The main emphasis of the Wonder Why Alpaca Farm, LLC is Fiber Arts. We focus on making our breeding decisions and pasture maintenance with the end product in mind. Alpacas are fiber producing animals so as a breeding farm, we have a responsibility to the fiber industry to create a herd that will produce the Wonder that is Alpaca.
ASK ME ABOUT
FIBER SORTING
FIBER SORTING
As of February 28, 2010, I am a Certified Sorter Apprentice.
What does this mean?
It means that I am trained to look at fleeces to determine their textile grade.
Why is this important?
It's important because fiber needs to be properly sorted to make a better quality product. There is more usable fiber from each alpaca and less waste at the mill when properly sorted.
What are the advantages?
As a fiber producers, you will receive an individual sort record for each alpaca, a sort summary for the entire clip, assistance with herd management and increased usable fiber which means increased profit potential along with suggested uses for each grade of fiber I sort.
Contact me today if you would like to learn more about having your fiber sorted.
