Another beautiful roving set by Upstream Alpacas, a gorgeous and super soft alpaca silk blend.
The second I clear a bobbin, I'm onto the next!
This is why I needed the chain ply practice. These colors will want to stay together.

Ok. So. I have been working on this spinning project, I got this fade pack of roving braids (unspun wool) from my favorite wool vendor, Fossil Fibers. This beaut here
They come with 6 braids but I got 2 packs, so the same amount shown here. I have recently been fascinated by how much the colors will stray if you break them up by weight and am super into cable plied yarn because they are supposed to be resistant to pilling. And the cable ply is technically a 4 ply, so you need to make 4 singles. (Bottom left in diagram)
We have our ply plan and our wool. Time to split TWELVE BRAIDS BY WEIGHT. And lengthwise because we gotta get those color changes
This took me like 3 hours...
