I have yarn.

This yarn is from Drake. (pictured here) This yarn is made from Drake’s seconds and thirds. It’s not soft at all. If you look closely, you can see the fuzzy bits and the straight guard hairs. This, my readers, is sock yarn. This is what wonderfully warm work socks are made of.

I have more yarn.

This yarn is from Jubilee. (pictured here with a cria) I expected this yarn to be work sock yarn as well, but I’m not so sure. Jubilee has never had fine or soft fiber, but her fiber feels much softer than is typical for it’s diameter and it has a sort of smoothness or slickness to it. I think it is this smoothness or slickness that gives it such a good handle for it’s diameter. This fiber is not fine. The yarn is not soft. But, I think it might be better than work sock yarn.

I have more roving.

Wonderful roving. Soft, brown, alpaca roving.
