Well, the latest stuff I bought is Meadows Wool Wash, Patchouli. For allwool and fine washables and blended with pure herbal essential oils for natural insect and moth repellence. It contains no chemicals or bleaches that are harmful to fiber and it's biodegradable and phasphate free. Actually I just typed that off the bottle. I got it from a sheep and wool festival booth. The woman swore by it and it was 9.50 a bottle. I think the other stuff I used to use was also Wool Wash, just a different scent, maybe pennyroyal.

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.

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?
