blog - Growing Color - Just outside the dye house was the perfect little scrap of unused space. It’s about 35 feet long by 15 feet wide and has the ideal sun exposure to be home to the dye garden! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbedf7c18f72258ac6d403a/1627680131325-JCHQRRR7I24GMFL8ZR3B/bush Old Homestead Alpacas - blog - Growing Color - Every spring, I take heaping shovels full of the alpaca’s manure and incorporate it into the beds, before sprinkling little seeds everywhere. Or as in the case of these bright orange cosmos, they self seed and sprout all on their own! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbedf7c18f72258ac6d403a/1627680043431-Z4TNDMW512YKHRJC51ZH/orange+flowers Old Homestead Alpacas - blog - Growing Color - May through September, I’m able to use the flowers for dye when they’re freshly picked. I like to pick them in the early morning when it’s cool and enjoyable — and before the pollinators wake up. It’s a lovely morning ritual, especially with a hot cup of coffee. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbedf7c18f72258ac6d403a/1627680700452-IJB1HY6W29KXO4D47WT3/orange+liquid Old Homestead Alpacas - blog - Growing Color - Cosmos grow effortlessly, with multiple buds per stem. The more you pick, the more they bloom! Using a low, slow heat, cosmos steeped in water make the clearest, cheeriest orange of all time. Even non-orange lovers agree. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbedf7c18f72258ac6d403a/1627681494768-FN9QYRR3G6NSWLYTNYOZ/IMG_3221.JPG Old Homestead Alpacas - blog - Growing Color https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbedf7c18f72258ac6d403a/1627681502835-OZJNULTOAVIJN3WG1DRB/IMG_2631+2.JPG Old Homestead Alpacas - blog - Growing Color - yarn (Copy) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbedf7c18f72258ac6d403a/1627688529870-EOME0E0K824CQ12Y13FJ/flowering+bush Old Homestead Alpacas - blog - Growing Color - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbedf7c18f72258ac6d403a/1627688571261-6GY2RW52SKA66L43Y2PX/orange+blossoms Old Homestead Alpacas - blog - Growing Color - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbedf7c18f72258ac6d403a/1627688612904-OSYK7JZT3EPFFWJHDAB4/flowered+initials Old Homestead Alpacas - blog - Growing Color - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbedf7c18f72258ac6d403a/1627684671828-LBL0H68VU6OA6BKH7IDZ/plants Old Homestead Alpacas - blog - Growing Color - Another must-grow dye plant I use is weld - or - dyer’s rocket. In some areas it’s an invasive weed. And no wonder, it’s tall pointy spires are encased in tens of thousands of itty bitty seeds. I’ve never have to replant this one because I harvest for dye when the seed heads are full — so it self seeds like mad. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbedf7c18f72258ac6d403a/1627685921543-9AA30V7EJB1X2BRO0ZBP/IMG_9164.jpg Old Homestead Alpacas -

Every skein of yarn and each piece of the knitwear collection was dyed by me in this space. Just outside the dye house was the perfect little scrap of unused space. It’s about 35 feet long by 15 feet wide and has the ideal sun exposure to be home to the dye garden! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbedf7c18f72258ac6d403a/1627680131325-JCHQRRR7I24GMFL8ZR3B/bush Old Homestead Alpacas - blog - Homegrown Color - Every spring, I take heaping shovels full of the alpaca’s manure and incorporate it into the beds, before sprinkling little seeds everywhere.

I like to pick them in the early morning when it’s cool and enjoyable — and before the pollinators wake up. It’s a lovely morning ritual, especially with a hot cup of coffee. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbedf7c18f72258ac6d403a/1627680700452-IJB1HY6W29KXO4D47WT3/orange+liquid Old Homestead Alpacas - blog - Homegrown Color - Cosmos grow effortlessly, with multiple buds per stem.

When faced with the slightest confinement, she will barrel right though you as she has done to me on a number of occasions. Oh yes, being stuck inside anywhere, even just momentarily, be it a cozy stall or 10 wide-open acres, Sugar can feel the restraint in every inch.

