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. Vicki

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!? ? Margot Grim? Grim's Faerytale Farm?
