It has been a while since I posted something that I have made. I think that this yarn is really nice. The gray roving that is the foundation is a combination of black alpaca, Beringer, and light fawn alpaca, Celeste, and white Merino from genopalatte.
As I was spinning each single, I held and added the colored silk that I had dyed last spring. I just had to knit a little swatch before I skeined it up and, oh, my, did it ever feel good in my hands. Unfortunately, when I took a picture of the swatch, I had forgotten to replace the memory stick, and didn't realize it until I pulled the knitting out.
Was kind of a bad morning because I took the skein outside to photograph, came back in and realized that I had left the lens cap on. If you want to see more pictures of this yarn and the alpacas that grew it, look here.

Gorgeous yarn, sad, frustrating story!!!!
Very nice. I love the way the colors pop out of the grey.
That yarn is really gorgeous! I bet it'll sell before I have spare cash. :-( You really did have an off day! Hope your next photo session goes a bit better for you. :-)
What gorgeous yarn! I love that you introduce us to the alpacas who grew it. It makes it so much more personal.
Oh, that yarn is yummy!!!!
