The reality is much more fun. Yes, those are alpaca batts wrapped on paper towel tubes. And when the suns out, I’ll use any available surface to dry fleece! The pictures won’t always be pretty, but they will show the many different aspects of taking fiber to finished project.
Discoveries happen when knowledge and theory meet in practice.