A terroir of it’s own, here in our little slice of wine country. Oh yes, if 2020 was a shawl, she’d be entirely produced and milled within one singular county, by humble, hardworking Walla Walla hands. That’s not something you can say for textiles these days. But if 2020 was a shawl, she’d be home grown and home bound step of the way. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbedf7c18f72258ac6d403a/1609096242540-DWWYEHAHHVSNJBWLIHYN/walla+walla+sunrise Old Homestead Alpacas - blog - If 2020 was a shawl https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbedf7c18f72258ac6d403a/1609096353396-L7T14MFXIIZBNF16U1M3/indigo+seedlings Old Homestead Alpacas - blog - If 2020 was a shawl - A complicated chemistry laid there within her leaves, known to our ancestors across the millennia, and finally to me in 2020. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbedf7c18f72258ac6d403a/1609096494277-H0OAV2DRR3DHFULWVB71/making+indigo+dye Old Homestead Alpacas - blog - If 2020 was a shawl https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbedf7c18f72258ac6d403a/1609096757530-2N9Y3FV0QH1CM416OEHU/blue+indigo+dye Old Homestead Alpacas - blog - If 2020 was a shawl - A visual reminder at how swiftly life can change, you can be pulled from one realm into the next.

He’s one of the biggest producers on the farm, typically yielding 3.5 pounds of prime fiber every spring at shearing. Benji’s fiber is featured in our 2020 Farm Yarn. And since he is so even keeled and friendly, it’s no surprise his fiber paired really well with a small percentage of merino wool. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbedf7c18f72258ac6d403a/1601062760196-YKXBVGIKZLE5P5SVRVGI/Calvin+Klein+the+alpaca Old Homestead Alpacas - blog - Meet the herd - the gents - CALVIN KLEIN With the curliest and finest (softest) locks in the whole boy herd, it is no surprise he was named after a famous fashion designer. Calvin is an easy-going, mild mannered chap. If he could speak, I’m almost certain he’d have a thick Irish accent. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbedf7c18f72258ac6d403a/1594226165537-U8I0XSM6KN4L06WOHIOF/close+up+alpaca+face Old Homestead Alpacas - blog - Meet the herd - the gents - LEGEND Spending his early years working the show ring and winning awards, Legend also has superior genetics to back up his name. Don’t tell the rest of ‘em, but Legend is the only male of ours that is poised to become a farm stud in the coming years… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbedf7c18f72258ac6d403a/1601062950381-114P4M16L7PO05QFFMMG/Rainier+the+alpaca Old Homestead Alpacas - blog - Meet the herd - the gents - RAINIER As the name would suggest, Rainier comes from a long line of Pacific Northwesterners. He’s stout but compact and has beautifully buttery-soft fleece to match his sweet and tender disposition. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbedf7c18f72258ac6d403a/1601063496154-KJPVNASNQCV7IX7XZE5D/Willie+Nelson+the+alpaca Old Homestead Alpacas - blog - Meet the herd - the gents - WILLIE NELSON When he was a cria (baby), the way the fleece framed his face reminded me of Willie Nelson. And while all the other crias were going bonkers in the pastures, he’d be chilling out in the shade of a tree enjoying the country day…almost like he was composing lyrics to the breezes that blew by. Even as a young fellow, his vibe remains unchanged, he is certainly a Willie Nelson. And he is my absolute favorite. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbedf7c18f72258ac6d403a/1601063326335-FDKBTE8YQO9ZH2IXUBQF/Spit+fire+the+alpaca Old Homestead Alpacas - blog - Meet the herd - the gents - SPITFIRE At just 5 minutes old, this spry guy was not just standing up, he was running. At the 15-minute mark, he had learned how to work his spitter. And since I had never seen a newborn cria attempt to spit, the name Spitfire only seemed fitting. Now that he’s grown up, he is one of our biggest boys, and his very chill personality is hard to miss. If I had to do it all over again, he’d be named Norm. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbedf7c18f72258ac6d403a/1601064028635-NT6DCOBHFDA3V3UIO2N5/Mario+Andretti+the+alpaca Old Homestead Alpacas - blog - Meet the herd - the gents - MARIO ANDRETTI The first baby to our farm’s first baby, this guy is named after legendary Indy car racer, Mario Andretti. And I reckon he is aptly named because he’s a total macho man. