Latest #introduction post (🧵 threaded for history)
I am a #spinner and #weaver -- primarily drop spindles and #AndeanBackstrap weaving. I'm also an "Adjunct" over at #FU #FranquemontUniversity where I support the work of #AbbysYarns in Peru.
I've been part of #SCA #Caid through #textiles #medieval #reenactment and #bardic
I'm on hiatus from teaching #FCBD (formerly ATS) #bellydance where I coined #ThisBodyThisDay and #NoPressureNoShame

Finished! This full band of tanka ch'oro with some color swapping. the white was a lot thinner and even stretchier or looser than the red which made things a real challenge, but was good experience in working with that kind of issue and motivation to make sure I don't create it for myself in my own warps. On to the next!

Working a bit on the tanka ch'oro band tonight. Tension and "seeing" the building blocks that make the pattern, instead of the pattern as a whole. #AndeanBackstrap #AbbysYarns #franquemontUniveristy

Better #introduction post (might as well thread them for history)

Hey I guess it’s time for #introductions so … let’s try doing it with a hashtag mess.
Hi everyone, I run #abbysyarns and #franquemontuniversity and I’m a #handspinner, #spinningteacher, #weaver, #knitter, and whatnot, so I enjoy #spinning aka #handspinning, #weaving aka #handweaving, #yarn, #fiberarts #fibrearts and all that kind of thing.
You may know me elsewhere as abbysyarns, you may know me from my published works.
