Re: [AlpacaTalk] Snark

 

After paying for a certified sorter $15 per fleece, $3 per pound plus shipping isn't paying you anything, and is more than likely costing you money.

As Margaret said, always do the math.

I have to agree. I send my fleece to different mini mills and have
roving, yarn and felt made for resale, but I personally know people who have
YEARS of yarn sitting in their barn. I would think getting rid of it would
be a distinct advantage over sitting on it year after year.

I only have 20 alpacas and was so relieved to drop off the last of
my fiber to the mill a few weeks ago. If and when the time comes I don't
need it processed for resale, I might just take someone up on an offer of $3
lb. Not much, but more than zero, imho.
