Handspun Alpaca and Alpaca Knits

Handspun

First Time Blogger

I am spinning and knitting for two alpaca breeders, one in Canada and one in the States. I have a Majacraft Rose and an older Ashford traditional. Someday I want to be the proud owner of a Quebec Wheel. I need a spinning wheel that can spin a thin single fast and spin alot!! I spin every day...can't stay away for long. I have quite a bit of alpaca fleece and it's so fun to play with. Last January I bought minicombs and thought they were great. This January I bought the big guns....english wool combs handmade in BC. They are fantastic. Maybe I will post some pics once I get onto this blogging thing of how I use them and what they can create.
