He and his family run a Simpler Time Alpacas and Mill – Located in Southern California east of San Diego.  Dave is quite knowledgeable in the professional milling process and continues to educate himself on how to deliver the very best products possible. He is also a delightful story teller.

Dave talks about how he started his alpaca business quite by chance and met Dave Belt.  You’ll also hear how his whole family gets involved.  He offers a step by step process of how they turn the raw fiber into the yarn and the variety of things possible with the different grades of alpaca fiber. He also shares some wonderful ideas about felting and what to do with batting and the difference between a sliver and roving.  Something I think you will find very interesting.  No matter where you are in your alpaca venture, you could use his knowledge and services.
