Cameron County Farmers Market
The next vendor we would like to welcome to the market is the talented Teresa Genaux from Alpaca Creations.
Teresa is a veteran of craft shows and farmers markets in the area and has been a fountain of valuable information and advice for us as we learn and grow our market.
Teresa specialises in Alpaca wool, creating beautiful, wearable, hand-knit designs including hats, scarves, gloves and head bands. She also has a big variety of alpaca wool socks, lots of natural and hand dyed yarns of different weights, boot inserts, dryer balls and more.
T
eresa uses wool harvested from the family pack of alpacas housed and cared for by her daughter Robin Kuleck at the Little Red Barn Farm. These adorable creatures produce incredibly soft and warm wool that is a real pleasure to wear. Fun fact: alpaca wool is warmer than normal sheep’s wool because of the extra hollow space in the fiber which allows it to fill with warm air and so provides extra warmth. Trust me, you can feel the difference!
Teresa dyes her own wool, creating some stunning colours, so if you are interested in trying your hand at knitting, pick up some of her yarns, you will fall in love with their softness and warmth!
Teresa has a busy schedule, attending many markets in the area, but we are very excited to have recruited her for our August 13th market! Come and visit us at the Emporium Town Square, 9am to 1pm, to stock up for your winter projects and Christmas gifts!
We are delighted to welcome Teresa to our market!