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbedf7c18f72258ac6d403a/1601064488617-GZC8Z3SHJDP49KY07BV5/Rocky+Balboa+the+alpaca Old Homestead Alpacas - blog - Meet the herd - the gents - ROCKY BALBOA Rocky is our special little guy, and definitely the farm’s mascot. His dam (mom) was gravely ill during her first trimester, we almost lost her but she managed to still carry to full term. But he was born very small, too small to even reach the ‘milk bar’. He was only 7lbs when he should’ve been at least 15! But with TLC, he pulled through and farm friends voted to name him Rocky Balboa because he was such a fighter. Rocky is stunted but what he lacks in stature he makes up for in heart. Because he is small & friendly, Rocky has an important role on the farm - he acts as ‘first friend’ to newly weaned males. He spends the first several weeks with weanlings, helping them transition away from mom and finding their legs as they prepare to enter the ‘big boy’ herd. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbedf7c18f72258ac6d403a/1601064987615-HA1IA0Q5059XZQD5ZIE7/alpaca+herd+behind+the+barn Old Homestead Alpacas - blog - Meet the herd - the gents https://www.oldhomesteadalpacas.com/blog/meet-the-herd-girls monthly 0.5 2021-12-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbedf7c18f72258ac6d403a/1594225959446-E1I7SFWU5NCF8Z9OMBEJ/beautiful+black+alpaca Old Homestead Alpacas - blog - Meet the herd - the girls! - FELINA She is our resident matriarch who will be 13 in December 2020.

Birdie is definitely one of our ‘foundation’ females as she has produced a number of offspring for us, including Benji, Willie Nelson and Riff Raff. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbedf7c18f72258ac6d403a/1594226330626-EWALIVA4WR1QU5CNAU9I/big+ears+on+an+alpaca Old Homestead Alpacas - blog - Meet the herd - the girls! - RIFF RAFF She made such a quick and dynamic entrance to the world, that the name seemed to fit. But since her sire (dad) is named Nik Nak, I couldn’t resist a better name than Nik Nak’s Riff Raff - and boy does she live up to it. She’s a spunky girl who had her first cria, Ralf, this spring and is proving to be an exceptional mother. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbedf7c18f72258ac6d403a/1594226587595-ZAG7OQV5IUZHFVT8PXZ6/alpaca+in+the+field Old Homestead Alpacas - blog - Meet the herd - the girls! - SUGAR I have a whole story about this girl that is best told in person (and over a beer) but let’s just say…Sugar is special. She’s more vinegar than sugar, but beneath the fear and her checkered past is a solid mom with a heart of gold … and a dash of sugar. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbedf7c18f72258ac6d403a/1594226743276-748N4AJ8ZDDE91XC6TQC/soft+white+alpaca Old Homestead Alpacas - blog - Meet the herd - the girls! - HOOSIER She is currently the only offspring of Sugar … and just like her mom … there’s a bit of a story there, too. The easiest way to put it is, we didn’t know Hoosier was coming until the very day she was born! Named in homage to my native state of Indiana and the land of hoosiers, she has the finest (softest) fleece in the whole herd, making her an all around pleasant surprise. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbedf7c18f72258ac6d403a/1594226839627-1DCSOH1V56DFQX4REINB/big+brown+alpaca Old Homestead Alpacas - blog - Meet the herd - the girls! - SOFIA Sofia is our resident tough gal. If there’s a spat happening, no doubt Sofia is part of it. Let’s just say, she has strong opinions about … everything. But Sofia gave birth to the very first cria born on our farm, so she will always hold a special place in my shepherdess heart. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbedf7c18f72258ac6d403a/1594226946354-9BZQGIXYQFZIFUBNXG4K/black+alpaca Old Homestead Alpacas - blog - Meet the herd - the girls! - INDY She was the first cria born on our farm, and is the polar opposite of her mom, Sofia, when it comes to disposition. She is mellow, trusting and pretty easy going. She is named after the capitol of Indiana so its no surprise she is a natural when it comes to Hoosier hospitality. