Wound Up

After some time spent pondering the logistics, and then implementing a Heath Robinson affair of a solution, I spent a productive afternoon skeining almost 2 kilograms of yarn from cones.

I'm ready to wash them now - all that I need is a suitable spell of weather. It may be  a long wait.

The grey yarn is alpaca and is wonderful - I can't wait to cast on with it. The cream is a cotton and cashmere blend and I plan to dye it before knitting - probably in an Indigo bath.
