in the beginning

12 ounces of 15.5 micron natural merino combed top; big ideas.  Just over 130 yards of finished 2-ply so far.  The softest and most delicate yarn I've spun yet.  Simple, clean, pretty.

spinning, focus, glow

The ivory lines criss-cross on the spindle, building up slowly.  I'm taking my time; breathing; thinking.  Smiling a lot.

So freaking beautiful! First of all, your spinning is so amazing, and knowing what this yarn will become makes it all the more special. (There is a photo on my blog which depicts me in awe, seeing this yarn in person for the first time. Funny!)

*sigh* I saw these pics in your flicker and was totally smitten. It's amazing how perfect it looks and how delicate. I think that spinning suits you.
