Skirting is removing all of the undesirable pieces from your raw fleece. This would be matted or felted parts, dung tags, second cuts, coarser fibers, hoof trimmings, stickers, vegetable material and any foreign objects. Even purchased fleeces should be closely checked for these items. I will be pulling out any items that will harm my machines but I prefer not to skirt the fleeces. This is too subjective and each person has a different comfort level and/or application for their wool.

I am well aware that this is a big concern for many people. My background (my past life) was warehouse management and production scheduling. Even though I now have a small shop with only a few employees, I am diligent and strict with keeping each fleece labeled and separate. Every incoming order has a work order written up for each fleece or batch. This paper work has all information for the fiber and of the owner and it stays with the fleece thru the entire process.

Vegetable matter (VM) in your fleece is a controversial and much discussed topic. I cannot process fiber with too much VM contamination. Most of the VM will come out of the fiber during carding but it is just being deposited into my machines. It may take me 3 hours to card your fleece but then another hour to clean my machines. It is just not worth it to any of us. You can always hand pick your fleeces. We do not do this service. As you will find, it is very tedious, filthy and time consuming. See similar questions...

Most breeders shear their alpacas annually. Alpacas are usually sheared with electric sheering equipment, however some breeders prefer hand shearing because of the density of the fiber. An annual yield of fiber is approximately six pounds from a female and more than ten pounds from a male. The first clipping from a young alpaca is very valuable, as it is very fine and has a lustrous feel. There are approximately 22 shades of alpaca fiber and it can be made into many different garments.

The skirt is one of the most important parts of a hovercraft because it allows the hovercraft to clear obstacles: the higher the skirt, the larger the obstacle that the hovercraft will clear. However, if the skirt is too tall, the hovercraft will 'slide off' the cushion and the cushion will deflate; the craft will become extremely unstable. There are several types of hovercraft skirts, but the most common are the bag skirt, the segmented skirt and the jupe skirt. See similar questions...

Lice are sometimes seen in llama, mohair and alpaca. Dander or skin flakes similar to dandruff is occasionally seen in mohair goats and in the dual coat wool breeds like Shetland, Icelandic, and Karakul sheep. The good news about lice is they die when they loose their host so we are only seeing the dead nits (or eggs) on the fibers strands. The animal may have had lice at one time, then was wormed or deloused, but the nits are still in the fibers, just dead. See similar questions...

A spray skirt keeps water from entering the cockpit or the kayak. It is important in rougher water or if you simply don't want any water or drip on your lap. For the experienced paddler it is a must to perform rolls and leans in rough conditions. There are a wide variety of skirts on the market and they are specific for various kayaks, based upon the cockpit shape. Generally, the paddler first steps into the skirt a pulls it up just as you would step into your pants in the morning. See similar questions...

When sewing on polar fleece, you will need to adjust the stitch length 3-4. Set the stitch width at 7.5mm. Loosen the pressure on the foot according to the instruction book. Set the differential feed at the lowest setting 0.6 or 0.7. If serging a coat or top you will need to stabilize the shoulder seam. To do this, place tape into the tape sewing guide. Sew tape to shoulder seam to prevent stretching. Have fun constructing your project! See similar questions...

One piece continuos skirts, which are easier to manufacture, have many inherent problems as compared to skirts that are gusseted (also called "slits"). Gusseted skirts not only hang much straighter, but also have less of a tendency to bunch-up under the cover when putting it on your spa. If the skirt folds under the cover it prevents a proper seal between the cover and spa, greatly reducing the covers insulating ability. See similar questions...

Because there is really no modern size standard (what one may think of as a size 8 may be a size 6 to someone else depending on the brand you are used to wearing), I prefer not to give modern size equivalents. In order to get the best fit when purchasing clothing online, it is best to use garment measurements instead. PLEASE do not just guess your measurements. For information on taking your measurements, please visit the measurements page, located at http//www.vintageous.com/measure.htm See similar questions...
