Spinning a yarn...baby alpaca!
I love working with alpaca. Such a wonderful fiber and oh so soft. For the first skein I took about 2oz cria (baby alpaca) I purchased during a road trip in southern Oregon, some mulberry silk (you know its a fav of mine) and some Moreno wool to give some bounce and memory.
I only got about 120 yards from the batch but oh what a lovely baby hat this will be!
I also decided to use some more Moreno, and silk to make another yarn. With this one however, some of the cria locks were dyed. I think it gives such a lovely pop.
As of now I am almost out of spinning fiber! It all goes so fast! Guess this means I had better get to knitting/selling my creations...and buying more fiber.
Tell me if you like the post. Upvote me too!
Happy spinning!
