October 2025 - Fleece of the Month

This months fleece is a combination of three Alpaca fleeces - the idea - was simply to use up the oldest/worst of my fleeces all in one go! I have a very hard time wasting or throwing out fleece that can be saved, so here we go!

Details:

  • Schacht Matchless, double drive, high speed,

  • Prep:

    • Fleece one was prepped already in batt form, ready to go.

      Fleece two, washing, carding, dyeing.

    • Fleece 3, washing and carding.

  • Drafting: SFD

  • Singles spun z. Standard 3 ply (tri colour), and leftovers chain plied.

Enjoy the photos! There is a short video on YouTube you can see here. I will share any final projects, at a later date. But none of the yarn, or projects will be for sale this time. This was a tough month, and not my finest work.

YEILD: 3 skeins of the tricolour, one mini skein of grey, and one skein of the light creamy colour.

UP NEXT: November’s fleece be a felt-based project.

See you next month,

~Karlie
