Finished 3 Ply Alpaca Yarn

It always amazes me how that huge mass of roving winds up filling just 3 bobbins!
Spun and plied
Drying rack
My goal with this yarn was just to keep the softness. I wanted my finished yarn to feel as soft as the roving (and it pretty much does). I had to put alot of twist in the singles to keep it together and it made plying more difficult.

Wow.
You have been buzy.
It looks very soft.
Have you weighed the yarn yet?
Happy spinning.

Jody,
It looks beautiful and soft. Nice job on the spinning.

How many ounces of roving to get - how many yards of yarn? That was lots of work. Your spinning is beautifully consistent.

Once again....beautiful spinning Jody! I'm so envious of what you've accomplished. That's a lot of work that you did there, but then again is it work? I don't think so :)
