Fluffy Caterpillars and Fuzzy Worms

Fluffy Caterpillars

I have no real reference, other than pictures on the web, of hand-carded rolags. These are fluffy, long, and absolutely beautiful in late afternoon light. I just want to keep them as they are!

Fuzzy Worms

I'm *finally* spinning the yummy Clun/Cormo mix from Mia. My samples above, hastily spun, as I was excited to be working with such amazingly soft downy fiber. On the P*st-It pad we have a loosely-plied 4-ply laceweight. The other two are 3-ply, with the left spun worsted and the right spun woollen. I'll need to sample again, as the fiber was matted in places. I do like the little nubs and unevenness, but I'd like a more consistent sample to work against.
