How to Spin Yarn from Alpaca - Spinning the Fiber

Let's learn how to spin yarn from alpaca! This video shows how I'm spinning the fiber from 3 different preparations. I spin from a cloud, hand cards, and a drum carder. Using woolen long draw to process hand spun yarn makes a yarn that is soft and squishy!

Spinning alpaca fiber is a lot of fun. This is the third video in a series where I demonstrate how to process alpaca fleece at home.
