Today was a lot of strategizing and maintenance while we waited for some fleeces to dry, but we did get to make another skein of yarn! (We think this style might become our signature🤍🧶🐑)
Training day 3:
-made two ply Lopi (SUPER FLUFFY) yarn from Alpaca
-learned to clean and maintain the spinners, fiber separator, and carders
-discovered there is too much humidity for the machines to work properly so we need a humidifier (or a hairdryer for the electric boards-which served as a rather inconvenient temporary solution today)
-Started picking and carding fiber for another batch of white wool yarn
-started spinning another batch of three ply alpaca
Overall I think it’s safe to say Day 3 with was another great success!
