Alpaca spinning

Here is my lastest spinning. Some alpaca I got last year at the Estes Park Wool Market. The purchase was 5 ounces of Roving from the Aplaca tent. The reciept says Sancho Paca #92 Fawn Roving.

I am trying to be a little more organized with this since I want to ply it. I weight it and split in half using my flour scale. Lets face 5 ounces doesn't do anything on the bathroom scales. This is approximately half it spun. I am keeping about a oversized fist of loosely wound roving and will compare the two bobbins before deciding who gets this little bit. Will it be bobbin #1 or bobbin #2? And more to the point will I even remember to post the answer.
