Lucky duck with the alpaca! I've read that since alpaca doesn't have lanolin you don't have to wash it. I just spun up a mess of alpaca that hadn't been washed and it was just beautiful.
I talked to a lady who's processed a lot of fleece, and she actually prefers not to use a drum carder. She said that way she doesn't lose the character and curls in the fleece. I'm going to give that a shot.
