Cameron County Farmers Market
We are excited to welcome Teresa Genaux with Alpaca Creations back to the market again this weekend.
Teresa specializes 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.
Teresa 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 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 colors, 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!
You can find Teresa and all our amazing vendors at the market this Saturday, 8 July at the Emporium Town Square, 9am to 12pm.
