Welcome to Cobblestone Alpacas!

Discover the AMAZING world of Fiber!

We are a family owned and operated small business located in the Finger Lakes region of New York.

Cobblestone Alpacas, previously known as Bubbles ‘n Stitches, started in 2015 as a creative outlet for Ashli. Since then, I’ve learned so much about the fiber world and have grown from only selling hand woven scarves and knitted fingerless gloves to selling all sorts of handmade fiber products, writing and publishing pattern books, and dabbling in cold process soaps, lotion bars, and candles.

In 2020, my life changed dramatically for the better. I married my partner and number one fan, Bret, and we expanded our family to three. We welcomed a daughter, who we absolutely adore. While the world shut down, we were given the chance to just be parents and enjoy our bundle of joy. With festivals opening up once again, we have begun to plan for an awesome selling season.

The break in festivals helped us take a step back and re-access what we want to accomplish with Cobblestone Alpacas. With Bret’s help, I have renewed my passion for everything fiber and natural products.

In 2022, I began learning more about sustainability and living a no waste life style. I have become a firm believer in the Soil to Soil project created by a company named FiberShed. By 2024, Cobblestone Alpacas will convert from store bought yarns to 100% locally sourced yarns and fabrics to create product with. This new direction means I will be phasing out environmentally harmful yarns including acrylic, polyester, rayon, and other heavily petroleum produced yarns. Instead, Cobblestone Alpacas will embrace alpaca, sheep wool, cotton, linen, yak, quivet, angora, cashmere, and more natural fibers to create beautiful items with.

Be sure to check out my calendar and come visit at my festivals this year!
