Handspun Lace
It's done! And I could not be more thrilled with it.
1216 yds, 32 wpi, 8 oz Crown Mountain Farms BFL, "Stonehenge".
I've got no idea what I'll knit with this. Normally I like to knit lace with a solid color, but since I my hands like to spin thin, lace is what I get. ;)
This was therapy spinning. My husband is away on a business trip (but will be back tonight) and this was to keep me busy while he was gone. (I have trouble sleeping when he's not here.)
I started this Sunday night before he left. A few late nights of spinning later and I have yarn. That's about as insant gratification as spinning can get for me. *wink*
Instead of bogging you down with a bunch of photos of this, I put together a mosaic. I'll definitely be ordering more from CMF!

Thank you Sara and Heather!
It is absolutely beautiful!
Thanks so much, wishiwerebuffy!
Oh. My. God. 1200+ yards???? You are my hero! It is amazingly gorgeous!
Thanks, Ms. B!!!
Pretty!
WOW. I can't seem to spin thin like you. I tend to spin medium weight yarn time to time which is what my hand like to spin generally.
Beautiful colors as always and great photos.
Mmmmm. Yummy! My favorite color family, too!
..."turned into this truly gorgeous laceweight"...
