I adore the look of the animal and the yarn and finished items make it all worthwhile.Doespinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04760221190794336414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8157957182206065559.post-33051959985725468492009-01-03T06:15:00.000+13:002009-01-03T06:15:00.000+13:00Thanks....I think they are awfully pretty too.

I really want a Pat Green drumcarder...I am saving for an electric Fancicarder. I would luv to spin more suri as I have some nice fleeces but it is such a pain.

Selecting the fibre and sorting the fleece carefully helps.<BR/>BTW your cats are so pretty.Doespinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04760221190794336414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8157957182206065559.post-7261505176744676642009-01-02T05:37:00.000+13:002009-01-02T05:37:00.000+13:00Those are very beautiful.

I almost always comb my alpaca fleece and it is quite durable with no pilling. I have some Peruvian alpaca yarn that was quite expensive and I knit mitts with it. They pilled like crazy and fell apart after only a few washings.Jodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15665272462573135734noreply@blogger.com
