Tasmanian House of Fibre

Mount Roland alpacas are very excited

Lady Aimie 2, a black Suri alpaca won her class and then scooped the Reserve Champion Suri fleece over 30 months.

We are all still jumping up and down with excitement.

Just to top off our success, Forestglen Merlin came third in his class.

This is only the 2nd time I have shown our Suri fleece and the 1st time I have shown the huacaya fleece, so with a little more experience our results may improve, fingers crossed.

Aimie 2 or Sophie as we call her is currently awaiting her first cria, the expectant father is Serena Lodge Prince Stitch

Congratulations Taylah!

Taylah, who has just turned 11 years, won the under 16s longest thread competition at Bothwell Spinnin.

This is actually a world wide competition, but we won’t tell Taylah that, we don’t want her to get a big head.

Taylah’s very finely spun thread measured 46.489 metres in length, Wow.

The longest thread competition requires that the spinner uses raw fleece (washed), the measurement is on 10gms of the spun fibre.

Taylah chose to use Tasmanian Corriedale.

Well done Taylah, what will you do next.

A special thank you to the ladies from Coffs Harbour for all your encouragement.

You may contact Taylah at info@tasmanianfibre.com.au
