Socks that Rock
from The Fold
laceweight
from Yarn Hollow
8 oz natural dark alpaca with teal wool
6 oz natural CVM top
from Sheepy Thyme
and some bartering...
I don't remember the fiber contents of these but I traded a spindle and a bit of cash with Amy of Jehovah Jireh for these gorgeous rovings
I don't know how I missed it on Saturday but I fell in love with Gypsy, the alpaca's ( 1 lb, 9 oz) fleece (from Meadowsong Alpacas) on Sunday while pointing things out to Kazoo Shannon.
She snatched it up and offered to split it with me but my sad face (want it, want it, WANT IT!) and the offer of a few spindles convinced her to send it on home with me (Em and I are carding up a little something special to share with Shannon). The color's somewhere in between the two pics but...oooh, look at the crimpy crimp!

Look at all these beauties!
Score! Awesome haul!
The crimp alone is beautiful!
yummmmmmmm...that paca IS lovely! and you got some of the teal/black alpaca roving that i meant to go back for *kicks self*...i'll have to remember a BIG bag next time :-) glad i ran into you and em, it's been too long!
I can't tell you how much I love, love the square spindle. So worth it. I'm spinning up some of that white/pink/purple roving I got for Nan. It spins beautifully, but feels like crap...LOL Definitely an outerwear kind of yarn.
