Huh? If you're curious about what Camelids are, and you'd like to get up close and personal with one, then you're in luck this Sunday. The Rosehaven Alpaca Festival at Bethel Woods will be overflowing with these lovely, long-necked South American natives. They produce the "fiber of the gods," soft and hypoallergenic, so anyone can wear it. 

Kathryn, of Huzzah! Unique Handmade Wearables, feels right at home at this event. She'll be featuring a wide selection of her hand knit accessories, using only the finest fibers, including alpaca.
