Newly spun wool


The process of taking raw fleece and ending with a wearable item is fascinating. Alpaca fiber is a wonderful soft and luxurious medium to work with. And the end result is a warm hat or pair of cozy socks. I am limited in what I can knit (4 toothpick needles for knitting socks is terrifying to me!).
I am not sure what I will make with the spun yarn in the picture above. My spinning still lacks uniformity. Actually I prefer it this way but not sure a customer would.

For now I will continue to spin and work on my technique.

(BTW I apologize for my photography..Sam did not take this photo..obviously).
