Spin-off competition with AOA. Great way to learn how spinners like your fleece!

Ever wondered how your fleece performs beyond the show ring?

The Spin-Off Competition offers a hands-on evaluation of how your fiber performs when spun into yarn. Submit two ounces of fleece and receive detailed feedback from skilled spinners, including insights on uniformity and ease of spinning—plus a hand-spun sample returned to you.

“It’s a great way to see how your fiber translates to yarn and into a usable product,” said Show Superintendent Elizabeth Bernard.

Fleeces shorn on or after January 1, 2025, are eligible.

Ready to see your fleece in action? Register by June 1. 👉 Enter now: https://www.alpacainfo.com/fleece-nationals/exhibiter-information -off
