Help support Paws for Humanity – a non profit organization providing sanctuary and support for animals and people alike… allowing for each to heal the other.
We are Beth and Dale Welling, and our dream is coming true… to either foster/rehab or adopt animals who fall outside the typical parameters of shelters and rescues and to train animals showing the abilities and desire to work in different ways in community with people.
We are in the process of obtaining our 501 c3 status to provide educational, therapeutic, and support programs for individuals and groups in real life connection with animals. We have the property… we have some animals… we now need to build a working barn with an arena and offices, and build a staff of 2 and 4 legged helpers!
Our kickoff fundraising effort is to sell the fiber of our beautiful Alpaca family. They are our first sanctuary adoption, and are amazing creatures! Their fleece is softer than wool, hypoallergenic, and is spun to create some of the best exotic animal yarn around.
We started with our Suri Alpaca. Their fiber is usually longer and silky like hair. We have an off white/cream blend, an oatmeal blend, and a small amount of a light brown blend (tan and white) often referred to as fawn. It is blended with 20% polwarth wool to keep some elasticity in the final product.
We also have medium sized dryer balls, which are also hypoallergenic, help prevent static cling, and assist in your clothes drying without wrinkling. In addition to your own use… they make great stocking stuffers and hostess gifts! 😉
Look over our options below and email your order to bethb@att.net We hope to deliver to all in our area, but if we mail your order, there will be a shipping charge added.

We are processing our Huacaya fleece over the winter months and will have yarn available in black, dark grey, light grey, dark brown, and beige with brown or black threads. We are blending this batch with 25% Merino wool… so the yarn will not only be soft but fluffier than our Suri for a thicker product.
Please let us know if you would like to be added to our mailing list for future updates of yarn and/or Paws for Humanity. We are working on coordinating donations/purchases through our website… but for now, please email bethb@att.net. Thank you!
