Watch John spin the alpaca fiber into yarn
with the help of the Pug named Chloe.
John Vollmecke makes all of the alpaca yarn by hand from the Vollmecke alpaca herd. This time consuming process includes skirting, washing, picking (video) and carding (video 1) (video 2) the fiber. Finally, he spins and plies the yarn, setting the twists, and knitting the yarn into wearable art.
John was featured in Great American Crafts magazine in February 2000. The article title was "Real Men Do Knit" (download the article here).
John and Glenda are proud to present a live video cam of their alpacas on this site. You can watch as babies are born and peek into the every day activities of the fascinating alpacas that live on Cedar Canyon Ranch!
