Have you tried spinning their fleece? I'm absolutely rubbish at it, it doesn't have the same forgiving qualities as wool - it doesn't grab hold of itself as well and the absence of tacky lanolin makes it slippery. I can't seem to get an even spin from it. Any tips would be welcome!
They are pretty cute though, and the colours are fabulous.
I can't wait to see the little escape artists in the daylight. Now i can officially add "alpaca wrangling' to my evergrowing resume....Love Ron's new name for your farm!LOL
