It's a little half way through the Tour de Fleece 2012 on Ravelry. I've already spun up 12.4oz of fiber. 4.3 of that is punta from
The Sheep Shed Studio that I handdyed.
The rest is part of a 1lb raw fleece spinning challenge for one of the teams I am on. It is black alpaca blended with wool and a bit of silk.
Each skein is a blend of 2oz of alpaca, .75oz of Romeldale/ColumbiaX wool and .125oz of kettledyed silk.
The silk gets laid on the drum carder during the final card. I split the alpaca/wool blended batt into four quarters. The silk goes on between the first and second, and the third and fourth.
I've got three skeins finished and a fourth ready to be spun. That puts me halfway through the 1lb alpaca goal.
