Spinning

I am finally spinning a bit.  I'm not out of my funk but am working on it. Life can just be too much at times. This is 50/50 Yak/Silk. A little slippery to spin but oh so lovely.  I was gifted this lovely fiber. 

Here's what I've spun so far. It will be approximately fingering weight when plied. It's going to take a while since arthritis in my thumbs is acting up, but then I'm not running a race so I'll just enjoy my short stints at the wheel.

    1. Yes, a real yak. I actually know someone up north in the state that has/had yaks, not sure if since she moved to a new property if she still raises them. She is a spinner.

  2. Lovely fiber and yarn-in-progress. So glad you are back to spinning some! I hope you do the holiday spin again this year so I can enjoy it vicariously.

    1. Nancy, I have to tell you I never got around to spinning last year's 12 Days of Christmas fiber - I think that's what I'll spin next.
      Thanks so much for reading my blog.
