So much fiber!

Ok I have the pictures and here they are.....

This first one is of how big the four bags are. My son Hiro (in the picture) is about 40" at the shoulder for those who might live where these bags aren't sold. I got four of these bag about 2/3 full of fiber sorted by color.

Here is a picture of my Dd1 Brenna, who was cheesed that her brother got to be in a picture and she didn't. LOL! She is feeling the chocolate brown fiber (sorry that the picture is sideways). There is a better picture of the color below. This fiber is washed and ready to be brushed and fluffed for spinning. I have found that the dog brush that we haven't been able to use for the dog since she is deathly afraid of it. Yes, I have a weird dog. :)


Here is the white and black (kind of brown-ish black), it hasn't been washed yet.


Here is the white, again yet to be washed. :)


Here is the salt and peppery black. I can't wait to wash this to see how it looks spun. So far the color of this is my favorite. :)


Last but not least here are pictures of the very pleasant suprise. From the look and feel of these two grocery sized bags I found tucked into two of the other bags I *think* that it is baby alpaca fiber. My jaw still hurts from all the work it took to scrape my poor jaw off the ground after that find. I about had to pick up Dh when he heard about how much baby alpaca can go for and then decided that it was one hell of a deal that I was given all this fiber for free to find a couple of pots of gold in there too. :D

The first picture is of the two colors together, then a close up of each. :)

So, that is where I stand for now. I'm cleaning it all as fast as I can. ;)
