And a rich brown scarf

Here the warp threads included corespun natural dark brown alpaca with red and gold silk. I dyed the mohair weft to match.

 You can see the effect of the extra twist in the corespun alpaca. It gives an interesting wiggly effect.

Kid mohair corespun



I teased out some lustrous kid mohair curls and corespun then around a commercial mohair yarn.  The skein was delightlully soft.









 The resulting yarn was unbalanced so I
spiral plyed it with a fine silk/mohair thread. It is just visible at the bottom right.



Now I'm wondering  what to make with it. It feels so good around my neck that I could just wear it as a necklace/cowl.
