We began upgrading the quality of our herd early in 2017 with the purchase of 5 new females, and following later in the year with the arrival of Sam (pictured) and Conner

The opportunity to aquire some suri alpacas arose in 2018 and jumped at the chance to add these beautiful, unique animals to the Stone Spindle gang

By this year we had been introduced to the fibreshed philosophy that what we wear comes from the soil and it should be able to safely return to the soil, It aligned with our personal beliefs and it was an easy transition to using only natural dyes and local manufacturing partners whenever possible.

Things were expanding and we began collaborating with various other fibre farms. It has been fun and rewarding working and sharing with other artisans

By this year we are doiing the farm jobs that we had been contracting to others. We are using organic practices to restore our pastures and hay fields. By implementing these methods we are getting better quality feed which makes for heallthier alpacas and better fleece

This was a year of faces, both new and old.

We collaborated with new designers to bring you new kits to our product line. This was something we haven't done before and it was a great experience. We also said goodbye to some of our older animals which is never an easy thing

We traveled more, meeting new people and connecting in person. We added to our product line to offer customers more selections to suit their needs
