You know about Alpaca wool but can you get Llama wool?
"We don't select our classic llamas for their fiber quality. All the characteristics of good fiber production (as well as many of the characteristics of good fiber for spinning) are directly opposed to what's ideal for keeping working llamas easily combed for weather protection without overheating ... and working performance llamas is what we raise and use. The South Americans had it absolutely right -- two kinds of llamas for two purposes. Because of our immersion in performance llamas, we also didn't start out using llama fiber at all. However, we are continually finding ourselves in the position of educating others. We knew how much misinformation from "experts" is peddled out there as "fact" in all facets of llamas, so we finally undertook learning about fiber use in order to avoid inadvertantly passing on similar misinformation about fiber (and yep, we quickly found that there's plenty of misinformation about fiber out there, too). Although we do save the more suitable combings from our own classic herd for outer-garment and nongarment use (it's quite possible to spin, although not as easy nor as satisfying), for next-to-the-skin projects, we use fiber from good-quality woolly and silky llamas and alpacas" from Lost Creek Llama Wool is a type of real fur that is shaved from and similar animals to a sheep == ==

How do you set a skein of wool after spinning it?
Most commercial skeins today are made to be pulled from the center, and they don't need unwinding. If you want to roll the yarn into balls, the old fashioned way is the only way I know of, simply start at the end and lift up on the yarn. Roll it up as it comes off the skein, and then pull more off. It is a very time consuming process. You have to use some care to prevent the yarn from getting too twisted. I usually just let the skein bounce around loose on my lap, or on a clean cloth on the table.
