One Fleece Finished

With just a week break for the trip over to North Carolina I managed to turn out at least a skein a day.  Actual spinning time was about 4 hours from roving to 2-ply yarn. The skeins averaged out at 2 oz. each and around 76 yards.  This fleece was from Azul and had two main colors: a light tan/white and a darker mix going from grey through dark brown.  I didn't bother trying to sort the latter but rather just went for colored or white.  This worked out to about half and half as it turned out as I had 7 colored skeins and 8 white.

2lbs of Alpaca 2-ply yarn
The next project is to get the Christmas towels underway - I will have to dye the appropriate amount of cotton and then get the bobbins wound.
