[AlpacaTalk] RE: Re: What DO you do with your fiber?
I love both Heather and Wendy's ideas....especially Wendy's as I am an
organic farmer. The "paca poop" makes for some tremendously healthy
plants, but I have never thought of using the odd bits of fiber as mulch
- what a great idea!
My idea, as I gather up every precious bit, is to use to stuff that
quilt I am going to make one day :-). What a nice warm cozy quilt it
would make.
I have never felted, but have always wanted to learn. Sounds like a
great way to use the less than great fiber as well.
I have a fiber 101 question. I have never in these 8 yrs found time to
actually DO anything with my fiber, so it sits around in pillowcases
taking up space in my house. I am afraid to store it outside - moths?
mice? etc. However, I am in GA and not air conditioned, so it gets
quite humid in the house during the summer. Some of my older bags have
a faint mildew smell.
Do you wash the fiber before you do anything with it? If so, can
someone tell me how you do it? A friend of mine puts her sheep fleece
in her washing machine. I cannot imagine. Seems it would clog it up
something awful.
Can you all tell me how you store your fiber - for long periods of time?
Thanks! Janice
