Raw Alpaca class

I took a raw alpaca class at Deep Color, and here are the highlights:

Washing raw alpaca is easy:

1) Put about 2 oz. of fiber in a lingerie bag

2) Put the whole thing in a tub of tap-hot water with a squirt of Dawn dishwashing detergent

3) Let soak for about ten minutes

4) Rinse

...and there you have it.

As usual, Claudia's class has taken me from not feeling any need for a piece of equipment to wondering how it is I can remain a living, breathing human being on this earth without it. New obsession: Louet double row Dutch combs.
