A tree change spectacular: Alpacas spring alive at colourbrations

摘要

Now in its fifth year, the Alpaca Colourbration event is truly unique to the world of alpaca fibre and is different from every other alpaca show. "The name 'Colourbration' is derived from the words 'Colour' and 'Celebration'," says Show Convenor Deborah Patti. "Alpaca Colourbration is truly a celebration of colour with alpacas of all colours being represented in 12 separate coloured animal shows and 11 separate coloured fleece shows combining to make a truly spectacular event." There are 22 registered natural colours that alpacas come in ranging from white through the shades of fawns to browns, greys and true 'blue' blacks. Then there are all the different shades within the recognised colour groups.
