Calm a llama down

I bought 4 oz. of chocolate brown llama from Clickety Sticks at Stitches West, and I loved spinning it up. It was a small batch processed roving, lots of air, a little VM but still a pleasure to spin up.

Except, last night I was chain-plying it into a three-ply, and it practically cut my fingers to ribbons.

I wanted to give this as a gift to bugheart when she and grub come to visit at the end of the month, but I'm not so sure it will be her thing. I'm also not so sure I want to finish plying this stuff.

As fora recommended project, it is soft enough for against the skin, but the bits of hay in it might be problematic for that in the long run. Might make a really good cafetiere cozy.
