That was fast!

I sent 2 batches of roving to the mill a week ago and I have already got it back!  I had sent my llama Ggama's last 2 fleeces and a Shetland Alpaca blend to Stonehedge to be processed and it came back today.  As some of you know llama is my FAVORITE fiber so I have been busy spinning that already.  The last llama roving I had done I have been hoarding in my stash and still have not done anything with what yarn I have spun from it.  Sometimes I just like to pet it like a good hoarder does LOL.
This is the llama which I have started spinning on my ol' trusty Ashford, gotta love this wheel!  Ggama has a very fine fleece with little guard hair and this spins like a dream.
70% Shetland 30% Alpaca very soft and should be lovely to spin.
This is the batts I have been working on carding on my drum carder.  Shetland lamb fleece and llama.  This llama is more textured so the batt is not as soft and my llama roving but I am still happy with it and think this will make some lovely yarn to use for shawls or other drape garments.  Both rovings are for sale and priced $3.00 an oz.  Contact me at pslams121@rocketmail.com if your interested in any.  God Bless!
