Spinning Update



In addition to all the top secret knitting I've been doing for the holidays, I have been doing quite a bit of spinning. I've completed the gray-overdyed-with-blue I purchased at North Country Fiber Fair. It ended up as a 1 pound, 13.5 ounce/1142 yard bouncing ball of Navajo-plied wool.


As for the Vulcan & friend spinning, it wasn't consistently working out the way I wanted to so now I'm spinning the alpaca and wool separately and then plying them together. It took a little bit to get used to how slippery the suri alpaca is, but it's fine now and I'm loving the results.
For a little bit, I was wondering why I bought so much; but now, I'm really glad I did.
