Spinning silk roving in the "Turkish Carpet" colorway:
I also plied the silk cap from last week with itself, then skeined it up:

Best exfoliation vehicle I've used is a handspun laceweight Falklands Merino handknit fulled washcloth with Aubrey's Goodies Unlimited Cocoa Butter Soap. Occasional addition of homemade clarified chicken fat moisturizer.
The other thing you can do is knit with that Icelandic laceweight from Schoolhouse/Meg. It will remove your outer layer rather quickly! --syl
I have the same problems with silk! Little bumps that I didn't even know where there are suddenly catching on everything. Sheesh!
Lovely yarn. I'm hoping to break out the wheel and spindle over the weekend and maybe finish a skein or two. Maybe...
the colors are beautiful!
