Alpaca Shawl Before It Was An Alpaca Shawl
Did you ever wonder how an alpaca shawl starts out. It starts out on the alpaca of course. Someone has to sheer all that wonderfull alpaca fur off of our lovely alpaca friends. That job falls to your local alpaca farmer (that is if there is a local alpaca farm to you, else it would be your far away alpaca farmer, I guess). The best way to show you step one in the production of an alpaca shawl would be to, duhh, show you. Here is a great video from Dirty Jobs with Mike Rowe. There are plenty of other alpaca sheering example videos out there, but I love that show so that is what you get. Enjoy!!!
