I enjoy handspinning & dyeing, and using yarns in knitting, handloom and inkle weaving.

Drying fleece in the summer sunshine
Today, I washed some alpaca. I have three full fleece, around 1 kg each, and I'm washing just the amount I think I can get dried each day. As the weather is good today I washed a couple of trays full, and put them out in the sun.
You are not getting them back, you know.
ReplyDeleteBut the Alpaca goes better with her fur!
ReplyDeleteIf I found an Alpaca fleece drying in the sun, I'm not sure *I* wouldn't just curl up in it and go to sleep.
(Nice to get a peep at your cats and garden and lovely fiber.)
