Mmm, Alpaca


Mmm, Alpaca, originally uploaded by Bright Side.

Here's how I'm getting on with the alpaca fleece I bought at the guild fleece day. It's gorgeously soft. I'm trying to not put too much twist into it, as I don't want it to end up looking and feeling like twine. I reckon I've spun just over 100g or so at the moment. I'm going to just fill this bobbin, then put it into a centre pull ball to ply.

This looks lovely, did you wash the fleece before you spun it?

Thanks :) No washing, but I did card it first to get the worst of the dust out. Plus I find I spin a bit more evenly if I card it.

I've got some grey that I bought at the Guild sale, so soft and clean, think I will do the same as you.

I adore that colour! I may need to add some chocolate alpaca to my stash
