This is the first time I’ve messed with raw fiber. I learned a couple of things, such as if your rubber bands aren’t extremely tight you will comb all of your hair out into the sink
Also, trying to find the cut ends of black hair that is in a matted pile and only 2-3" long will nearly make you blind! All in all, it’s kind of relaxing sorting and bundling hair while watching a movie. The fawn and black are Alpaca, and the pale is Mohair I bought last year. I plan to root some of each on a practice head to see how they they root and might sell some later on as a pound of hair is a LOT

I found that the stickier the rubberband, the better it holds on to the hair while washing and combing. Nice lot of hair
I feel like this took a really long, long time
It does… and if you use a cat slicker brush, lots of stab wounds to the fingers the hair looks really good though, you did a nice job!

Thank you! I’ll try the brush as I feel I’ve missed the full experience by using a comb
