Winter evenings are spent cleaning alpaca fiber and watching TV while the snow gently falls outside. I have been cleaning firsts and seconds to prepare them for processing. I've been saving thirds in a small bag to wash and dye.
The white fiber that was washed yesterday is now drying and waiting to be dyed. It's an exciting process to think about the colors you want to use and the products to be made. Hopefully, I will be able to dye some of the fiber a deep red color in time for Valentine's Day!
