2010 - This year’s Lamafest and Alpaca Showcase Fiber Show has three categories in which to display your best fiber
and fiber products including: Fleece, Handspun Skein, and Walking Fleece.
The llama fleece classes will be judged for ALSA and ILR points. Maryan Baker will be our judge for full llama
fleeces, and llama walking fleece, and Deb Yeagle will judge 2 oz. llama and alpaca fleeces. Anthony Stachowski will
judge alpaca walking fleece.
FULL FLEECE
All entries must be sheared within 2 years of the date of the show, please submit at least a 2 oz. sample of the
fleece. All age references are the age at time of shearing. There will be 3 llama fiber divisions: single coat,
double coat, and suri. There will be 2 llama age categories: up to 24 months, and 24 months and older. Classes may be
combined at judge’s discretion. Please refer to page 98-99 in the 15th edition of the ALSA Handbook for fleece
preparation information. This is an optional ALSA class, and will not earn points. Those wishing to bring a full
fleece may bring them to the show for judging. The 2 oz. sample fleeces will be pre judged, and should be mailed to
Tina Etter by Aug. 20, 2010.
Alpaca fleeces will be suri or huacaya with 3 age divisions, 5-12 months, 12-24 months, and 24 months and older.
There will be a minimum of 4 color classes (dark solid, medium solid, light solid, gray/mixed) and further color
divisions will be made as entries warrant at the judge’s discretion. This will be an ALSA show. These fleeces will be
pre judged, and should be mailed to Kevin Sullivan by Aug. 20, 2010
Each entry must include the following information: copy of registration certificate, accurate date of shearing,
accurate date of previous shearing, gender, owner identification and birth date of animal. Please submit completed
