Well, I adore the Wonder Why Gal and she adores Suri Alpaca, so I selected a beautiful blend of 70% grey suri and 30% white merino.
The lovely pencil roving arrived at the end of August. I was able to begin spinning it in early September and finished it last weekend. I think pencil roving is my favorite to spin from.
The final result is 4 ounces and 252 yards.
In other Fiber Arts News: I am working on my first pair of socks, but I will have to share that next time. :-)
I hope you are having a beautiful Fiber Arts Friday and that you spend some time visiting the lovely Fiberistas who have linked in over at Wisdom Begins in Wonder.

Three things I love ... WW alpaca, pencil roving, and suri!
The yarn is beautiful! I love everything in Andrea's shop, you are so lucky!
Sorry about the cria, but at least you have another one to look forward to, and a Halloween baby would be fun!
Ooh, gorgeous!!!!
That yarn looks yummy! Glad you enjoyed Whirlwind.
Nice job.
