After yesterday's experience, I checked the pasture as soon as it was light. As expected, I found an alpaca embryo. It's a setback for us and a real emotional blow.

If there is any good news in the whole experience, it's that Chloe appears to be healthy. She's one of our favorites. (Actually, we have nine alpacas and nine favorites!)

I finished plying the second batch of Pinero's yarn last night and I pulled it off into a skein this morning. So far, I have 1654 yards and 15.8 ounces of lovely 2-ply yarn from Pinero's fleece. I'll probably spin more today.

One the spinning wheel: More Pinero.
On the knitting needles: practice swatch
Crochet Hooks, Skirting Board, & Drum Carder: nothing
On Deck: a gray huacaya & black suri blend
