Barn Owl ~ Nightstalker 2

Another spinning project completed but this time it was a commission job.   It will be mailed out after this weekend  to a customer in Victoria, BC. 

Night Stalker is based on a barn owl's colouring and so features the red of era silk, sooty grey of peduncle silk,  beige of baby camel,  muga silk and a superfine merino.    I bought the rolags from  Fellview Fibers in the UK.    Always a quality product and a joy to spin up!  

My customer bought one of my earlier Night Stalker spins and asked me to spin up more for him.   I slowly worked away all over winter and early spring. 

Freshly washed and dried and skein into satisfying braids.

Its buttery soft and light as a feather.

Weights in grams and ounces

I put them through the yardage counter as I wound into cakes. Totals for all four are: 980.5 metres or 1078.5 yards. 388 grams or 13.6 ounces.   I'm kinda sad its all done now!

But as you can see, I have moved on already.....
