fibery stuffs = mess

Em's decided to finally get around to processing some of the alpaca we bought from 4 Musketeers last Fall. She's currently working on a gorgeous cinnamon brown fleece

yummy cinnamon brown huacaya

She washed it. And she'll card it.

processing...

But there's a little more vm in it than the two I washed previously, so she's picking it by hand.
In my livingroom.

alpaca fight!

It's only going to get worse...

Graham, up there on the right half of the love seat in the carding pic? He looks quite happy, doesn't he? Don't be fooled. He was trying to watch TV, which is on the other side of Em. He's a little bewildered by all the fluff taking over.

Or maybe he's bewildered by the fact that it's getting close to dinner time and here's our dining room table...

where's the beef?

Ah, well. We're working.

And getting things done.

finished!

Hopefully Confetti and Buccaneer aren't bad for you. When you get ready to work on them, let me know. I will gladly come help process my alpaca. I did skirt them, at least, before I gave them to you.
