True, there's no grease, but they love to dust bathe. Personally, I don't want even the microscopic grit sticking to my prep equipment or getting trapped by spinning wheel oil and getting into the moving parts. I am in the minority in this feeling, so please take it as just another example of me being opinionated. How cool is it to get free alpaca? I still need to send pounds upon pounds of fleece off for processing. I believe I'm going to contact Ozark Carding Mill for it because their roving I bought last year at SAFF was the best I've ever spun. And if you can still get that carder, you should. I've been having fun with mine lately and while I'm not terribly interested in hand processing entire fleeces, I'm enjoying blending with it. Oh and P.S. the script for Adagio is slowing it waaaay down when you try to go to the comments. You don’t HAVE to wash it first, but it’s always helpful.
