Custom Alpaca Blend Handspun

Here’s the first skeins from the carded roving in this earlier post. It’s a two ply spin and measures up to be 10 – 12 WPI, which places it in the worsted/DK category.

Content:

  • 75% Alpaca, Origin: Washington State, from the raw fleece, washed, combed and carded by me.
  • 10% Lincoln Longwool, from prewashed fleece, combed and carded by me.
  • 10% Merino Wool
  • 5% Silk
172 yards
67 yds

I’m not sure if I’ll dye them. I had wanted to try yarn dyeing originally, and I may still do that, but for now I’m leaving them natural.

Take care and thanks for reading 🙂
