But I suppose if it has enough twist it should. But maybe at the next Eastside spin-in your daughter can give me some pointers? If she'll be there I'll bring some fiber that maybe she could show me on! Tara, I’d originally thought of that but figured the single ply just wouldn’t hold the lock in.

I have a thought on the green apple martini and what you want...as you are spinning the single, pause, split the single, and slip in a bit of the red mohair, then keep spinning. My daughter, who loves to spin from locks, I think would be a good resource for this! Let me know if you want to see what I mean...I think I could do it, and KNOW she could!

I didn't think it would get so many positive comments. Now I'm even more anxious to get it spun up. I’m so happy people like it! I didn’t think it would get so many positive comments.

I'd been spinning and knitting with Merino almost exclusively for years, and I do still love it, but BFL is my new favorite alpaca-blending fiber. I can imagine how awesome it must look with Suri (I only have Huacaya boys). WonderWhyGal: I totally thought the SAME THING when I finally got around to using some BFL.

I have been listening to you as you talk about your blends and I finally got a hold of some BFL and blended it with my Suri. Holy Paca Poo! It's gorgeous! Why everyone loves merino/alpaca blend is beyond me. The merino doesn't have the luster that the BFL has which totally compliments the alpaca. Can't wait to see a knitted project with the Green Apple Martini... Thank you for sharing in Fiber Arts Friday! I agree with Holly, I love the green blend and can’t wait to see it as yarn.

Zombie Snot -- HA! I wish I'd thought of that name before. That. Is. PERFECT. It almost makes me like the yarn better. Tamara: I kind of thought a neck cowl would suit this yarn, good suggestion.
