I would like to spin some alpaca tops - I see that Thistledown Alpacas advertise on this site and they sound good but does anyone have any recommendations and for top quality what is a reasonable price to pay? Thistledown charge £5 for 100g.

I have a bit of white alpaca fleece to spare. I have washed and ried it, but not combed it. Its from my local alpaca farm, next door to my FIL's farm.

I have about 8oz (200g) left. It would cost £7 inc p&p. pm me if you are interested.

I have several kilos of various colours of alpaca tops that a friend of mine who specialised in fairtrade clothing brought back from her workers in Peru last time she visited them, if anyone wants a selection pack I can work out how much 100g of assorted colours would cost. Its gorgeous to felt, havent tried spinning it yet Very Happy
