Check the showbook for the daily schedule. These informal presentations cover almost any fiber interest—from a simple stitch to a full-blown project, a fiber type to a complete fabric, a theory to something much more tangible." Come visit with us, see (and touch) alpaca fleeces, yarn and finished products made from this amazing fiber!

This hands on and interactive seminar will be led by AOA Senior Judge Amanda VandenBosch. The program will cover micron assessment and uniformity, identify fleece style, assess fiber development and the tools that can help us. We will brainstorm on improving yield, look at fiber grades, end use and product development to add value to your farm. Please bring one or two fleeces per farm for review during the seminar. We will put into practice what we learn. Don't miss this great opportunity to spend the day with Amanda talking fleece!
