This episode starts in the mill at the picker as we blend up Shetland wool and Suri alpaca. Then more picking with Shetland wool and dyed up tussah silk. Off to the carder we go with these fibers and of course a little handspinning. There is also a quick visit to the farm to see the pigs, alpaca, June the pony and the sheep.
