I have spinnign supplies here: Midnightsky Fibers- mostly roving and batts.

There is also some information in the articles section about different spinning, dye, etc styles

I also really like helloyarn.com (and her blog- helloyarn.com/wp)- she has drop spindle kits.

Hi all! I'm a forum newbie So, I have this really great job that allows me some interesting perks... like the recent acquisition of 4 or 5# of raw alpaca fiber. Someday I would love to learn how to process and spin but until I live in an apartment bigger than 400 sq ft, I would like to send it somewhere for processing. Any suggestions? Thanks!

i would google for info in your area (or within a reasonable to you shipping distance) for a wool mill/yarn mill/spinning mill, then contact them. for a fee they will usually offer multiple options, from just processing your fleece to spinning yarn from your fleece. HTH

I figure I should add here the sites I feel could be helpful. I am going to try not to post any repeats (sites that someone else posted) and I'm going to try not to post an overwhelming link flood, but most likely I will:

Well there hasn't been an update to this thread in a while! I *highly* recommend this book!! Spindles, wheels, wool prep, a glossary (wanna know what pre-drafting is?) great pictures....http://www.interweave.com/spin/books/Start_Spinning/

Hello

I'm really new here (like ... an hour ago? <G>) so maybe someone else has already posted this site.

I'm just learning how to spin and asked a spinner if she had an online site to help me and she sent me this one:

I recently heard of Sheep Shed Studio. They seem to have great deals on mill ends and grab bags of fiber.

Anybody ever ordered from them?...some people on ravelry really praised them.
