[AlpacaTalk] Re: Fiber trade for product

 

Hi Tina,
Actually I have always successfully traded fleece for finished product.  We have been in the business 11 years, and never had any trouble bartering for socks, rovings, scarves, gloves, yarn or whatever.  This has been both firsts and seconds.  The only trouble now is in the last three years I have not been able to keep up with it as much as I used to because of my back, and right now I have a surplus.
Thanks for your input! I have already received a few emails so I am stoked!

Maybe some others on this thread can come up with some other ideas!!! Always,T
