The Wheel... part II

This cat likes to steal my seat and as such I've used her to model with my 1st ball of yarn.

100% western Pennsylvania
alpaca.

So you see my skeinwinder next to my laptop.



I do things while I do this, mostly watch various videos.

The cat like most cats is curios about soft fuzzy things.

I haven't washed this fiber and it is quite dirty. I wonder how different it will be after I wash it. I think that that will not happen until after I knit it.

To keep the dust down, I've used a waterless shampoo for cats. I spray it on the raw fiber right after I spread it on the carder, just a little.

then I spray it again when I draw it out into the squiggly stuff to spin.

my hands end up pretty dirty. I think they'll get dirty when I knit this stuff too.

I do actually have a bit of carded alpaca that I bought at silver something in Gibsonia. I think I'll try spinning that up.
