Re: [AlpacaTalk] Buying alpaca fiber?
Yup, I agree! This Texas denim thing doesn't sound a bit like anything
I want to do with my alpaca fleece! I have the utmost respect for
Fantasy Farms Tx' breeding program, though!
But the Pendleton Project is definitely something we can all agree is a
great way to use our fiber! I can't wait to get my first 100% Alpaca,
Pendleton Mills made, blanket/throws! Does anyone NOT know the name
"Pendleton"? I just wish I had more good fleece I wanted to part with!
You know, I have some super-white fleeces from animals I no longer own,
quite a bit of under 20ยต stuff that I just can't give away... And of
course I have all that leg and neck stuff! In fact, I do need to go
through my clip from this year to see what else I can donate to this
project.
So anyway, if you're interested in a project that really does what I
think most of want, contact the Lundbergs! This is the first project to
date that I've seen that actually looks seriously at compensating
fleece providers in any appreciable way. Every other
program/coo-
the way of services required, or funneling your fleece to other
producers so that you can then purchase them at wholesale... then
what's the point? I can buy at wholesale and keep my fleece and do what
I want with it!
