Hello. I do not spin but I have alpaca wool I would love to have spun so I can knit my children a blanket. Can anyone suggest someone I can speak to about spinning the wool for me? I live in the suburbs of North Atlanta and would like to find someone local but I am willing to ship it to someone who can spin it for me.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Looking for someone to spin alpaca wool
You might check to see if there is a local spinning guild. Also check local yarn stores for any spinning groups they may have.
I suspect this won’t be easy nor cheap. Spinning while enjoyable is a lot of work and a big time commitment.
Thank you Jan. After looking into it further, I have decided to take on a new hobby and try it myself.
Love the cat picture btw.
That’s a good idea. My friends love it. 3 of them have mini-spinners now. Lol I crash social spinning on Tuesdays and knit with them.
Thanks! She passed away a couple years ago at the age of 19. She was a Ragdoll breed and her name was Marshmallow. Her fur was different than other breeds… It was soft and fluffy. One of my spinner/knitter friends took a bit of her fur and said she could have spun it. Too bad I didn’t save it all those years.
I had 3 Himmalayans and loved them all dearly. I lost my last one a few years ago. 2 were seal point and one was blue point.
I see that you have already found a solution! I’ll just excuse myself.
Good luck on your alpaca blanket. I’m sure it will be lovely.
