Nice wheel. The alpaca, you can spin from locks after you've washed it. And no matter what anyone tells you, don't "wait to wash it until you've spun it". It will make a horrible mess and never really get clean. Wash it first. Once it's dry, you can just flick the locks open and spin that way. No carding needed. I'm a single treadle lover myself. By necessity since my left foot don't work so good these dayz.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('8225','buttercup'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('8225','buttercup','Lovely stuff.

There aren't many ST-lovers (like me) around any more! Congratulations! I've had my Lendrum for something like 20 years, and it's still going strong. I walked through the fleece room chanting "I don't want to process raw wool... I don't want to process raw wool.." and emerged unscathed. At my age, life's too short to spend time washing and carding. Especially in a drought. But I've done it in the past, so I understand the appeal. I did bring home 2 lbs of roving from Zeilinger's though.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('8222','Jnice in GA'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('8222','Jnice in GA','Dude, you bought a single treadle wheel!
