I like how it came out, though now that I look at the pictures I think it's a smidge underplied. I may run it through the wheel again and tighten it up a bit.
It's nice and soft, and though it looks hairy, the fiber is fine enough that it's more of a halo. It's a total of 605 yards and 67 grams, approximately 4100 ypp. The singles were ~75 wpi, and the two-ply is ~60 wpi.
I think I'm going to dye this a rich red and use it to weave something. The yarn is quite inelastic and pliable, and should drape beautifully.
The suri looks nice....I can almost feel it's silkiness!
ReplyDeletewow...there is that DIME again...amazing stuff!
ReplyDeletebeautiful! the softness translates nicely! yummy!
ReplyDeleteThat is lovely. The alpaca was called Ferdinando, I found the details when I was tidying up yesterday.
ReplyDeleteWonderful! I can't wait to see what you do with it.

Wow, super spinning. Lovely yarn.
