Alpaca Handspun

I finally finished spinning the alpaca fibre that was on my spindle. For the second half of the roving, I tried my new spindle. It was awesome. What a difference a well balance, sturdy spindle makes. I can get thinner, more uniform yarn and faster too! Also, there is less tendency to overspin.

I decided to leave it single ply. So, here it is, approx 345 meters. It felted slightly during the soak, which says something for our weather, I guess, as I was using normal tap water.
After finishing this, I could not stop spinning and and tried some of the new roving that came with the spindle. It drafts and spins so smoothly, it is really fun.

Spin Some More

Taking a small break from my knitting, I tried some spinning on my drop spindle. The roving is alpaca fibre my friend sent me last month. it is so soft and easy to spin. The yarn is coming out quite thin.
This is not a very clear pic but will have to do for now.
