Spinning - Suri Alpaka - contract

remember raptor ? Spinning - Suri Alpaka - contract
i started spinning a bit of it :D fighting with it to be pretty on the drum carder ... and the battle is a big battle
the fleece was prewashed, sadly suri is SOOOOOO hard to get it clean when its fine, it had a lot of dust hidden in the locks

so after spinning those first 2 skeins, i desided to rewash the rest ...
and to get it dry it took a while *yawns*
rain and rain and rain and some more rain over germany ....

Spinning - 2 Blue 2 Green 1 Purple Merino

in between the contracts, i did some 100 gram for my pleasure again
i will order some more, to have enough for a shawl or a top
it will be probably a 2 ply - with itself, so i guess it will be loud with the colour mix, but ... hey ... why not :D

Spinning - Suri Alpaka - contract

today i got some lovely fleece of raptor, an suri alpaca from USA

here the HUGE bag full, and some silk to blend into a part of it

Spinning - golden + copper merino

here i did the carding, Carding fun
and now its spun.

i plyed it over a thin cream silk thread, and did some "boobles" sarah anderson calls it knopp yarn

a little knitting test to see how it looks, and a lovely big skein :D

Carding fun

after the challenges where done, i had still some small bits of copper, gold and brown
i seperated them evenly

and carded a few batts

then downscaling the whole thing to make it easier to handle :D

Spinning - Huacaya Alpaka - Ole and Pepe

 

the last weeks i was working on those fantastic fleeces of ole and Pepe, see the first post here Spinning - Huacaya Alpaka - Ole and Pepe
and sent them back home on friday

it was 470 grams, in 5 skeins, n-plyed, roughtly 150 to 170 meters on 100 gram

i was so happy to get the drumcarder helping me with this load, and i can just dream on and on of the fluffyness of the carded batts :D
i made each batt 50 grams, and spun a batt a day, and then i spent a day for plying

and on and on and on i spun, i guess you get the idea :D
