The Fiber Tumbler Is Complete!

Written By Andra Vltavín

Made out of a modified cement mixer, this handmade wooden cage is perfect for tumbling the dirt out of alpaca fibers. I can't wait to use it.

Commerical tumblers cost upwards of $4,000. This one, built out of a used mixer, cost $400 in materials (and a lot of time). Thank you, Emily and Nick for your help finishing it up!

Blueprints available on Etsy from Fibre Arts Bootcamp.
