I am new to Blogs. First attempt ever.
We are natives of Kent Ohio and in the history of Kent is the "Alpaca Mill" in the early 1900s. We find all kinds of information related to the financing and construction of the mill, but nothing about what they really made there. We assume they made yarn and maybe material, but did they really use alpaca fiber and if so where did they obtain it?
If you can enlighten us regarding the history of "Alpaca Mills" in this country, we would appreciate it.
We have become interested in Alpacas after seeing them at fairs etc and recently visited an Alpaca farm here in NE Ohio just to see the guys. We are retired in a condominium development so are not good candidates for having one as a pet. I was fortunate to get what I think is a good photo and if you would like to see it let me know.
I'm sorry I don't have any information on the history of alpaca mills and I'm not familiar with the mill in Kent. Very interesting though that it was called an alpaca mill. I'm not sure where they would have obtained the fiber unless they imported raw alpaca fiber from Peru.
I would love to see your photo... I never get enough of the alpacas. They are so sweet and precious. :)

Dear John,

Thanks so much for sharing,
