Spinning the Most Luxurious Fiber | Alpaca Silk Part I

Join me for some relaxing fiber spinning on my spinning wheel . I share my experience handspinninig this luxurious alpaca and silk fiber I have anticipated working with for two years! If you know how to spin wool, but have struggled with how to spin silk or alpaca (or a mix), you might find some tips in this video as I will be spinning from the fold. I also showcase how I hold my hands for those of you who, like me, need a light grip to go easy on their joints. I cannot get over how soft, silky and shiny this fiber is and am very hopeful it will turn out to be a beautiful handspun yarn. Spinning from the fold can give a bit of a halo, so if that is not something you want, this is not for you. 0:00 Introduction 0:27 Spinning from the fold 1:00 Slippery fibers 1:45 Explanation of hand position 3:27 Trouble shooting 3:48 Enjoying the rattle of the wheel 4:43 Finishing the bobbin 5:28 Reflection Tools: Spinning wheel: Ashford Kiwi 3 Hand-knit shawl: Lyrata by Nim Teasdale (https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/libr...) in Tussah Silk Lace by DyeforYarn #handspinning #spinningwheel #alpacasilk
