Hand Spinner Wanted
Information on the hand spinning offer has been moved to its own page.
Are you a hand spinner that loves trying different things? Hand spinning with different blends of fiber? Maybe hand spinning some hand dyed fiber to see how it turns out?

We would like to see how our alpaca fiber blends with other fibers and how it dyes. We just don’t have the time to do the hand spinning to use up our fiber. We could send it out to get processed, as we’ve done in the past, but we’d like to see some more variety. Even getting it processed at a mini mill means we’d get 4+ pounds of the same thing. We’d like to get 3 or 4 skeins of something unique. We may either sell it in our shop, online or in person, or use it in a craft.
What we would like to do is find a couple hand spinners willing to spin up the fiber into yarn for half of the fiber. How it would work is we’ll wash, card and blend the fiber into bats on our Howard Brush Drum Carder. We’ll send you half of the fiber blend to spin for us and after you send it back we’ll send you the other half with which you can do whatever you like.
This is something new, for us, that we’re trying so we’re open to working with your ideas if your willing to the work with us and give us suggestions.
If this is something you think you would be interested in please let us know:

[...] We now have 12 more blankets and 12 more seconds bags of wonderful alpaca fiber here to work with. If you are interested we could still use some more hand spinners for spinning the fiber. [...]
