Alpacas and more


A couple of weekends ago I went up to Guthrie, OK, to see Donna Hilton.  Donna is the owner of The Weavery at Indian Meridian.  I went to see Donna because she has alpacas, roving, looms, spinning wheels and drop spindles.  But mostly I wanted to see the alpacas. 
 
 
Donna has several alpacas (I think she said 8), but she also has llamas and angora goats.  She showed me some of the roving from her alpacas, and it was beautiful.  Almost made me want to learn to spin.


Here are just a few of Donna's alpacas.  They were very curious to see these strangers who were visiting.

 
Donna showed me her shop and weaving room, too.  She was very informative, and I had a lot of fun.
 
 
Here is a small sample of the roving Donna has.  I love the colors.


Spinning wheels anyone?

 
All in all it was a great trip.  If you are in central Oklahoma and interested in spinning or weaving, you should make an appointment and visit Donna.  She is just a few miles east of Guthrie.

Oh, and I might, just might have come home with a 10 inch Cricket loom.  Just maybe.
