With silk roving I find that giving it a little predrafting helps it not stick. You don't have to do much just enough to break the "stick". It makes a big difference. ann

I have found that merino and merino blends (merino & silk, merino & alpaca) are really easy to spin. Also, I have really enjoyed alpaca blends. Alpaca by itself can be slippery, but it is very strong. Silk blended into a mix for me makes it stronger and stickier and thus easier to spin, but I have had some trouble with silk by itself.
