White Wool. Or to be entirely accurate, as I strive to be, suri alpaca and tussah silk.
But close enough.
White, at least.
I call it Alpaca Clouds! Because it is. I bought the 3 oz. of this roving at the alpaca extravaganza last spring ‘to try’. It fell into the queue of ‘to be spun’ as the fibery stash is depleted (not really!) and the shelves of the shoppe fill up.
I started on it one night just to have something started before I went to bed.
Wowza! (another W!) I could tell from the start this was going to be different. And nice. Even special maybe.
2 ply, and 10-12 wpi, 148 yards of luscious ‘I am keeping this for myself!’
In fact, I bought a pattern just for it. It’s going to be Yarn Harlot’s Pretty Thing. (And I hardly ever buy a pattern.)
Is it the silk? Is it the suri? Is it the combination?
Well (there’s another W!), I have both in my stash, silk, that is, and suri...and I am going to do some experimenting, because I can do that! I am a scientistista, after all.
Stand back! Safety glasses and labcoats, one and all!
I must have more of this Wondrous (looky there!) stuff.
Check in with Dearest Sister at Just-a-mere tomorrow to see what she is up to. (No good, I wager!)

Well, (another W) if you aren't going to sell that wondrous stuff, how will the rest of us know that you truly are being accurate?
It is Wonderful, and I will be Watching to see it Worked up into that Winsome pattern.
Wow! (there's my W contribution! =D) That looks divine. And will look spectacular as a Pretty Thing (I love that pattern!).
You will be very Well-dressed when you Wear anything made from that out-of-the-World yarn!
It looks so Wonderfully soft! Nice spinning. My spun stash is growing faster than I can knit it up and I might just have to try out an etsy shop too! I am anxious to hear how yours is going.
Well, your Wispy White what-ever-you-call-it, will work well to ward of whatever windy weather wends your way!
We all certainly were well worded in this way, weren't we!
Whatever!
Thanks for playing along, and all the compliments.
Oooohhhh! That's all I really can say . . .
wow ;)
