Fleece on Earth

No recipe to post, because I didn't really cook. Beth came over to show off her beautiful new wheel (and yarn!) and I spent the day plying some 2-year old laceweight I had been meaning to "get around to" for a while. It was a tussah silk-alpaca-merino-silver glitter blend (and I sort of think it might have had 5% cashmere in it) from Lambspun of Colorado, and I spun it intending to give it to a friend who wanted a lace scarf. I think since it's been so long I should probably knit her the scarf instead of just giving her the yarn now.

My Schacht was behaving really well (I think it was because it wanted to show off for Beth; Beth thinks it was worried I would replace it with a Louet) so I couldn't seem to stop plying. Beth was shamefully neglected because I got both bobbins of singles plied off, mostly onto one bobbin. The remainder wound off into a nice little mini skein of about 50 yds that I think is between a fingering weight and a laceweight. I tried to take pictures this morning. As you can see, I had very helpful help.

Oh, the cuteness...


Got it!
