This weekend was a great time. Lots of fiber was fondled, spun, picked, cleaned, and prepped!
Friday evening, my latest fiber club installment was sitting on my doorstep.
Organic merino in the Twilight colorway.
The next morning was spinning guild. I really like having a dedicated morning each month to spin. Currently on my Joy is one of the fibers of the month from Spunky Eclectic
By the afternoon, I was picking through some alpaca with a certain knitter, going from this:
to this:
Don't you just want to dive into that? A pup decided to check out our trash pile.
After several hours, I took my fiber home and filled the washer with several bags. Then I got to combing and making roving with my fancy diz (aka a peanut can lid)!
I still have a lot more alpaca to prep, but I am hoping to spin enough of it finely enough to do a shawl of some kind.

I recognize that unclean alpaca. Looks like you guys had fun.
Gorgeous Spunky stuff and I can't wait to see what you knit up with that fluffy alpaca!
Dude! These totally didn't show up in my reader! :(
I heart some Spunky Eclectic! So far all my favorite fibers have come from her. And you are soooo far ahead of me on the processing! I haven't even thrown any in the wash yet!
If you're feeling up for it I'm pretty much free all this weekend again. Maybe I can throw some in the wash and start picking through the rest. You're more than welcome to join me!
