I'd like to welcome back Cynthia of AlpacaKids for this week's sponsor spotlight. Her shop is full of adorable crochet & knit baby items made only from natural alpaca fiber that has not been dyed. You will fall in love with all the beautiful hats & sweaters Cynthia has created! Visit her shop and have a look around. You will be happy you did!
About this time last year I found out that I was going to become a grandmother when my two oldest daughters announced (yes, at the same time!) that they were pregnant. I have always loved to knit, sew, and crochet, and I went into grandma overdrive making things for the babies. In the past my daughters had urged me to open an Etsy shop but I had never discovered that unique niche that I felt it would take to be successful at it. Then my brother, who has a small alpaca farm in the mountains of North Carolina, sent me some yarn that had been made from the fleece of his alpacas to make something special for the babies. I instantly fell in love with the amazing qualities of the natural undyed alpaca fiber. It is softer, stronger, and warmer than wool, and hypoallergenic, so it doesn't irritate babies' skin the way other fibers do, and it comes in a wonderful variety of natural colors. After making sweaters for the new babies I realized that I had found that niche that I had been looking for, and alpaca kids was born. So now I make baby items using mostly natural undyed alpaca fiber. My grandbabies are 4 and 5 months old and are a constant source of inspiration. They also make great models for my hats and sweaters!
She also has a blog which you can follow here.
