Some spinning...

I've done some more custom spinning of the alpaca fleeces for a customer. Rich black alpaca, spun about 8 ply, as well as one of my favourites, amethyst shade of merino and tussah silk, with sequins. I love the way the tussah silk creates ribbon-like waves through the yarn. There is some white alpaca yarn bursting off the bobbins, too, crying out for plying. Soon...

That looks stunning! I love Tussah silk, it is my favourite thing to blend with merino and I love that the 2 dye so differently shadewise so you can still tell where the tussah is.

Great job Wen!!
