Alpaca yarn

In spite of the KittyBoy to make it his bed, I finished a couple bobbins of alpaca singles and 2-plied two skeins worth amounting to 488 yards.

I am blending a 10 oz batt purchased at Alpacas on the Rocks, and some 8 ounces of fleece I purchased at the Alpaca Extravaganza in Longmont (6 oz after scouring).  The two are not the same shades of morrit or rose-grey, but sort of kind of close. I am exact that way.

I am alternating portions as I spin the singles, resulting in random color combining while plying.  After setting the twist and drying, I like what I have.

The singles were spun finely, with a backwards long draw, so the yarn is woollen (more or less).  I have nothing in mind at this point for a finished product, and I still have probably 2/3’s still to spin.
