Alpaca is soft, light-weight and luxurious to wear. I love it .
I have spun the alpaca straight off the beautiful beastie
with no washing, no carding(combing). no prep at all. Then I spun some blended and carded 25%possum75%/polworth wool. The alpaca was a much chunkier yarn. When I was plying them together I randomly stuffed in some bits of raw silk, cut lengths of commercial silk and some olive green carded Polworth wool. Polworth is very fine wool, very similar to Merino
