Ein sehr willkommener Bewohner meiner Chillipflanze :D

Wenn ich richtig recherchiert habe, sie sollte eine kupfrige Sonnenspringspinne sein!

So very very soft alpaca! This took so long

100g around 370m alpaca yarn.

I used the black and white wool, and also blended it to get gray, I can't wait to see how this knits up!

My original plan was to make self striping yarn and i spun the two singles accordingly but somewhere something went wrong and things got misaligned ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ .

Oh well I still do have few kg more to try to achive what I want haha.

Alpaca woolen spun what went wrong?

after the wash the yarn is just dissolving??? bunch little of hairs are falling out too

should I have added more twist to the singles? or what happened here?

it didn't have all these pigtails before washing

I added a bit more twist at the plying bc my test yarn was quite low twist

what should I do so this won't happen again?

(I promised to make 2 beanies for the ladies I got the fleece from, I want them to be well made )

Training for long distance (13-15km) as a past competitive swimmer?

How should I train for long distance, what drills and/ or dry land exercises are recommended?

I used to swim competitively but that has been a long time ago, I am not too trained but lately I've been swimming few times a month, doing 4km trainings isn't a problem for me. Also due to my past my technique should be pretty decent.
