The beginning

I'm starting this blog to chronicle my search for wool and yarn in South America in the course of my time working here. I'm living in Quito, working for an international humanitarian organization, and I knit. I know, I'm in wool and alpaca heaven! But, finding yarn to knit with isn't as easy as it seems it would be. So, I've decided to hunt it down and provide you with the stories, tips, contacts, and wool/alpaca-industry info I find out in the course of my travels.

I hope that you all like it. Send me questions and information that you might have. I hope that you and I both find this blog to be a good resource, and an entertaining read.
