Why you ask? Mainly so I can hug it. One of my single goals in life is to hug as many animal species as possible. As of right now, I have barely made it past hugging dogs, cats and guinea pigs although there is a donkey hug in my future courtesy of one of my co-workers who owns donkeys! But I digress.... Not only do I want to *hug* a llama but I want to harvest it's wool. I am obsessed with knitting and obsessed with llamas. How cool would it be to knit with wool that came from your own llama?! My boyfriend, JJ, bought me a drop spindle to spin yarn a few years ago. I have yet to learn to use it but if I had my very own llama wool to use you can bet I'd learn in a jiffy! (If anyone knows someone who can teach me how to use the drop spindle, please let me know. I'm happy to learn sooner rather than later.)
I have done my research too! Llamas are social animals and do better in groups of 2 or more so I'd HAVE to get a leat two llamas. Double the llama fun! I know llamas are a lot of work. That's why I have JJ. He doesn't know it yet but in the future, he will be known as JJ the Llama Farmer. (JTLF for short) People always ask where I plan to keep the llamas - in the east wing of course! Don't worry, they will have their own air filtration system so as not to interfere with the rest of the household. As for the smell, I'll be buying stock in Febreeze. Llamas are made of natural fibers and therefore Febreeze-able.
In the mean time, I will pine away for my llama family and start looking for some land to build my llama-friendly home. I'll keep waiting for the day when I can knit with yarn spun from my very own llama wool. *sigh*
