The times I've worked with llama I haven't washed it before
spinning. There is next to no grease in llama and dirt will fall
out as you spin. I find it much easier to wash AFTER spinning.

Holly,
I would think that soy silk is cellulose as it's from soy beans.
Unless they add some real silk to it.

Dry ice is the best way to get rid of moths and larvae. Then keep
they away with a good herbal moth repellant. NOT moth balls as they
cause cancer.
