Cinnamon Spinning ~

When I ordered this lovely fiber from Taylored Fibers in the fall of 2012, I asked Barry (one of the owners) if he had any of the lovely cinnamon alpaca that I had seen spun into lovely ginger yarn. He said he did, and he would mix it with merino to make it hold its shape when knit, plus add a shot of silk for strength, shine and softness. When it arrived, it was oh-so-soft, and so lovely in color, more of a dark cinnamon then a red ginger.
After finishing the spinning on the bright white Chevoit, I thought this would be the perfect change of spinning for me until I could ply the Chevoit. This cinnamon is spinning so smooth and soft, I can't wait to see how it plys!
