My wife used to do spinning, but hasn't had the time for a while.
But now we are getting a couple of alpacas so we are planning to get wool from them.
I don't know if spinning alpaca wool will be much different to sheep's wool?

I don't know anything about alpacas and if there's any different. That makes me interested, I'll get back to you about that. I do have yarn from alpacas and I really like it, it's really soft 😊
I've search to find out more about alpacas wool, it's a bit different from sheeps wool and it does take some practice to spin it. On the other hand it has a lot of really good qualities and can be blended with other fibers to gain the advantages of sheeps wool when spinning for example. I found two articles I thought had useful information. I hope you find it interesting and that you'll keep us updated on the alpacas!
