The other question on chain-plying the llama is how it behaves at the bends. I have found that some fibers are more malleable and chain-ply with barely perceptable bumps (merino, for example), but that more wiry fibers can be very stubborn and not want to bend that radically. I'd be a little concerned that the llama might be one of the stubborn ones. I love chain plying, but I also find that I am not always the most consistent spinner from one end of a bobbin to the other, so plying with separate singles gives me a little more chance to even things out (of course, sometimes all the fat bits pile up too).
