I like the sound of the Fibonacci jumper

Wow, well done that little sister! I need to make friends with an alpaca owner

First skein of yarn

Probably the knobbliest around!

Not at all Shnoowie, you've done brilliantly

Keep that skein forever to remind yourself of that wonderful sense of achievement now that you have spun a whole skein. Quite genuinely, even if your spinning never improves (which it will) you could knit that skein up and it would look lovely and rustic. One day you will want to reproduce the lumpybumpy effect deliberately and you won't be able to

Time to start the next one

I agree fleecewife - I have tried to get a more rustic look for a project but just couldnt do it - all came out fine and even - I'll have to get an apprentice me thinks. A few years back I treated myself to a drum carder and the rolags fly out now but I must admit my OH turns the handle. Ouessant fleece is my nightmare but unusual to get black fleece. Happy spinning all. Jan
