  After the rinse in the vinegar bath, did the vest smell like vinegar? Also, did you squeeze it out before laying it down to dry? Thank you.

  I just found this video and love the vest. It appears you have used only the longer fibers for the vest. Have you ever done this with the shorter neck fibers, perhaps fiber under 2" in length? Thank you for posting the video. I'll be watching for more.

• 
  @OffGridAlpacaLife3 ай бұрын

  Hi! Thank you for watching! I don’t usually use shorter fibers - they don’t go thru my carder very well. But you can definitely felt them. It might take a little bit longer cause of the shorter length. But they should felt fine.

  I'm a spinner and here's a tip. To remove your finished batt from the large drum, (and to clean both the drum and licker after you're finished), use a metal tined hair brush cleaning tool to loosen it as you go, and this will change your world.

  If they don't dry the babies themselves wouldn't that affect things in the wild or are alpacas not something that exist in the wild?

• 
  @OffGridAlpacaLife4 ай бұрын

  Alpacas have been domesticated for over 4,000 years. They wouldn’t survive in the wild without their human companions. Their wild ancestors are called vicuña. And still live in the Andean region in South America.

  That's so sad poor little sheep you are literally letting their tails brought off by cutting off a blood supply shame on you

• 
  @OffGridAlpacaLife4 ай бұрын

  Hi! I understand that it makes you sad but I have done plenty of self reflection and research before proceeding with this practice and it felt like it was in alignment with our beliefs. It has been 6 days and the lambs have shown absolutely no signs or symptoms of pain. They are house lambs so they live inside and I have observed them closely watching for any discomfort. But they are still their wild little selves. The banding has not altered their behavior at all. So I hold no shame here. I stand in integrity with the choice that we made. Thank you

  I use a porcupine quill to lift fibres from the teeth on the drum. I believe that the doffer tool can damage both the cloth and the tines. The batt is absolutely dreamy and I love the way the colours blended. I love alpaca fibre 🥰🥰🙏🏼
