In preparation

I finished spinning the alpaca fleece from Sugar Plum that I washed over a year ago. I had a brief moment of panic that it was the last bit, but then I found a half bag more unwashed in the closet.

Two-ply alpaca yarn

I’m thinking of starting up another long term project, but that is worked in small sections. I’ll give a big reveal later. For now, here are alpaca swatches drying over the tub to give you a hint (or thoroughly confuse).

From left to right: crochet, stockinette stitch, lace stitch all done in alpaca hand spun yarn and blocked on netting stretched over the bath tub

Upcoming will be a post detailing the project. Not the completed project, because it will take years and may never be “finished”, so maybe instead of a grand reveal, it will be the announcement of embarking on a journey.
