Spinning projects
This is what I am currently spinning:
Its alpaca blended with firestar. I was given the alpaca by a coworker from the lab job, it was a very nice gift, but the giver didn't know anything about fiber and the bumps were full of neps and vm. A friend from my knitting group carded it for me and added some firestar to make it sparkly. Its much nicer to spin, but not something I would buy for myself I think.
This is my last spinning project, which is the nicest stuff I have spun so far. Its a mohair-cormo blend, and spun worsted so it has just a hint of a halo. Its sooo soft and snuggly, its going to make a gorgeous shawl (I've got about 400 yds of it).
