I'm currently spinning a blend of alpaca, silk and wool. I plan on chain plying it, making it a 3 ply yarn with finished. I'm not sure what I will make with it. It will depend on how many yards I get after plying. @Catsandbooks

bookishbitch @Catsandbooks It's what drew me to purchase it. I normally spin a lot of natural colors. 2mo

I finished spinning some laceweight vicuña yarn recently. It is an expensive fiber due to availability. This is .3 of an ounce and was a bucket list fiber for me. #showandtelltuesday #litsycrafters Hosted by @Catsandbooks

Catsandbooks Wow! Looks so soft! 🌟 2mo
bookishbitch @Catsandbooks It is one of the softest fibers in the world to spin! It feels amazing. 2mo
PaperbackPirate What are you going to make with it? 😍 2mo
bookishbitch @PaperbackPirate It will likely end up as an accent area in a project I have in mind for some qiviut yarn I also spun. Although I'm about to spin some cashmere too, so it might depend on how well the colors go together with either yarn. 2mo
tpixie Gorgeous 2mo
Lindy Lovely! I can imagine the softness. Did you make the bowl also? My current project, End Times by Amy Gunderson, is using up small balls of qiviut purchased at my guild‘s fibre auction. 2mo
bookishbitch @Lindy I did not make the bowl. It is from a company called scout and bean. I have several in various blues. Your project looks lovely! 2mo
Lindy @bookishbitch Thanks Marie. 2mo
