Mmmmm, Chocolate

I mean lovely chocolatey alpaca. It's beautiful! We got a sneak preview of the scarf pattern on Mim's blog the other day, so I had been looking forwarding to getting our package. Now I'll confess I haven't even touched the spinning wheel since about October, so the Pygora is sitting on my work table waiting patiently. But, the alpaca may have just moved to the top of the spinning queue.

I've just registered for a class on Spinning Lavish Luxury Yarns at the John C. Campbell Folk School in early January. I'll really be able to do the exotic fibers justice after that!
