D'Lux Meadow Alpacas

Description

Patches’ dam Pumpkin posted the highest score of any alpaca in the 2021 Suri Network Fleece Show Spin Off. She has incredible staple length and handle, but her luster is just good, not “burn your eyes out” good. We bred her to 2021 AOA Supreme National Champion WLK Star Dancer, a herdsire with stunning luster. Patches is the result and we couldn’t be happier! He has gorgeous, flat locks; brilliant luster; and incredibly fine fiber. We’ll need to wait 'til shearing to be certain, but we suspect he will have Grade 0 fiber.

Patches has a sweet and friendly disposition, although he is not as “Hi! I’M HAPPY TO SEE YOU!!” as his pasturemate Prince. He’s a good-sized boy, weighing 88 lbs at 6 months of age. He’s white, with a couple of large light fawn spots on his back. Fortunately the spots are large, so we expect to easily separate his fleece into color components before we send it off to the mill for carding.

If he doesn’t trash his fleece prior to shearing (he loves to roll in anything), we’ll send it to some fleece competitions, so it may be quite a while after this May’s shearing before any of his fleece is available. Keep an eye our Etsy page to see his fleece when it finally is available.
