I received a box of animal friendly fibers from http://www.homesteadwoolandgiftfarm.com today. I can’t wait to spin them up. I plan on dyeing some of those coopworth locks in bright colors to blend with the alpaca once it is washed.
There is one pound of unwashed suri alpaca, 4 ounces of a mix of merino cross that has been dyed green, and 8 ounces of washed coopworth wool some of which is still in locks! On the left of the bag of alpaca is a small amount of alpaca that I washed to show what color it will be once it is cleaned.
Unfortunately this weekend has been very busy, and will be busy tomorrow too (husband’s grandfather’s 80th birthday), so I might not get to actually make anything for a few days 😦
