Alpaca Association of Western Oregon 2019 SpinOff
Friday, June 28, 2019 - Friday, June 28, 2019
Canby, OR
A SpinOff is an easy way to compete – mail in just a 2-4 ounce sample of fleece (which leaves enough of the blanket to be entered in more shows). An experienced judge will spin a small skein and evaluate it according to fineness, handle, ease of preparation, and other desirable characteristics, giving you valuable feedback. Plus, your alpaca’s fleece and your farm name will be viewed by thousands of visitors to Oregon Flock & Fiber Festival.
Fleeces from both 2018 and 2019 shearings are eligible; there is no limit on the number of entries from one farm. Since we want to be inclusive, you don't have to be an AOA or AAWO member.
There are several cash awards, including $100 for alpacas 8 years and older.
Youths (18 and under) and 4-H members can enter for free and qualify for more cash prizes.
So check out your fleeces – those stored from last year and those still on your animals – and get them ready to send. Our deadline is June 28th – we’re looking forward to seeing all your wonderful fiber.
