Weaver Notes
This was a project for our annual guild challenge – to take some donated alpaca fiber and make something from it, spinning the fiber. I used grey and white alpaca fiber, washed it, drumcarded it, and then spun it into a two ply yarn. I wove it using clasped weft. Once off the loom, I washed and lightly fulled the fabric and made it into a lined tote bag with leather handles.
