RE: [AlpacaTalk] RE: What DO you do with your Fiber
Check out the Alpaca Blanket Project. We will be taking fiber to Pendleton Woolen Mills this month for the first run of blankets. We are still accepting farms into the project. We have a need for white Huacaya fiber within the next week or so to meet the deadline for Pendleton, but by all indications, we will be able to have enough sorted and graded by the deadline on the 17th of August. Finished blankets should be available mid to late October and should run $40 (cost plus our 3%) to those who have supported the project.
After the current phase of the project is complete, we will be able to pay $8 to $10 per pound, but my suspicion is that we will only be purchasing fiber from those who have helped with the current phase as we anticipate only needing about 12,000 pounds of fiber per year for the first couple years.
