The Spinning Guy

In this blog, I'm going to talk about alpacas, fiber, spinning, and I'm going to generally try very hard to keep my readers posted about what's on my skirting board, what's on my spinning wheel, and what I'm knitting or crocheting.

Pictures of Pinero's Yarn

It's the end of January and I haven't finished spinning Pinero's fiber yet. But, I have pictures.



Here's a picture showing a single on my spinning wheel.



And two singles under slightly different lighting.

Note the natural variation in this fleece. Pinero is a medium to dark gray alpaca with some darker areas on his back -- as well as a few white spots. If you look at the yarn, you will notice darker and not so dark sections as well as occasional flecks of white. This is the natural variation in gray alpacas that I find so much fun to work with.

I took a bunch of pictures of Pinero's fiber, but none of them really turned out. Taking good pictures of fiber is hard -- and my antique digital camera doesn't help.

On the wheel: Pinero and I'm close to finished.
On the needles: The practice project I'm once again avoiding
Nothing else in progress.
