RE: [AlpacaTalk] What DO you do with your fiber?
Heather,
Put me down for a felt rug. :) Thanks so much for your support of the project. We will be submitting fiber to Pendleton Woolen Mills for our first run later this month and should have the finished blankeds back mid to late October.

Hi Steve,Well, as I posted previously, I sent off all that I could part with to the Pendleton Blanket Project. Peter came by while we were shearing this year so I didn't have this year's clip ready for him... but I'll go through and decide what portion of this year's clip I can donate as well.The rest, I plan to do stuff with! Yes, poor grammar. The super-fine stuff I'll have processed probably by hand to weave into fabulous one of a kind pieces. The leg and neck stuff that doesn't make the cut for the Pendleton project, I'll experiment in my own projects. I am now all about making felt rugs. I think leg fiber will be great for high traffic rugs. Neck fleece that may be too short for the Pendleton project but plenty fine otherwise, I'll see about making into felted shawls, scarves, throws, slippers, etc. and that super-coarse leg stuff can also be made into felt slippers. It's just a matter of doing it (as I sit here typing away)!How about the rest of you? By the way, if I get any good at my felt rugs, I'll be buying leg fleece from everyone, soon, for money!Best!HeatherH