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbedf7c18f72258ac6d403a/1594227063680-85AOAJO6M0SFJWVU9YRE/fuzzy+face+alpaca Old Homestead Alpacas - blog - Meet the herd - the girls! - SCOUT She was the very last offspring from Sofia. I named her Scout because she always seemed to be on the hunt for trouble. To this day, I still swear that she once managed to open a fully closed gate. I can’t confirm it but if there’s mischief to be had, Scout is always in the thick of it. She is also our resident PR (Public Relations) Alpaca. When I tell farm guests that our alpacas don’t not appreciate being pet or touched, Scout is quick to prove me wrong. She is almost always up for a neck rub and on a few occasions has even sat down for a full on snuggle! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbedf7c18f72258ac6d403a/1594228363583-3G4R69A7MZ6RV23ZDAV0/lounging+alpaca Old Homestead Alpacas - blog - Meet the herd - the girls! - BEANS Technically, her pedigree name is La La Chanel, but that seemed too fancy for this goofball. She arrived on our farm when she was just a few months old, and for the first full year she squinted her eyes all the time. I joked that she looked perpetually tired, and maybe just needed a coffee. Or a latte. A vanilla bean latte to match her creamy vanilla fleece. And since Vanilla Bean Latte was a mouthful, she just became known as Beans. And as you can see, Beans is just as chill as ever. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbedf7c18f72258ac6d403a/1594227419612-B88IKLD9DL8B0DO6A5AR/mama+and+baby+alpaca+kiss Old Homestead Alpacas - blog - Meet the herd - the girls! - DEMI DAMMROSE A half sister to Scout, Demi is an old soul who proved to be the hardiest in the bunch when she & her cria survived a very rare c-section. We included Dammrose in her name, paying homage to the Dammrose family that lived on this farm in the 1930’s when it was the Dammrose Dairy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbedf7c18f72258ac6d403a/1594227700678-TIZJDUZAEEOP8QLEP3EQ/baby+alpaca+in+pasture+at+sunset Old Homestead Alpacas - blog - Meet the herd - the girls! - RBG Ruthie She really deserves a post all on her own, having been born to Demi via c-section in May 2020. She is a tough little gal, just like Ruth Bader Ginsberg. She shares her initials with the notorious Supreme Court Justice because of the all-female crew that made her birthday a triumphant one. And since she continues to be Raised By Girls, it seemed fitting. Ruthie’s very presence on our farm is a daily reminder to be courageous and brave, and to keep pushing forward even in the light of uncertainty. She personifies every feeling and every hope of her 2020 birth year. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbedf7c18f72258ac6d403a/1594229443609-S0XH0ITW8MCN1ON4YPO5/llama+laying+in+barn Old Homestead Alpacas - blog - Meet the herd - the girls! - LORETTA Although technically a llama, Loretta is the backbone of our herd and an integral part of our farm’s origin story. When we purchased the homestead in 2013, we were told that she and her late companion, LeRoi, “came with the place.” And since we were unfamiliar with caring for llama, we got on the internet … and that’s how we discovered llamas were related to alpacas … and there was an alpaca farm down the road in Touchet … where we would ultimately purchase our first couple alpaca. If we hadn’t met Loretta, there would be no Old Homestead Alpacas. She is loved and adored by all who meet her. https://www.oldhomesteadalpacas.com/blog/rbg monthly 0.5 2021-05-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbedf7c18f72258ac6d403a/1601925524381-U0HMYYWRMFZU72P61YVC/baby+alpaca+at+sunset Old Homestead Alpacas -

