Stopped at an alpaca farm in the way home a few weeks ago, and the owner Mary sold me a bag of white fleece for $10  it turned out to be too short to spin, it is 1.5-2″  although  carded it and was able to make some yarn with it, it was difficult .

Mary found a second bag of fleece for me that has longer staple length. After washing it and coming it, I spun up a bit.  I’m more comfortable at spinning lace yarn, but trying to spin a bit thicker for a sweater.  Waiting to see if I can make a cable sweater with it
