Spinning Alpaca is scary.

That said, I guess that’s not the end of the world, since I could just card it, and have another go.

But still. Scary.

ETA: Ok maybe not so scary. Plying was fine. Totally fine.

Now let me share a hideous photograph that I took with my phone camera in the grey light of a generally wet afternoon:
