more alpaca

I've washed a little bit of it, spun a little bit of it, even dyed a little bit of it. It's still a joy to work with, and I'm learning more about fiber and spinning all the time. First off, some book recommendations: Spinning in the Old Way by Priscilla Gibson-Roberts and Women's Work, the first 20,000 Years by Elizabeth Wayland Barber.

Here's another attempt at properly embedding photos.
This one is my drying set-up for the washed fleece. I actually spread the fleece out and fold the curtain over it to make a nice drying sandwich.

Hmph. can't tell if it's my fault, Blogger's, or the slow connection, but pictures are not working well. Poop.
