Alpaca- I caught the fever
Last Monday I visited Ohio Valley Natural Fibers and brought home over 2lbs of white and brown blended roving- 100 % Alpaca; a new fiber for me.
50% suri, 50% huacaya
I have already spun over 1600 yards and am going strong.
I'm calling this colorway Vanilla Chocolate Swirl
Loom Day
t + 4.5 hours
From around 3 to 5 o'clock this afternoon we moved the loom I purchased into the studio.
A Mira II 4 shaft counterbalance Leclerc Loom
All very exciting
