Sneak Peek

Here's a sneak peek of 4 out of the 5 handspun yarns I finished this week. I only have one photo of Greentea (Alpaca/Corriedale) and the alpaca/llama blend didn't cooperate at all. I think it's because the color of the yarn consists of white, teal & brown.

Hi! Jen S from Twitter - those are some gorgeous handspuns. I am in awe and particularly like Green Tea on the Corriedale Alpaca. Of course, I'm partial to greens and aplaca!
