I'm a bit late posting this, but haven't had much time this week with Spinzilla going on.
I've never enrolled for Spinzilla before, but realised I had a lot of preparation to do, plus, just as important, there were bobbins to be emptied in readiness. Most were just wound off and set aside, but I found one bobbin half filled with some black alpaca that I'd started spinning for my friend Sarah, months ago! Seemed like a good opportunity to get it finished and delivered.
This is what I was faced with!! But it didn't take too long to pick out all the bits and fluff up the fibre.
Then hubby decided to get involved and help (not)!!
I didn't card this, just spun from the cloud so it was pretty quick to do. Finished skein :-
Mission accomplished!
Errr, except I then found this half bobbin of what looks suspiciously like Sarah's black alpaca! Ooops!
This is a clear case of tripping myself up by not labelling my bobbins. I have no idea what the other half bobbin was, but I imagine it could have been alpaca, just not Sarah's alpaca. I'll just have to spin the rest of this bobbin and give her both skeins!
