From fluff to stuff

On By CarynIn Craft

I finished another cake of yarn and thought it would be fun to show the pictorial progression of fluff to stuff.

Alpaca fleece, skirted (shaken out and undesirable areas and some vegetable matter removed).
Carding and blending washed alpaca fleece.
Rolags created from carding.
Three spun singles being plied into yarn.
Plied yarn transferred to a niddy noddy and ready to be set (wetted and allowed to dry).
Skein of yarn on a swift to help hold the yarn while making a yarn cake with a winder
Finished yarn cake (well, now I need to make something with the yarn, but that is another story).
