Ingredients
100g of Pistachio Merino
1 bag of Pure Mulberry silk (white)
1 bag of raw Alpaca (white)
Method
First wash some white alpaca fleece and leave to dry. The drying process can be aided by gentle teasing and fluffing especially during times of irritability, stress or absent-mindedness.
Next, on a drum carder, add a layer pistachio merino wool, followed by a layer of pure mulberry silk and finally the teased and fluffed alpaca. Don't scrimp now, we want generous portions especially of the silk. When you think you've added enough.....add a little more.
And finally, blend to a smooth consistency, about three times through the carder should do it.
Leave somewhere cool until ready to serve....
...with a glass of chilled white wine and a good dollop of sunshine.....Enjoy :0)

I'm also rather pleased to be able to add a picture of something finished and blocked.
I'm quite pleased with it but the point is off-centre so it is a little botched but I still like it. I'm pleased with the fine spinning and I love the colour.
It looks rather like the beginnings of a Cheshire Cat blocking on my living room wall. I may just have to leave it there.
Happy crafting ... X x X
