What a thrill! We opened the mail yesterday to see a beautiful red ribbon for the fleece we entered in the Spin-Off held at Saratoga, New York by our Empire Alpaca Association. Our yearling, Princess Nomian, has wonderful fawn-colored, soft, silky fiber. The judge who spun our
bag of fleece rated its quality and returned a small sample of the yarn.
This was especially informative to me, because John just loves to help with the spinning as we sit by the television after dinner and the keyboard. Yes, we have a new addition to our routine. I have been practicing carding the fleece and mixing some different colors.
John likes the dog brushes we use for carding and picks out the fleece from our pillowcases. As of this morning, all of Alameda's fleece has been spun! Each skein looks better. There is no doubt that we will market Princess Nomian's fleece as ribbon winning !
