Sent from my iPhone Will you get the referral for a B Membership, as well? Is it possible to go with the B Membership and upgrade down the road?
Those payouts are not bad--definitely better than $0, for sure!
I know many people that have never sent their fiber anywhere and it is stacked in their barns, in bags. Unreal.
Are there any drop off spots near VA? I know one guy, in particular, that wants to clean out his barn!

There are two levels of membership now. The $250 level is our Class A membership which gives you a year-end profit share distribution, voting rights and a 50% member discount on products. Our new Class B membership is only $1 and gets you a year-end profit share distribution only.
If you decide to join, tell them I sent you lol! That earns me a $25 store credit. :-) Judith Korff LadySong Farm Randolph, NY Sent from my iPhone
