I've been doing some spinning now that the weather has cooled down a bit. I decided to pull out the green alpaca that I bought last year at Rhinebeck. Finally! It was soooo wonderful to spin - soft like butter.
I'm planning to ply it with the remainder of my chocolate brown llama fiber from Saratoga LLamas. I think it will be a beautiful mix - what do you think? The Rowing Cat is already coveting the yarn to come!
This is a beautiful merino spun with KnitPicks Palette yarn. This is destined to be a Christmas hat and mitts for a certain niece of mine ;-)
Here are my latest socks made with Shibui Sock Yarn. I have another pair started - you can never be without a pair of socks on the needles!

I love the brown llama fiber you spun! I just spun some llama on a dropspindle and I really like it :)
Good to see you back!
Your spinning looks lovely! Alpacas are soft to pet, I can't imagine how nice it is to spin. :)
I just picked up my first Shibui sock yarn anxious to knit with it.
