Selbuvotter mittens in black and fawn alpaca. I have used this colour combo twice before shown here

Selbuvotter gloves, also in handspun alpaca. My first time doing these fingers and the tops are turning out crappy I think.
This moorit merino fleece is going to take forever to wash! I still have white and dark brown to finish washing too.
Same fleece combed on mini combs. There's alot of waste because of the amount of damage on the tips. Whats left is nice and soft.
Spinning wool is so different from spinning alpaca. Alpaca can be more challenging because it doesn't stick together nicely like wool. I must learn to spin even finer with wool as it likes to pouf up after washing.

It certainly looks like the end result is worth all the work that went into it. Beautiful!
Wow.
Love the colours.
You are a very skilled knitter and spinner!
Do you know that I love only about one hour from the village of Selbu :-)
