wool

cormo. difficult to take a picture
matchless set up to spin this. standard cherry.

green next to it - commercial cashmere silk lace weight 600m 50gr or so if the memory serves me right it's one of zephyr yarns

what the heck am I going to do with this... One who got this fiber processed was wondering what will I do with it on my set to spin for another shawl wheel. So here it is. It can be spun into that on matchless. 3-4 hairs on cormo, what nm count or wpi is that I did not count. Neah, do not want to count wpi on that one.
DH showed up and made a comment, what are you going to do with it, make a spider web?
maybe, but how exactly and what would be a frame for it...

I took some pictures in more of a morning light. put a human hair and maxilock thread for overlock machines, basically it's a common sewing thread on a budget, color black.

some close ups
I can not really take a video that would look sharp, do not have  a camera that would do this. so no video, pictures. it's spun on matches, what you see is what it's spun on




here is the fiber and the lable from sewing thread. it is TEX 27.
