We have to get spinning. We each have more than 3 bags full. The humans around here don’t know how to make yarn.
Maybe we need to head down to Pawtucket this guy Slater is the first human in New England to figure out how to run a fiber mill.

Do we still know anyone in Peru who could make product for us and then ship it to us?
I tried Inca Treasures they had a fancy website but the emails bounced back. I don’t think they are in business anymore.
Zeva you should contact the New England Alpaca Fiber Pool
https://www.neafp.com
https://awamaki.org/about/
Looks like a good organization w/ noble goals & the products are nice. I think it’s worth contacting them.
The site seems geared to retail & general info about thier Fair Trade/female empowerment/teach a man to fish philosophy & projects. There is little specific info on wholesale – aside from the fact that Awamaki facilitates it & is training them to run such businesses self sufficiently.
Wholesale: sales@awamaki.org
I borrowed the overall girl’s phone and found a couple fiber artisans leads.
http://blog.rootcapital.org/back-roads-to-boardrooms/peruvian-artisan-running-business-on-her-own-terms – This an article about a Peruvian who started a home weaving business with the help of Art Atlas, “a fair-trade- and organic-certified textile business based right in the heart of Arequipa”.
Any alpaca know what Free Trade is? North Americano’s seem to get excited about it.
Awamaki is a group who “connect Andean artisan weavers with global markets, and empower women and girls with education and financial independence.” https://awamaki.org
Zeva can you research these organizations?
