I am counting down the days until I get to start with the pink. Its so hard to spin when I'm at work 50 odd hours a week and and school 20 hours a week. But the end product is always worth it. I have some really pretty alpaca/soy that is natural in color. I plied it to itself because it would wreck the effect of the natural browns and grey-whites. Maybe it would make a studly toque for a certain dad?? I think I would have enough at 186 yards at a worsted weight? If not then my mom will have a cute toque. Remember that these are unprocessed fibers and could potentially felt if put in the washing machine (reminder to momma).