blog - Knitwear Care - Thoughts on soap I prefer one made specifically formulated for woolens, because they’re gentle and most do not require rinsing. They’re not expensive, especially in relation to your knitwear investment. Plus, a little goes a long way — I’ve had these bottles for several years. But in a pinch, a squirt of dishwashing soap will do. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbedf7c18f72258ac6d403a/1578517234589-97FIS1X1D5UDHGAO8JX6/basin+filled+with+water Old Homestead Alpacas - blog - Knitwear Care - Submerge your garments Be gentle & take your time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbedf7c18f72258ac6d403a/1578517329510-JW4TX8E706YFBC7D8M6Q/washing+clothes+in+a+basin Old Homestead Alpacas - blog - Knitwear Care - Alpaca is naturally water repellant The water beads off of it, as you can see here. Even when fully submerged for several minutes, the inside can still be bone dry. This feature is super handy while you (or the alpaca) is wearing it, but it means a little extra patience is necessary when washing. While submerging, gently squeeze. This helps push out air between the stitches. Or you can just wait until the garment absorbs on its own. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbedf7c18f72258ac6d403a/1579445578912-N01RBUC3JX6JC54R5ESF/hats+and+gloves Old Homestead Alpacas - blog - Knitwear Care - Lay on a clean, dry towel This is not a required step, but it will significantly speed overall drying time. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbedf7c18f72258ac6d403a/1579445640672-3UOFOA82FIJ4BQO8I37B/hats+and+gloves Old Homestead Alpacas - blog - Knitwear Care - Gently roll & press The towel will absorb moisture from the garments. This method is the safer alternative to wringing, which can distort and damage stitches. Repeat on another dry towel if you like. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbedf7c18f72258ac6d403a/1579446037699-7KOD3DYQZ1O7UB1FIDZQ/hats+and+gloves+on+a+drying+rack Old Homestead Alpacas - blog - Knitwear Care - Lay flat to dry Even a garment that has been rolled & squeezed still has residual water weight. If hung to dry, this can cause the garment to stretch permanently. Instead, find a dry flat surface. I use a sweater dryer because it elevates the garment, allowing for better air circulation and faster drying. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbedf7c18f72258ac6d403a/1579449455675-5IB29FV9RA2YBM0XOCS5/selfie+with+pink+hat+and+gloves Old Homestead Alpacas - blog - Knitwear Care - ‘Two’ recap— Hand wash & lay flat to dry https://www.oldhomesteadalpacas.com/blog/unpacking-alpaca monthly 0.5 2023-04-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbedf7c18f72258ac6d403a/1577115871853-AOS8XNKZZ98SQPJEID7F/IMG_2223.jpg Old Homestead Alpacas - blog - Baby Watch 2020 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbedf7c18f72258ac6d403a/1578421481873-BHLQE7NX53OTAERP4HJ4/IMG_7005.JPG Old Homestead Alpacas - blog - Baby Watch 2020 Sofia was the first dam to give birth on our farm.

about us - Are you looking for quality cold weather wear that will work with your existing wardrobe? Do you appreciate pieces that are as stylish as they are warm? Tired of buying clothes the only last one season before they end up in the donation pile…or the trash? At Old Homestead Alpacas, we mindfully raise a herd of alpaca who produce the softest, warmest natural fiber around. Their fiber is grown, harvested and milled to create the most sustainable garments for your head, neck, hands and home. Each piece is made possible through a collective effort of small American businesses, many of which are right here in our community. When you invest in a piece, you wrap yourself in everlasting warmth, while helping to preserve our rural heritage for years to come. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbedf7c18f72258ac6d403a/1605807755585-V1APISQU2FEIVJN6JZ4I/1472969_10151852935933940_634799510_n-2.jpg Old Homestead Alpacas - about us - Mike & Elaine Vandiver We purchased our 10-acre property in late 2013 as a way to start anew after learning a traditional family wasn’t in the cards for us. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbedf7c18f72258ac6d403a/1605807829787-HTT4WJFEKKLZCKFC6JTO/1503419_10151885134563940_1433239109_n.jpg Old Homestead Alpacas - about us Picking an old house with acreage on the outskirts of town was a deliberate move. In order for me to truly find acceptance with the reality that we could not have children, I needed to be in a place that encouraged it. And that place was definitely not the subdivision filled with growing families that we were currently living in. The property out on the State Line with ten acres seemed sufficient. It had a big old red barn that reminded me of the ones I saw growing up in Indiana, along with a handful of funky old outbuildings. