Merlots coloring is stunning. She glows red when the sun hits her. Her color is a purple/reddish brown. This is amazing considering she is from 2 fawn parents. Her fleece is extremely dense, and has incredible handle. Hand spinners love her fleece. 2003 she sheared 7.1 lbs total and 2.9 blanket. Her neck fiber is so fine and long that I have it made into yarn just like the blanket. She probably could have sheared more but she was extremely difficult to shear this year. Hormonal I would guess since she was shorn 1 week after giving birth.

She is a very good mother with plenty of milk. Sienna has gained almost 1 lb a day since birth. She is bred to Erik the Red, a Grandson to the Highest selling male alpaca Royal Fawn for a June 2006 cria.
