This is Krisztina Mikkelsen. She is studying and training to be an alpaca and fleece judge. She is kind enough to share her knowledge of fleece with me. I luv skirting with her because I always learn so much. Thanks Krissy.
My Apollo fleece was the last that was sheared (out of 34 or 35 animals). I skirt pretty ruthlessly because I know that I want my yarn as soft and perfect as I can get it. Also being a cria fleece it can have extra VM. I would definitely class this fleece in the superfine category which is 20 microns or less.
While skirting, I might take a bit from the blanket if I like a fleece. In this case I chose a nice assortment of fawns.
There were a few nice suris but the fleece was too long so I cut it shorter before I wash it.
Of course my little Spice girl had to get in on the action too :)
This little beauty is Apollo. His fawn cria fleece will be mine at the end of the day.
A fawn suri cria, only a few days old.
