OK half of the first batch of alpaca dried like a charm. I had it hanging on a clothes line in the basement. The second half I couldn't hang up since I figures Dh would get a little peeved if he went to lay down on the futon and plopped into a puddle. ;)
So, I figured if a normal screen is said to be a good drying rack for wool then why wouldn't and old baby gate that is on it's last legs be a good choice for a drying rack. It's not like it has to do anything but sit there. LOL! Well it will make for a good drying rack as soon as I can find a place to put it other then on top of the chest freezer. :o Let's just say the top dried like a charm but the bottom is still wet due to condensation and not enough air flow. Ah, well there's a lesson learned.
I think I have anew place to put it, by a fan even to remedy the whole problem with really wet areas, so I'll get it moved and get it dry and I should be able to add it to the 'needs brushing' stash.
I even started spinning some of the brushed alpaca yesterday to change things up a bit. ;)
I'm seeing felted slippers for the family out of the chocolate brown. It's spinning up a bit fuzzy. It feels *wonderful* despite looking like a rough and scratchy wool. :)
Now to get some cleaning done in prep for some girl time tomorrow and momma's time off this weekend. Yay!!! :D
