[AlpacaTalk] skirting a pinto huacaya fleece...repost
Hello list,
I'm still hoping that someone out here can help me with skirting a pinto
huacaya fleece.No matter how hard I try, it seems as if I'm skirting out
most of the white edge fiber and leaving the bayblack "saddle" fiber.but the
little bits of white and the neps and second cuts are white on black and
black on white.I have spent as much as six hours dampening fingers and
picking single fibers off the opposite color..only to find that, upon
folding for bagging.I've totally recontaminated the fleece. No wonder I
don't see many in the pinto classes at shows.
I dearly want to show this fleece. This is a fleece from a production
girl.her crimp is not the most obvious, but she makes up for it by having
the best hand on the farm, bar none. Her fleece is in hit 4th shearing and
is still under 20 microns in the darker portion with lovely luster and
staple length. It is not the most dense, however.but it is worthy of notice
if I could figure out how to skirt it!
