I don't believe it!

I've just been to the Mariah Hill site, linked from Barbaras blog - alpaca fibre is being used to soak up oil from the spill in the gulf of Mexico - I checked whether it was April 1st today - on closer reading it does say they are using some of the fibre, so presumably only the poor quality bits. Interesting all the same.

  3. I don't know if this is the same link as you followed from Barbera's blog, but just saw this on BBC news website which mentions alpaca fur at the end: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/8672124.stm

  4. It's all over Facebook, appeals for thirds. Many breeders are sending it.
