Tom Olson of Fevolden Farm Alpacas in Cottage Grove can be found at most festivals featuring animal fibers. He and his family raise alpacas for fiber and turn those fibers into products for crafts or fashion. They have been in the business for over 20 years and work with different co-ops and suppliers to keep up with demand. He says alpaca fiber is a sought out alternative to sheep's wool because it is easier to clean and less irritating to the skin for some folks.
