Lusterous White ALPACA Roving spin spinning fiber

You are bidding on 4 oz of carded roving that is 100% huacaya alpaca from our farm herd.     It has been scoured and carded at the Wooly Knob Mill.   This fleece is a lusterous bright white. There is a little bit of VM in this fleece, but most seems to drop out during spinning. Some bits of hay do need to be picked out. It is a blanket fleece and one of softest in the shop.  

Because it is 100% alpaca, it may be a challenge for a beginning spinner.  However, I know of many alpaca breeders who have learned to spin alpaca before moving on to other fibers.  Alpaca does not have as many "barbs" on each fiber to hold it together the way that wool does.  But even my husband, a beginning spinner, can spin this lovely roving.

White fleeces tend to be the softest in alpacas. It can also be dyed and takes colors beautifully, resulting in lovely jewel tones or soft pastels.

This roving is good for spinning, blending or felting  This roving is a sparkling white, and would blend in such a lovely way with a some of the other wool and alpaca rovings that  I have for sale in my other auctions   It is very soft and would be great by itself or blended with other fibers.     Shipped in a plastic bag then boxed, from a non-smoking home.
