Fooled
I was so excited to finish off clue 3 on shawl 2 so I could start on the alpaca. I loved the colors, I had the beads and the silk ready for plying. I decided to sit down and predraft and YUCK! Don't get me wrong, the fiber is soft as anything and the color is great but it is FULL of VM. I mean very full. I could not go 4" without having to pick out stuff. I understand some VM but....come on.
See it is beautiful but some of the fun has been taken out of it plus I know I still have tons to pick out when I spin it. Guess I will just have to see past the yuck and enjoy the softness of the alpaca.

That's too bad about the VM as the combo is VERY beautiful!

Picking out VM is not fun! It really is a gorgeous color, though. I loved the beads you picked out for it....so nice!
BTW, I LOVE your new pic. You look so happy!
