I got two silk preparations for spinning, noil and cocoons.

A handful of the cocoons

A handful of the noil plus my tahkli with some of the noil spun up on it. ^_^

I'm having fun spinning both, but I need a different spindle for the cocoons because the one I sampled on was too heavy at 2.2 oz. So I either gotta hope my new spindle arrives soon, or clear one of my other spindles, all which weigh in around or a little over 1 oz.

That looks like it's spinning up really well!
I've hand spun alpaca before, had a blast doing it.
