Alpaca Fiber Weekend

I spent the weekend in Flora, Indiana at Heritage Farms learning how to wash, dye and card Suri Alpaca fiber. Thank you to Elizabeth and Liz from Alpaca Fiber Solutions for the great workshop and to Beth and Tim Sheets for the hospitality!

The blue/green fiber is from our alpaca Freedom. I added a little sparkle and put it through a fine tooth carder three times. The lavender batt came from this fiber.
The pink batt was carded on a different carder and sent through twice so you can see more separation of the colors.
