Abby and I helped out on a local farm shearing baby al
pacas. The tips of their fiber gets damaged during birth so it must be sheared off so new health fiber will grow and make for a wonderful soft, squishy yarn. The fiber length is longer than sheep wool so is a dream to spin. It dose have crimp, but dose not have lanolin in the fiber. Alpacas don't secrete lanolin so after a quick wash it is very clean and has no smell. When I mix my angoras with their fiber I get a warm luxuries yarn that's hard to beat. After angora my favorite is alpaca which I hope to have a few some day. Abby is a naturel when it comes to these animals.
