Spinning

I've been spinning up a storm. I'm using fibers that come naturally colored from the animal. I have a gorgeous collection of beautiful browns. First I spun up a mix of alpaca, angora and pollworth wool. This is soooo soft, like spinning a cloud. It is just wonderful, a light off-white with sprinklings of light and medium browns. Then I chose a lovely medium brown with white flecks roving that is a mix of alpaca, shetland and angora. I did spin up a mix of merino and border leicester that is a natural brown mixed with a lime green dyed wool, very pretty. Right now, I am spinning up a medium brown shetland roving. When I'm all done, I'll have to come up with projects to make, hopefully combining these beautiful yarns.
