The lovely Sopranospinner is back in town and gifted quite a lot to me this weekend! See the alpaca? See the big bag?Actually, she gave me two bags, but the first one has pretty small cuts, too small to spin. BUT not too small too felt I'm thinking, and I'm going to experiment with that soon.
I have been making felted beads lately and I'm curious if alpaca will "go there." Time to research alpaca washing. I hear they have no lanolin. No grease.
Also, I got a big tin of unwanted Wilton's dyes... Score! But which ones to try first?
In closing, Alex and I are meant to go to brunch today and I'm already wondering how I can avoid overeating. I have some fantastic problems to sort out today, no?

Lucky you! Have fun with all of that alpaca, and all of those dyes.
Ooh, I never thought of felting! Then again, I don't think about felting much...
Glad you're enjoying the stuff!
Camisole knitting is going well. Right front will be finished today, left front cast on. I'm hoping to be blocking the pieces on Thursday. Time to spare!
