charlie the alpaca handspun

one large skein (and technically a smaller skein hidden behind it) of sheen-y black alpaca handspun, in about a DK weight

Fiber from Circle R Ranch. 100% alpaca, from Charlie the alpaca.

  1. 3 skeins of handspun yarn, 1 large and 2 small. One of the small skeins is a little more inconsistent weight than the other two - this one was spun on drop spindle about 2 years ago. The other two are about a sport or maybe a DK weight. All three are a gold colorway with tiny hints of orange and a pale light green.
