Spinning At Last

After dinner, I pulled out my Ashford Student Spindle. Pulled off some fiber from an Alpaca and Tussah Silk roving and reviewed what I'd watched on the DVD last night. Here are the results:

I am now confirmed in my belief that the cheap dyed roving I bought two years ago was 90% of my problem, the other part was not knowing about drafting and parking. I can save that roving to thrum some mittens or something. I will continue to work with the alpaca and silk until I order some Black Mountain Welsh and maybe some BFL. My fingers are tired, but have that odd sort of lanolin feel.
