<p>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 <a href="https://eastangliaalpacamill.co.uk/">East Anglia Alpaca Mill</a> in England to complete the processing for me.&nbsp;</p>



<p>All of the rovings arrived back with me a week or so ago, and I have started to spin.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Here are some photos of the process:</p>
