Fibre workshop and testing clinic
July 1, 2023 @ 10:30 AM – 5:30 PM
Art of Fibre will be holding a Fibre Clinic in conjunction with South East England Alpaca Group.
The day will run from 9:30am to 4:30pm and there will be a presentation by Paul Vallely covering:
- Understanding Fibre Test Reports
- Relating Fibre Test Data to actual fleece
- Using the information for your breeding programme
- Skirting fleece with practical demonstrations to improve the commercial value
Additionally, your fibre samples can be bought for testing on the day and there will be a chance to discuss your results with Paul if you wish. If you have already had your samples tested by Art of Fibre, please bring a copy of your reports and you can have these analysed by Paul free of charge. This will be a fantastic opportunity to meet other breeders and to understand more fully why and how to test your fleeces and use the information in your breeding decisions. We will also show you how to noodle fleeces, ready for fleece shows and/or processing!
