Working with Alpaca Wool

 

I have been working with alpaca wool for many years now, but, a number of clients asked me to spin their own alpaca’s fleeces for them over the last few months. As it takes such a lot of time and work to clean and card fleeces ready for spinning, I sent them to the East Anglia Alpaca Mill in England to complete the processing for me. 

All of the rovings arrived back with me a week or so ago, and I have started to spin. 

Here are some photos of the process:
