This may be a tad self indulgent, but in my humble opinion, this is the best eye candy!
My own handspun!
This is 250 yards of 2-ply lace weight (20 wpi) 100% alpaca from Spunky Eclectic. I spun it on Martha, my new Schacht Matchless double treadle spinning wheel. The colorway is Rocky Mountain High.
I am in love! Both with the wheel, and the alpaca. Must have more!!!

I am always impressed by seeing what people have spun, but that yarn is truly, truly beautiful. I am in awe of your ability and insanely jealous.
