Скачать или смотреть Plying and Finishing the Most Luxurious Fiber | Alpaca Silk Part III

Alpaca and silk, the most luxurious fiber I have ever spun is now a yarn, and it is so beautiful, it left me speechless! Join me as I ply and finish this project and marvel over how amazing it is. This 50/50 alpaca and silk blend is so incredibly soft. I was worried a bit about how much twist to put in for the ply, but thankfully, after some troubleshooting, everything turned out fine. .

Spinning this fiber blend was an absolute dream for me, and seeing it become such a beautiful yarn was nothing short of amazing. I am sure it will grow up to be very pretty once it comes off the needles.
