I have just processed one of my young males white fibre. WOW
He is fantastic. I am so impressed.
We are a small processing mill for alpaca, wool, mohair etc. We can process your fiber from raw to the finished yarns. I also produce handmade soaps. I am a chandler who produces 100% soy candles. We are the caregivers of approx 50 alpaca and a few llamas, from which we produce rovings and yarns for sale to the public.

Mill is working
Well it certainly has been a bit since I wrote anything on my blog. I am bad....
Anyway, I have been busy working at getting the mill operating a bit.
I have a neighbour who works with this type of equipment and he came and we took the carder completely apart and sharpened all the rollers. We also made sure that all the speeds were correct and that the timing were correct.
I think he is going to replace the clothing on the fancy for me as well.
We are still working on figuring out what is wrong with the pin drafter. Hopefully it will be working soon.
I have been getting a lot of enquiries for processing wool to roving for people for the spring. I am thinking I may be fairly busy. *S* That is a good thing
