Pender Island alpaca, llama sanctuary turn wool into yarn
Hinterland farm. Hanahlie Beise took an accidental interest in alpacas. An avid knitter, she’d find herself at farmers’ markets or other farms while travelling, searching for the perfect yarn.
Currently, they have 12 alpacas, one llama and four sheep. They’re also breeding a small flock of Bluefaced Leicester sheep, which provide soft and silky wool. “[My eldest] was telling his teachers today at preschool about the sheep having babies. It’s fascinating listening to him describe the birth. He’s watched all the animals be born, describing it step by step.”
When her kids are a bit older, Beise plans to build her own mill where she can process everything herself.
