Grey Alpaca and a Sock Blend

Some lacey socks I am knitting from an alpaca/bamboo/merino blend. I wanted to see what kind of yardage I would get from a skein. I think I could have made the leg longer because I have quite abit left. I am already at the toe. This is some of the yarn I will be selling at Alpaca Ontario.
The finished yarn on the bottom pics is 410 yards of a handcombed grey alpaca and kid mohair. It's soft and shiney.......almost a pewter colour. I have decided to use this yarn for a pattern from Lace Knitting of Estonia. Everything in it is so beautiful but I haven't knit alot of lace so it will be challenging!
