lovely... I find when I'm carding with hand carders, it seems like so much work, obviously I'm trying to hard, you make it look so easy and so effortless.

Are your carders used for wool too? Are they super fine?
Inquiring minds want to know!
Don't you just LOVE alpaca??

Thank you an interesting video. I noticed that you aligned the fibers VERY carefully before starting to card them, is that because alpaca is that fragile. I do agree with Rexenne that if you added a sound track explaining what is different about working with alpaca and why it would be very helpful.

Interesting if not quiet! How do you put the next batch of carded fiber with the first batch?

If a picture is worth a thousand words, then a video must be worth a million. Thanks a million! This was very helpful!

You should talk about what you are doing...make it more interesting! Talk about how you started working with alpaca fiber, who showed you the first time, or where you learned to do it. All fun stuff that could be adding some dimension as you record your vid!
