AirCrafting's Alpaca Herd

AirCrafting promotes aviation and aerospace inspired creative projects. Every now and again however, we get inspired by things on the ground One of those things are alpacas.


We love the crimpy camelids, and we are fortunate to have a farm nearby where we can go and hang with them. They even let us hum along if we are in the paddock.

This our friend Amy Kung-Oliver she and her husband Eric Berg own Nuevo Norte, in Colborne Ontario.

Amy is a fibre fanatic and Eric is a "closet knitter." (It's 2013 Eric, time to come out!) 

Their farm is where we get all the fabulous felt and colourful rovings that we use in our Rocket Square kits. (More about those later.)

We love Nuevo Norte and we miss the alpacas so much when we are back in the city, that we had to needle felt our own herd. 

The felted ones don't hum nor do they have have soft lips that will nibble us to sleep at night but they are fun to make and a great summer project.
