Specializing in Suri Alpacas and Alpaca Fiber Products

About the farm...
I just fell in love with the suri alpacas when we went alpaca shopping a few years ago. So we decided to jump right in and bought a few and then added 2 more girls almost a year later, and we now we have 12, with 2 more due any day. The fiber part of the business has taken right off with the luxurious and silky suri alpaca I offer. I card, spin, knit, crochet and felt items for sale. Visit my website at www.breezyridgealpacas.com or www.alpacanation.com and go to my store page where it takes you to my online shopping site. Not all of my items are listed as I am adding things constantly. I do several craft shows during the year and have a blast doing them. If you are in the area and want to see the alpacas or the things I make, please give us a call.

About Midwest Fiber Crafts and the Author

Hello, I'm Shalana, a traditional feltmaker and real fiber fanatic. My husband, baby girl, dog, and I live right in the middle of the Midwest in the Kansas City, Missouri, area. We usually attend several fiber related events each year. That inspired me to start this blog with postings of all kinds of fiber related events, shows, meeting, activities, information, and resources. I look forward to sharing what the Midwest has to offer. If you know of an event in the Midwest focused on fiber in some way, please submit it. The posting service is free! This blog is intended to be a good resource for all fiber enthusiasts located in the Midwestern United States.

You can find more information about myself and my fiber art endeavors at my personal blog and at my business website. And, if you'd like to get in touch with me about MFC, please email me. I'm always happy to hear from you!
