I was a spinning machine in the beginning and then this week I've totally run off the rails due to extra work duties. I believe I did accomplish more than I would have without the Tour going on so I'm happy with the result.There's always next year...Have a great weekend! Isn't it awesome to spin some Alpaca after spinning other things for awhile?AllyBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09725757369290716724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8193450499711699622.post-71781830046329035552011-07-23T11:57:36.189-06:002011-07-23T11:57:36.189-06:00I love the slightly thick and thin quality of the ...I love the slightly thick and thin quality of the TM yarn - those yarn balls look awesome.

Then the small 'factory' added 1/2 sheep wool and after it came back to us as yarn we needed to wash it many times. It was unbelievable warm. I made pullovers and my mother made blankets by waving.<br />Best wishes from Teje & NeroTeje Karjalainenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16737386960364740858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8193450499711699622.post-31233354347560027662011-07-23T07:43:14.790-06:002011-07-23T07:43:14.790-06:00Thanks everyone.

I do love the photo of your dog with the spindle. <br /><br />Just remember to never look at spinning as a chore...because then it's not fun and you won't enjoy it. I spin so much because it's my relax time.
