Fiber Collection
Posted 19 August, 2008 in Alpaca General |
Fiber Collection - This year Tom and I will be hosting one of the fiber work days at our ranch on Sunday, Sept. 7th. It will go from 10am until we are finished. Basically this day is spent doing quality control checks on the bags of fiber brought over. We check for cleanliness, length of fiber, second cuts or guard hair, and lastly the fineness of the fiber.
This year the fiber co-op of Arizona (you must belong to the Alpaca Breeders of Arizona Association in order to belong to the fiber co-op) plans on having hiking socks and sport weight yarn made. The socks are really warm and soft on the feet. The yarn will be 7 oz and soft like you couldn’t believe as we only put in baby alpaca fiber.
Right now my days are filled with cleaning fiber. I look forward to finishing and getting back my end product.
If you would like more information on our fiber co-op please feel free to contact me.
