Spinning...

First time spinning in twenty-mumble years... This is what 4-oz of llama fiber and a bottom weighted drop spindle look like.. :)



I can not decide if I am disappointed that it took me half of the fiber to remember how to do it, or if I am amazed that it only took half the fiber to remember how to do it... lol



Once it is spun, you have to 'set' the twist... I am hoping that hot water works the same on llama fiber as it does on sheeps wool.



I will say, the llama fiber is such a (soft) joy to work with... I may need to get a llama...

I have pretty much decided to buy the lot of unprocessed lllama fiber from e-bay... I wonder if it will take more or less than half of that to remember my carding skills... lol
