Description
This beautiful Pom Pom bag charm is made from Athena’s fibre from her 2021 shearing. The fibre part measures approximately 10cm long, the pom pom is approximately a 5cm ball and the clasp is approximately 3cm long.
All the alpaca fibre which is going to be spun into yarn is washed in an antibacterial detergent and then a wool wash.
After spinning the clean fibre into yarn on my Louet S51 spinning wheel, the yarn is then soaked in water to set the twist in the yarn. The pPom Pom is attached to the clip clasp by a crochet chain stitch. Perfect for attaching to a bag or key ring.
Handmade 100% alpaca fibre.
Alpacas love to roll in dust and Paula at Peaky Pacas provides a specialist earth for her alpacas. Whilst grazing the fibre also picks up hay, grass, seeds, moss and other vegetable matter (VM). I try my best to remove all the bits, however, the occasional seed or bit of grass may get through.
