Fiber on four legs

Alpacas, my favorite to watch but the llamas are much more

friendly. And they don't spit on you unless they are being

bothered. Like you wouldn't see it coming. The kids petted

lots of llamas while we were there.

This is the wool on a back of a sheep. It was the softest

and curliest I've ever seen.

Bluefaced Leicesters.

Jocelyn petted as many sheep as she could get her hands

on. Something about little people didn't scare the sheep as

much. This one looked her right in the face and said BAAAA

Baby J just laughed! Jocelyn would stick her hand in the

pens and the sheep would run in circles. We had to finally tell

her to stop before we got yelled at.

Icelandic sheep. It was a little warm for all that long hot

hair. I would think they must get pretty stressed in the heat.

Angora goat. Ray and I thought he had a great goatee.

Pygoras. Little pygmy angoras. I like the little versions of

animals.

They were judging the goats while we were there. I thought

this young lady and her goat were a perfect match. Just

because of their hair, she was way cuter than the goat........

Horns do have a special purpose! Other than knocking you

into next week. They were good for dragging around

uncooperative animals too. This guy wanted no part of what

she was trying to make him do.

So those are my pictures from the Fiber Festival. Glad we

went on Saturday because Sunday was a washout. Lots of

rain. Just an observation...it looks like people are still

counting their money. Not a whole lot of shoppers like last

year. It was easy to walk down isles. I did buy some

roving for felting, couldn't go home empty handed.
