Dec 2012

I just finished spinning up some alpaca, silk and glitz in black, brown and gold. I spun for yardage and then realized it needed to be three plied to come up to lace weight.

I've got about 160 yards of it and I'm hoping it will do a lacy capelet on big enough needles. I also need to cast on the slate blue Corrie I spun up last spring, I need a new winter workhorse sweater.

Next thing will be some merino space dyed in the complete spectrum.
