Mmmmmalpaca…
Latest handspun:
Natural chocolate coloured alpaca, about 476 yards of light fingering weight. I have to confess to feeling fairly pleased with myself! It was such a pleasure to spin, too - practically threw itself onto the bobbin. I think I’m even more of an alpaca fan than when I was just knitting with the stuff!
It took a while at that weight, though, so I spun some aran weight Falkland this week as a quick n chunky project. Here it is:
There’s about 170 yards there, and it’s my first attempt at a 3-ply so I can see room for improvement but am overall pleased.

That looks good enough to eat (nearly!)!
