Mostly Camel

I have restrained myself from jumping from project to project and have steadily made it through 12 ounces of camel down. It seems I will end up with about 800 yards if I don't run out of silk noil.



I've been using a long draw and I'm getting surprisingly comfortable with the technique. I'm beginning to believe that if I practice enough I could do it without watching my hands.
I am a little nervous about getting back to my alpaca fleece. I'm afraid that my yarn will be so different now because of the long break from spinning it.
I recently tried to match a bulky single I'd spun month ago and completely failed. This makes it even harder to keep faith and believe all will be well with the alpaca.