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbedf7c18f72258ac6d403a/1605824044985-4MA2UZ6EQMMNNJ8QTCUB/IMG_3264.JPG Old Homestead Alpacas - about us And of course, the farmhouse. A two-story folk Victorian number, with a wraparound porch. The whole place had charm, potential and good bones. If you could look past the peeling paint & tatters of time. In other words, it was a lot like us. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbedf7c18f72258ac6d403a/1605807854812-M7HZWIJCFG2D1UZE460P/1500889_10151861153503940_1197938610_o.jpg Old Homestead Alpacas - about us The seller told us that it was “an old homestead” and that “those two llama come with the place”. As city kids, we were unfamiliar with both homesteads and llamas. But we were in a place in life where we weren’t going to questions things. And after 7 years of unsuccessful infertility treatments, I just didn’t have much fight left in me. So a homestead with llamas it was. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbedf7c18f72258ac6d403a/1605812134523-IZPWME9XDF7OL6PEEOZP/PresidentGrant.png Old Homestead Alpacas - about us In the late evenings, we would often look over those old homestead documents that the seller left for us. They outlined how a man from Iowa named Nathaniel S. Gholson spent five years from 1870 - 1875 settling & improving the land in order to own it. It was impressive to read, and fitting to learn of the heritage while we worked tirelessly renovating the farmhouse. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbedf7c18f72258ac6d403a/1605812247929-JUFIFV46QMFAPKUSRQTP/image-asset.jpeg Old Homestead Alpacas - about us The parts of the home we were repairing were added mid-century when the house got indoor plumbing and heating. All the old bits of the house were fine. Solid, actually. We discovered the walls were constructed entirely of rough hewn lumber, 2 inches thick in most places - and have saw marks from its originally milling, which was likely done onsite. The original pine floors, once refinished, confirmed they were built for this specific house as every plank runs the entire span of each room. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbedf7c18f72258ac6d403a/1605809372229-K3ASXNTL7CTZV53K3GRK/image-asset.jpeg Old Homestead Alpacas - about us The first spring arrived and the pastures quickly sprang to life. And those two rough-around-the-edges llama, named LeRoi & Loretta by the way, well they could not keep up with the grass. It didn’t take long before the pastures had grown into a glorious sea of green. But with all our resources tied into farmhouse renovations, we couldn’t exactly get a tractor. So naturally, we got the next best thing: alpaca. You know . . . the cute, smaller, softer version of llamas. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbedf7c18f72258ac6d403a/1605824449580-7MNGSB9GBSD55USSG3KH/IMG_5978.jpg Old Homestead Alpacas - about us They were supposed to be nothing more than cute little lawnmowers. And they were. But it sorta took a whole gaggle of them to keep up with the grass. And then they needed to be shorn. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbedf7c18f72258ac6d403a/1605824871756-HG6RCEDQJ8H4NMWEP1XC/IMG_4947.JPG Old Homestead Alpacas - about us And that pile of raw fleece had to go somewhere. Ultimately, I started having it professionally spun into yarn . . . https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbedf7c18f72258ac6d403a/1606270986050-MZWK12V4I2LS3FHOQ9HV/IMG_5196.JPG Old Homestead Alpacas - about us …and that’s kind of how I launched our farm business, in a nutshell. But it doesn’t exactly end there, that is truly just the beginning… https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbedf7c18f72258ac6d403a/1605809732222-Y52QX4SUU94GMOVAFXC9/OHA+2019+yarn.JPG Old Homestead Alpacas - about us With a herd of white, brown and black alpaca, I craved more vibrant colors. The vast majority of dyes available were acid-based and had somewhat scary handling & disposal requirements. I didn’t like the idea of putting acid on the ultra soft, extra fine fiber. And I certainly didn’t like the idea of disposing of it in our septic system which ultimately returns to the land. