Baby alpaca

I finally completed spinning and plying the black baby alpaca a couple of weekends ago.  The plying took nearly three hours in an epic session on Sunday afternoon -  it felt like I had been spinning and plying this for months.   However, since the resulting yarn is so soft and fine, I feel it has been well worth all the effort!

2 ply, just under 4oz, approx 416 yds WPI 20-22

Now I'm taking a break from alpaca while I spin up some muted red merino that I have in my stash.   At the back of my mind I still have ideas for the orange & black and the lime green & black mixes (based on the chocolate theme.....mmmm!!) it is now a question of just deciding if I spin singles or a plied yarn.....Decisions, decisions....
