Ranch owner Cindy couldn't have been a more pleasant guide. She provided information about alpacas answering every question we could ask and more. Of course we spent quite some time with about a dozen mothers and babies. With the treats provided, these skittish creatures became our very good friends. Cindy made clear that she would really favor a group of handicapped or disadvantaged children to a bunch of boisterous 8-th graders. This is a working ranch that focuses on stud fees, fleece, and selling well-bred animals and visits are just a small part of the income stream.

To a Spinner, there is no fleece more coveted than the might Alpaca. Never mind you are spinning a…read morefleece that feels like butter and never mind the vast versatility of the fleece, never mind this luxurious fleece is hypoallergenic or the fact you can choose between Huacaya which has amazing crimp, or for he more advanced spinner, can use Suri which has no crimp....just a few good reasons to choose Alpaca fleece but the reason you really choose Alpaca....for me, is the animal itself. How could anyone resist those baby doll faces and sweet temperaments? Now, I have to admit to being a hobby farm enthusiast, mainly because our family used to be hobby farm owners, so the animal is just as important to me as the fleece. When it came time to go on my search to find my first Alpaca Fleeces, I wasn't interested in just ordering on-line or having a friend procure one for me, I wanted to feel my way through the process. You will never imagine my joy at having found 'Stargazers Ranch' in Loveland, Colorado. When you go to Stargazers, you are not going to just purchase a fleece, you are going for the experience! My experience started when my husband helped me into my wheelchair...why is that significant you ask? That is my way of telling you they are completely accessible! Yes, even in a wheelchair, you can have a complete experience and not have to sit at the edge of the barn floor and watch from a distance as happens so many times when you are confined to a chair. When I arrived at Stargazers, I arrived to dozens of fleeces and roving's having been sat out for me. Since I am a relatively new spinner, I needed some advice and instruction in choosing my fleeces. I knew I wanted a skirted fleece since I still have difficulty choosing what should go and what should stay. I was offered a vast array of skirted and tipped fleeces in every color Alpacas have to offer. I love the beauty of natural darker colored Alpacas so that is where my eyes went. I purchased everything from a dark gray, a dark brown and a dark fawn, and, of course, a stunning white from a girl named Curly Sue. The micron counts ranged from approximately 18 to 23 and they all promised hours of joyful spinning. After the delightful experience of mini-lessons on choosing an Alpaca Fleece and going through dozens of choices, having made my decisions, I was offered the opportunity of meeting the stars of Stargazers, the Alpacas themselves. I was treated so kindly. The owners went above and beyond to allow me in the pens with the Alpacas, starting with babies...how fun is that!?! The Alpacas were timid of me at first, after all, I drove in their pens in an electric wheelchair. It was a bit intimidating for them at first, but I was given some treats and it didn't take long for the promise of treats to overcome their skittishness around the wheelchair. In no time, I was surrounded by excited Alpacas. We went from pen to pen, meeting all the girls and boys of the farm...my joy was complete! If you want a fabulous Alpaca Fleece, by all means, go on-line and purchase fleece from Stargazers, you can't do better than their babies. However, if by chance, you happen to find yourself in Colorado and want an experience you will never forget, stop by Stargazers. I am taking home four bags full of beautiful Alpaca fiber but I have to tell you, I have my eye on a little girl we met whose fleece is destine to be on my wheel after her next shearing!!! I have found my Alpaca Fleece source! You should give them a try and make Stargazers your Alpaca Fleece providers of choice!!!
