After a long hiatus from my wheel, I was inspired to get back to it by this:
It’s alpaca/merino/silk fiber in Dublin Lake from Kris, The Painted Sheep. Absolutely yummylicious fiber, and beautiful colors! It was wonderful and very easy to spin. I managed to get the whole 4oz of singles on the bobbin.
I wound it into a center-pull ball.
And here it is as a 2-ply. I was lazy and didn’t measure the wpi, but it is worsted-ish.
Skeined up!
Up close. I love how the colors blended together.
I got about 110 yards. I think it would make a nice scarf.

That is gorgeous – I love it! I would totally love to learn how to spin someday. (Basically, if it involves thread or yarn, or can be related to anything crafty, I want to learn it.)

It’s lovely. I have just started spinning using a spindle. I hope to try a wheel some day and spin pretty yarns like yours.
