Alpaca balls!
My new favorite fiber to spin (based, of course, on all of my vast experience)! Long staple. Super soft. Just lovely!

I still can't see any photos on your blog, Leah. I'm so sad. I wanted to see the alpaca balls! Are they anything like mountain oysters? =) Just kidding, I gather they're spun up yarn balls.

Aha. I disabled my Norton Internet Security for a minute, and voila, beautiful rovings. I'll have to go in there and change my settings. Phooey on firewall software.

I love it, they do look good enough to eat… or roll in! I am in love with Alpaca these days anyway, it's so soft and gorgeous to work with.

Alpaca is my favorite fiber too. I have yet to try spinning it though. I'll live through you for a while. :)

One of my faves, too. I just spun up two hanks of Alpaca/Merino/Silk from Indigo Farms and I love, love, love them!

That Alpaca is gorgeous...wow. I am sure that everyone has the same viseral reaction - they are so scrumptious looking. You will so enjoy spinning that up!
