Ruanas and Fleeces

Lisa has changed her website a bit at www.pedrospride.com . For one thing, they have added another color to the fabulous ruanas. The ruana is a fantastic wrap, similar to a shawl, but shaped to fit your neck and stay on more comfortably. Here is the new color chart. And, remember that Pedro's Pride Fashions sells alpaca products, including the ruanas, wholesale to ranch stores.

Thirty-four great colors. Ruanas are made from 70 % Baby Alpaca and 30 % natural Silk. Imported from Peru.

And, speaking of fiber, our male Pedro's sheared fleece weighed in at 12 pounds. Carrie Hull said she wouldn't have believed it if she hadn't seen it. In fact, she did his shearing. And, she did a great job. A little Rescue Remedy helped the big boy calm a bit, as well. His fleece is dense and this trait has been passed on to his four offspring. He had a good week, too. He bred twice. Next week, he will be doing the same. What a guy!

Pedro tells me to be very lenient on negotiating his stud fees--I'm sure he would offer himself for free. His employees (Lisa and me), however, need to pay for his feed, so we need some money for his services, but we are quite willing to trade or negotiate some great deals.

All our best,

Ken Larson,