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbedf7c18f72258ac6d403a/1605888572931-D35E7MEJHRDF1IDEQZ98/IMG_1457.JPG Old Homestead Alpacas - about us That’s what lead me to discover natural dyeing - using plant based dyes. I descended quickly into the beautiful rabbit hole of heirloom plants & flowers that produce light & color-fast dyes. I had an old paddock alongside the farmhouse that wasn’t being used. So I bought seed for marigold, coreopsis, dyer’s chamomile, sulfur cosmos and madder root and called it a garden. I was growing the fiber and the dye stuff. And I was selling yarn and machine knit garments - all using our herd’s fiber. It was fantastic. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbedf7c18f72258ac6d403a/1605811311670-J1DXRDGXLMZ0ACPUEQQF/IMG_9813.JPG Old Homestead Alpacas - about us But I was a 5 o’clock farmer. Both Mike and I had day jobs to pay the mortgage and bankroll the renovations. By the 4th year having the farm and the little business, it was getting harder & harder to go to a cubicle every day. Leaving the herd and this little slice of heaven everyday was not easy. If only I could do this full time . . . https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbedf7c18f72258ac6d403a/1605810007148-R2U7J38BNAFEFO1NND1M/IMG_7966.JPG Old Homestead Alpacas - about us But the reality of fiber farming is that it is inherently a long-lead process. Our herd takes a full year to grow the fiber. After it is shorn each year, it takes about another 8 months to get it spun at an artisan fiber mill. A couple more months for the machine knitter to produce the garments. Then I need a few months to hand dye it all. On average, that means it takes 2 years to bring one fiber harvest to market. That’s a long time to leverage, considering there are costs all along the way. It seemed nearly impossible to ever leave the day job with a plan like that. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbedf7c18f72258ac6d403a/1605809289353-Z094LPYS0MSTWJTBA4ED/IMG_1693+2.JPG Old Homestead Alpacas - about us One spring while starting seeds in my greenhouse, I had an idea. What if I just start selling some flowers? After all, I was already growing dye flowers - why not try a few varieties for cutting? An annual crop with a comparatively lower price point seemed like a good fit. So in the summer of 2017, I grew 100 row feet of zinnia, cosmos, sunflowers and celosia. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbedf7c18f72258ac6d403a/1605809246239-8LR33DRBBA323W1IFPAT/IMG_8344.JPG Old Homestead Alpacas - about us I mostly watched them grow & brought them in the house for my own enjoyment. As the summer went on, the more I cut, the more they produced. So I started to take some into the office. I put a vase on my desk. Then I added another one by the printer so everyone could enjoy. I dabbled in ‘arranging’ by making posy bouquets for the ladies’ room - and those were always a big hit. Growing cut flowers alongside the alpacas was simply beautiful and it taught me so much. It slowed me down, but also put more purpose in each step. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbedf7c18f72258ac6d403a/1605809926181-0AKKCGO1MF77MWSGYBXP/154206023561705381.jpeg Old Homestead Alpacas - about us At the beginning of 2018, I got the nerve up and asked my boss if I could switch from full time to part time. Surprisingly, she said yes, and the schedule change allowed me to tend to the garden, cut flowers during the weekday mornings so I could ultimately attend the Saturday farmer’s market. That first year at market was my bravest year (currently) on record. Using a truck-bed trailer that Mike and I fashioned to become a flower cart - I toted it to market and set up next to real farmers. I named the operation Gholson Gardens, paying homage to the original homestead family. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbedf7c18f72258ac6d403a/1605810069442-Z3RJOOTP8XCTI82BWROA/1q.JPG Old Homestead Alpacas - about us I sold more bouquets in 2018 than I ever thought I could even grow! Towards the end of market season, I was hesitant to introduce some of my freshly dyed alpaca goods alongside the flowers fearing it would be ‘too weird’ from a branding perspective and/or people just ‘wouldn’t get it’. Turns out it wasn’t weird and people definitely got it! In fact, I sold more yarn & knitwear in the last month of the market than I had over the last 3 years combined! