Fleece to Shawl

Also at Mapaca was a Fleece to Shawl Competition. Similar to a Sheep to Shawl, this one used Alpaca fiber, hence the Fleece to Shawl.

There were four teams; this one placed first.

The second place shawl was very textured:

The third shawl has pleasant spring colors and was done by a youth group. What a wonderful job they did!

MAAPCA

Last week, we travelled to Harrisburg, PA to attend Mapaca. What is Mapaca you ask? It is the Mid Atlantic Alpaca Association and each year they have a show to promote North American Alpacas and their fiber.

There were vendors, fiber demonstrations, dinner, fashion show, raffles and judging.
