I've completed quite a few outstanding projects in this past week.
The first was the final spinning of the Alpaca roving that I had bought in Taupo New Zealand back in 2011. 642 grams in two 'colours': Cairo and Chocolate - I'm guessing that was the names of the Alpacas. That has spun into just under 2000 yards of 2 ply equalling 636 grams - I lost a little :-)

The second was to finish off the scarves on the Leclerc Dorothy. These are now being knotted to completely finish them.

| 3 scarves |
The one to the far right (single colour) is for Isabel - she's already seen it via Skype and likes it. We'll post it home shortly. The other two (striped) will end up as gifts.
The third 'finish' is in the wool washing department. Anne ran a who bag through the wash and has done the final sort of the last bag of Clun Forest. Once that is done it is all washed and can be stored away until such time as we need it for the next project.

We ate off the coffee table for a night while the wool dried. The locks were sorted into the longest (for combing) and the rest (for drum carding).
