We have had a great day sorting through our alpaca fleece today. I cannot believe how much work goes into this. Today and tomorrow we are separating colours, weighing them and making sure that all vegetable matter is removed. Once this has been done we will be sending some off to be processed at a mini mill and the rest will be processed on the farm by local spinners.
