Kusuka Likasi kuya Okwebitsha — Ukuhlukanisa, Ukunambitheka Nokwebitsha

Khetha isambatho sokusetshuluziwe ilama. Imibala yemvelo yehlukahluka phakathi kokukhanya, okobhadi, okusalebhele kanye okomiluzi, kodwa ayihlukahluki njenge-alpaca. Isambatho se-ilama sinesilinganiso senqwaba phakathi kuka-2 no-4 kg, kodwa ingxenye yodwa izobe ingumfilo othandiwe — okusele kungukhozi olubheke laphandle.

Lungiselela isambatho bese ususwa imikhakha ecamagu, isambatho sendlunkulu kanye nezemilenze. Isambatho elisemandleni likhona ekusenisweni — umhlana nomhlangothi.

Ilama inohlonzwano olubheke. Bulela elingweni: izinwele ezikhanyo, ezinhle nezide kungukhozi lokukhanya (guard hair). Phakathi kwazo kukhona okufakwa — umfilo omuhle, olwavisile nokunambitheka. Kuyadingeka ukuhlukanisa omabili.

Thabela elingweni ngalinye bese udonsa izinwele ezikhanyayo ezikude nokufakwa. Le nqubo ibizwa ngokuthi dehairing futhi ibanda kakhulu kodwa esidingekayo — guard hair ku-filo iyenza ibe nokungcina nokufakwa kobhubhane. Abantu base-Andes benza lokhu ngesandla okweminalini.

Londiselela okufakwa okuhlukanisiwe emanzini amelting (30-35°C). Njengenye indlela yealpaca, ilama inembalula encane noma akukho lanoline. Shiyeka umswakama iminithi engu-20 ngaphandle kokugwaza. Ukunambitheka okumuse kunganele.

Geza emanzini okuwela okuvame-vame okwanda okufakwa. Susa umswakama ngaphandle kokuzibingelela. Lungiselela kunethiwedi noma ithawuli emunxwaneni ukuze kumane. Okufakwa ilama kukhoma ngokushesha ngenxa yokuswela komlotha.

Ngemuva kokukhumba, dula emfilo umhlang wakho bese ususwa izinwele ezikhanyayo ezisele. Ikhwalithi ye-filo yokugcina incike ngqo ekukhalityi kale hlukani.

Donsa kaningizane elingweni ngalinye lokufakwa okukhomile ukuvula isakhiwo semfilo nosula imlilo. Okufakwa ilama kumfishi ncane ngaphandle kwe-alpaca — sebenza ngonulelo.

Lokela okufakwa okumuhle kancane ku-carda bese udlula i-carda yesibili ngamakhulumo amuhle. Umfilo we-ilama umfishi, ngakho-ke carda ngemiphumela embalula — 4 no-5 azanele. Ungalenzi amandla.

Gqamani umfilo owacheshwe ekutheni izilindri ezikhaya. Amacala okufakwa ilama amakhulu futhi amathopha kunealpaca. Abakha bona ezikalosini.

Ukhothalisa umthi womklama ku-axle ye-spindle. Kufa okufakwa okumfishi ilama, i-spindle eringaniswe kahle ilusebenza njengokunye — umsikilishe omningi ungaconsa umlilo ngesikhathi sokuqala.

Jiyela elingweni lokufakwa ku-guide ngemhlangano omnengi (10 cm). Umfilo omfishi udinga abantu abakhulu bokunxwanywa oku lokubamba kahle uma i-twist ifinyelela.

Jiya i-spindle bese udonsa umfilo ngamachimo amakhulu (5-8 cm ngamaxesha). Okufakwa ilama kumfishi kunealpaca noma izimvu — ema-stretches emade icosha umfilo. Okwebitsha okuqhubekayo kufaka okufakwa okumfishi.

Qhubeka nengqondo: donsa umfilo ombalula, vumela i-twist ifinyelele, bophele ku-axle. Umthi we-ilama unokubonakala uma lungezigqi kunealpaca — lokhu kunormal bese kunike umhlonzani wo-filo.

Fiye amafuso amabili enqwaba yomthi ozinzile bese uwathinta ndawonye ngosesande oluphambi. Umthi othweswe amahlonga amabili unolwandle kakhulu futhi uyalubeka izikhwele enqwabeni yomthi ozinzile.

Londiselela umthi othweswe emanzini amelting iminithi engu-20, susa kaningizane bese ubeke umthwali omuhle ukuze ukhome emandleni. Lokhu kulungisa i-twist ngokusimeme.

Bophela umthi okhomile ekumetheni, ubophele ezindaweni ezimbili. Umthi wokufakwa ilama unobushushuluze, ubuhle kanye nokuhle ekwakhiwe kwemibhede, imigqomo kanye nesinqwelezeqo.

Ungahlali ushiye isambatho esihlukanisiwe — silunga elikahle ekwakhiwe izinsinga eziqinile, izinambithelo zecarpeti, noma ukugcwalisa. Abantu base-Andes basebenzisa onke amathuluzi omvelo we-ilama.
