today i got the most amazing fleece you can imagen
its of 2 german boys, and its soft as a baby bottom :D :D :D
please meet 1st Ole, 2nd Pepe, and 3rd Ole and Pepe together
you can see, the colour on my ground is not really showing all its beauty !
more then a kilo of dreamy pleasure
stay tuned for updates
just a little update on Jelani
Spinning - Huacaya Alpaca - contract
often spinner ask, should i wash alpaka ... my answer - yes
and i wash it always, this happens when you wash a CLEAN fleece, with just 1 time pressing under water !!
and the fleece even felt clean !
for the drying i got me some mesh bags :)
and then the little unseen work happens ....
this girl has a lot of guard hairs in between the really soft fur - and i dont want to spoil the yarn - so i plug them all out !
and one thing is sure : this girl loves sand :D
i really ask myself where this sand is hidden, if you take a lock, you see nothing !!
but shaking it a bit, and plugging hair, and open them up, brings all the hidden "treasures" out
a small part is dyed in blue, and blended with some white, with my dyes i dont get pastells, so i have to do the carding
i will show what i am up to with this one later when i start the spinning
so far i prepared 10 oz (280 gram) pure white and 2 oz of pale blue
stay tuned :D
my friend made a pattern and i just had to test it, i love it, i see an afghan here :D
