I've washed alpaca fiber which I assume is similar to llama. I just soaked it 
in mothproofing liquid which I stupidly rinsed out. But I didn't do anything 
differently than washing sheep's wool. It was dirtier than sheeps wool because 
they liked to roll in dirt and hay, but it's no biggy. Just don't agitate. 
Spinning is so easy. It is not as grabby as sheep wool, but it is also easy to 
adjust to. Go slowly at first until you get used to it.

Hi All, I'm finally getting tired of tripping over the huge bag of llama fiber 
I was given -- and would like to wash it. Is there anything I should know about 
washing llama fiber specifically? I've just washed sheep's wool and mohair, 
never llama. Any tips on spinning it? Thanks!?
