It's the day after shearing and the weather remains cool; no, cold and wet. The poor naked alpacas are huddled in the barn and shivering.
I happened to have a half dozen alpaca coats cut out of fabric and ready to sew together. I had prepared them for shearing last season but they were not needed. So here we go with a group effort to construct the coats and get them on the animals. One wwoofer, Patricia is pinning them together as I sew and another wwoofer, Clotilde is running the stitched parts right side out.
As each coat is completed Patricia and Clotilde take it and head for the barn to dress the coldest looking alpacas.
Before long we have the chilliest animals warmed up and we're praying the cold weather will break.
