Fleeces-to-Go

Let’s talk about what I call scruff/dander in your fleece. I see it in a few fleeces every year. I do let the owner know because now it the time to treat your alpaca. The fiber grows through this waxy feeling substance and doesn’t pick out. So I just snip it off if it’s right at the tips.
This is one reason why you need to take a look at your fleece as it comes off your alpaca.

So what seems to be the best thing you have found to treat this condition?

Who loves a spotty appy fleece?

A lovely fawn fleece from my girl Zaria. I’m not showing it as she has an unusual patchwork of medium fawn and light fawn throughout her fleece- almost like a multi but too close in color. I like the level of fineness, the crimp style and brightness in this fleece.

It’s skirting season! I’m loving this white fleece that just glows !

It’s that time of year again. For those that want me to skirt your fleeces, please get them shipped ASAP after shearing. The USPS is instituting an 8% shipping fee on 4/26. I recommend using PirateShip.com. Always use extra packing tape to seal your box at all edges. If it’s really heavy (suri people!) put a girdle of shrink wrap around it. Also suri - pack them within a bag in a box incase your bag splits so the fleece doesn’t fall out. Those boxes get dropped, tossed and really beat up.

If you haven’t already reached out to reserve a space for your fleece, let me know so I can manage my workload.
