QUITE A Yarn By Melissa Walsh
A
lasdair Chew grew up around animals. The son of a large animal veterinarian in Scotland, the young lad always enjoyed talking to his father about his vocation but never expected to work so closely with animals until he came to Australia in 1995. Now Alasdair and his wife, Belinda, run one of the first alpaca farms in Victoria with a thriving factory shop and mill, and have done so for the past 23 years. Wool2Yarn uses wool from their alpacas on a farm in the Otways and has a factory shop and mill right here in Mornington.
