Blue Ribbons - Yay!

Hard work pays off. That dreamy blue and white BFL roving I blended on the hackles while at Fibre Week in Alberta took first place once I spun it up. When I got home from Canada I spun the blue and white roving and some green alpaca. Entered both in our county fair and won first place. YaY!

Here are some pics:

Both yarns
100% Alpaca - very soft!

Oh, I picked up this little number a few weeks ago.
Its "Ole Blue". A late 19th century spinning wheel.

Spin on!