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbedf7c18f72258ac6d403a/1605810625329-AHIGEMBIE6JNPAYO63Y9/IMG_1060.JPG Old Homestead Alpacas - about us From an operational perspective, diversifying with cut flowers has infused a beautiful synergy across my entire farm . . . Spring is all about seeding annual flowers and harvesting the alpacas fiber. Summer is about growing & selling flowers, while the alpacas work on growing their fleece. At the end of summer and as fall sets in, the yarn and knitwear returns from the mill. With flowers coming out of season, I spend less time in the garden, with most of my days spent in the old milking parlor-turned dye studio getting it all dyed up - using the dye flowers I dried, froze & stashed all summer. In early fall, I release the Harvest Knitwear Collection online as well as at local farmer’s markets. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbedf7c18f72258ac6d403a/1605811129802-7ZAC4PE5J0PATLCD9W5H/IMG_1334.JPG Old Homestead Alpacas - about us The winter is my time to recharge. Apart from feeding the herd and stock piling their manure to become the primary amendment to the cutting gardens in spring, I spend time reconnecting, knitting, planning & storing energy for the coming year. No one day is like another, and every season varies from the next. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbedf7c18f72258ac6d403a/1605810276511-MSAX4BDO7D42R6BPV5M4/elaine_mike_117.jpg Old Homestead Alpacas - about us It’s a beautiful rhythm. It has made me not only appreciate seasonality, but embrace it wholeheartedly. Everyday I’m filled with gratitude for a life that has sprung from such heartache. I endeavor to approach all my days with the same honest receptivity that lead me here in the first place. And since leaving the day job entirely in the spring of 2019, I’m grateful at the opportunity to be dedicating all of my days to building our own version of a family & legacy right here on the homestead. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbedf7c18f72258ac6d403a/1605810890834-NL5W1FQGM8CYE62GPS25/IMG_7537.JPG Old Homestead Alpacas - about us https://www.oldhomesteadalpacas.com/knitwear daily 0.75 2026-01-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbedf7c18f72258ac6d403a/1657461124964-HT6Y1I2LF5MOTX2JXM5V/IMG_4598.JPG The Collection https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbedf7c18f72258ac6d403a/1657461439964-5G5PSN1DQJYS4NRJVAUK/IMG_2780.JPG The Collection https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbedf7c18f72258ac6d403a/1657461762548-CZDS2VVSIY2ZH7KEY83B/IMG_4477.JPG The Collection https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbedf7c18f72258ac6d403a/1657463377265-AC6HWTB1Y09UUMVRY7F7/IMG_0425.jpg The Collection https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbedf7c18f72258ac6d403a/1657463445530-9ODWV8JWY6HPU3BTTCVW/IMG_8990.JPG The Collection https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbedf7c18f72258ac6d403a/267f908e-0b0a-4dd0-bcbc-1d09df718e19/IMG_4124.JPG The Collection https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbedf7c18f72258ac6d403a/7e659918-df8a-453f-94e9-fa2db1eeb3e9/IMG_4458.jpg The Collection Two alpacas sitting on grass near a barn, with one adult and one baby alpaca. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dbedf7c18f72258ac6d403a/e4c530f2-d476-448f-992e-8eddcf5648d3/IMG_8572.jpg The Collection Person wearing a mustard yellow beanie, a red scarf, and mustard yellow fingerless gloves.

existing wardrobe? Do you appreciate pieces that are as stylish as they are warm? Tired of buying clothes the only last one season before they end up in the donation pile…or the trash? At Old Homestead Alpacas, we mindfully raise a herd of alpaca who produce the softest, warmest natural fiber around. Their fiber is grown, harvested and milled to create the most sustainable garments for your head, neck, hands and home. Each piece is made possible through a collective effort of small American businesses, many of which are right here in our community. When you invest in a piece, you wrap yourself in everlasting warmth, while helping to preserve our rural heritage for years to come. https://www.oldhomesteadalpacas.com/experience daily 0.75
