So first I took this:


(that pinkish one on the bottom there- purchased at The Gathering)

And spun it into this:


(spun long draw woolen, then navajo plied!)

And then, over Thanksgiving, I knit it into this:


(colors not so great on this picture, and the pattern gets lost in the yarn, but whatevs 'cause I loves it)


After that, I took this:


(gorgeously soft Alpaca purchased at Rhinebeck)

And spun it, single ply, into this:


WAAAAAAAA!!! WASH AND WHACK! WASH AND WHACK!


(Aaaaahhhhhhhhh....)

Now I'm spinning this:




So that gray Alpaca- the curly, prewashed single. As insane as that looks, I could have swum in a pool of unwashed single like that and drowned in it, and been a happy, happy woman. If I wasn't so eager to begin knitting a manly cowl for KEN, WHO ACTUALLY WANTS SOMETHING I SPUN AND KNIT (will wonders never cease...) I would have just left it all active and curly like that and just loved it up.
