White Alpaca Navajo Plied Yarn

In September I began spinning up this White Alpaca, using the same process I used when spinning up my Fawn Alpaca. I split my 8 oz of White Alpaca into fourths and placing each fourth into a separate bucket. Then I began spinning up each fourth until I had a full bobbin.

Then I took the full bobbin off and replaced it with an empty bobbing so that I could start the navajo plying process. When I'd have a full bobbin of newly navajo plied yarn, I'd wind it off onto my niddy noddy and make a skein, then went and washed my new skein.

I ended up with 3 skeins of Navajo Plied White Alpaca, the third and last skein being finished today. I have it drying right now, tomorrow if its fully dried I'll figure out the yardage, ounces, and grams and list it on my website as well as etsy.
