dirty dirty

The next step is to find somewhere to wash 10 lbs of extremely dirty fleece. It is a rule that the alpaca with the best wool is also the alpaca that really enjoys rolling in the mud. If you have access to a veterinary clinic or a dog groomer, I found the raised bathtubs very convenient. I am one of the veterinarians, so I can get away with using the tubs. If you are an employee, this might be a bit trickier. I recommend using a large piece of window screen to wrap the fleece in to keep it from clogging up the drains. Sorry I don't have a picture today--I forgot the cable for my camera.
