I've had my eye on Maple's alpaca roving, but I have so much fiber that I need to spin up before I feel justified in buying more. Oooo, awesome fiber!

For spinning, I sort of precard as I am spinning although if it's very wide I do split the roving or batt in two, first. The alpaca is gorgeous!! Enjoy!
