Sunnyhill Alpacas and Twisted Sisters Mill Tour

Aug. 17, 2024 to Aug. 18, 2024

Part of: Alberta Open Farm Days

Sunnyhill Alpacas
Ages 12+
More Information
Organized by: Sunnyhill Alpacas

On the tour, you can expect fresh air, to see alpacas in their natural environment, a mill tour, hand spinning and weaving demos, a marketplace full of alpaca yarn and finished products, and a sense of what alpaca farming is all about.

When visiting the farm, you will see alpaca moms (dams), alpaca dads (sires), and their beautiful babies (cria). They might be racing around the pen or enjoying an afternoon nap, regardless you will love them. Sunnyhill likes to keep their alpacas calm and stress-free; visitors are not allowed in the pen. **No dogs allowed (alpacas are terrified of strange dogs)**

Alpaca fleece is the perfect fleece for making cozy yarn. Yes, you read right. Alpaca yarn is super soft and naturally hypoallergenic.
Twisted Sisters Mill takes the annual shearing from Sunnyhill and produces the yarn right here on the farm. 100% local natural product.

Renee Henry co-owner of the Twisted Sisters, will provide mill tours.

On the tour, you will see and learn how this amazing exotic fibre is turned into beautiful yarn and rovings.  Mill Tours will be once per hour each day:

Saturday 10:30, 11:30, 12:30, 1:30 and 2:30. 

Sunday 11:30, 12:30, 1:30 and 2:30. 

You must be 12 years of age to go on the tour. We are asking for a donation – cash only that will be donated to the food bank.
