These are a pair of mittens for me. I used 100% Alpaca DK and an ancient Patons pattern.
Finally - my latest completed spinning. I spun 2 bobbins of undyed Shetland fibre and plied them together to get 125g of sock weight yarn. Its my finest and most even spinning yet on my wheel. Its my 1st wheelaversary so I'm quite pleased with my progress. I dont know how long the yarn is because i forgot to measure it before I made it into a cake (blush) It is very, very soft and completely different from commercial Shetland yarn.

Thank you for commenting on my butterfly - are you going to have a go?
That shetland looks beautifully spun. Well done you and belated happy wheelaversary! :-)
Well now I know what perfection looks like.....if something is worth doing well, it could take a year of practice, but it is more than worth it.
