Ooo, shiny.

I found some tussah/camel top that twistedchick passed on to me a year or two ago, and have been spinning it over the fold on my ebony spindle from Turnstyles.

I think there might be two ounces of the top at most, but it sure is pretty. If I ply it into laceweight, maybe I can make a beret out of it, or a skinny scarf?

Good idea! I am admiring of your skills, because I had some tussah/camel around as well and was just incompetent to spin it. So I sent it to a much more intrepid spinner pal. :-D

Where did you get your tussah/camel? Maybe I can get more -- even if it's in a slightly different colorway, it could work...

Oh, good question. It was a lady on Etsy, she had them done up in batt form. It was really nice stuff--no fault of hers that I had a hard time. Too bad I sent it to my friend in Canada, or I could be all, "Take this fiber--please!"

Oh, it was Laughingdogfish: http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=6571914 She's got nothing in her shop now, but maybe if you convo'd her?
