something you should know
Ok, so I'm really REALLY bad about suprises. I preemptively give them away, and i get so excited when they are actualised that i cant contain myself.
So, if you like suprises Othlon, look away IMMEDIATELY
Presenting 'Checkmate', handspun a la spider with black alpaca plyed on white alpaca. A total joy to spin and absolutely my favourite thing as yet. I may have to spin some more for myself :) though why did noone mention how hard it is to card alpaca when the hairs are so long?? But my neighbour gave me stacks of every colour she had with the promise of more when she ran out, so i aint gonna argue with free wool. and it's beautiful too! dirty but great colours and soooo soft :) stay tuned for caramel, peach and chocolate :p

It looks GORGEOUS and I know Othlon will love it - thank you so much!! I promise not to tell her - I'm pretty good at secrets and all that :) Now we just have to hope she doesn't read this blog until after Sunday!

hey pen. the black and white of that looks cool, and i am told that alpaca wool is really soft, and makes beautiful clothing. on a side note (and please excuse my ignorance), what is it?
