Barbara cuts and shears Suri Llama and Huacaya Alpaca hide pieces for the pendants hanging from crocheted vegetal dyed 2ply silk cords and braided waxed linen, silk threads, and unwaxed linen cords. These animals are bred for their hair spun into yarn, and the hides only become available when an animal dies of natural causes. Repurposing hides gives new life to these beautiful animals.
