The Saga continues.

posted in alpaca, fleece, spinning |

More spinning today.  I got the alpaca yarn done.  Phew.

I’m very happy with it.  And now I need to think of what I want to knit with it.P7244386

This is what I finished today.

This is all of it together.

Three days of spinning  totals about 13 ounces, 1440 yards.   I have lots more of this fleece.

Wendy sent me a picture of Prada so you can see how it all started.  Imagine my surprise to realize that Prada is actually a girl.  Here she is.  She’s pretty cool.  I hope I did her fleece justice.

    She’s lovely and your spun fibre is gorgeous. :) I really like all her different colours. Sort of a calico Alpaca! Now, what will it become? LOL

    Hey there, Janet! I found your lovely blog while searching for the answer to an alpaca question that I have. Your yarn looks just gorgeous and the beastie that provided it is quite handsome herself.

    I am wondering if you hand carded this wool, and if so could you please tell me what size carders (72 point or 108 point) you used. I have just received a magnificent gift of a massive garbage bag full of various alpaca wool, including some baby fleece. My problem is that I don’t have carders yet, so I’m looking for some advice.

    Thanks a lot,
    Jenny
