I got the kids off to school and fell asleep knitting...my SIL called and woke me up 3X. I gave up and will try again tonight. Maybe I will play in my seed basket before I go to bed to egg a good one on?!Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00647798372172407775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5789839.post-60147709719155516062009-03-06T10:33:00.000-05:002009-03-06T10:33:00.000-05:00I think that was a smaller spindle.

Total wt. 1.65 oz. lol.... of course, I can't remember what wt. you bought.<BR/><BR/>It was quite a night for dreams. I'm still thinking about mine.

Is it 15 grams or 18 grams? 1 oz or 1.2 oz. People! Once you wind on some yarn, it doesn't weigh that any more! Ha!

Judging by the size of your cop and the whorl, you probably are using a 3 inch cherry Golding Tsunami spindle which weighs 1.9 ounces on its own. The fiber is probably another 2 oz - you have a lot on there. All together with the fiber on it I'd say 3.9 ounces tops. Love your gray fiber btw.Manisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12095470993838863913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5789839.post-40243000515488288642009-03-05T09:54:00.000-05:002009-03-05T09:54:00.000-05:00I find that grey alpaca fleeces have so many shade...I find that grey alpaca fleeces have so many shades of grey within just one fleece. I guess thats what makes it so special. I am working on some alpaca sock yarn with an incredible grey fleece that is two toned (never seen one like it before). It has a very long staple and intense crimp. Will post about it on my blog soon :)Luv Joni too.Jodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15665272462573135734noreply@blogger.com
