I've finished my first ever 4oz batch of #DropSpindle singles and am very pleased with the results.

It's a 100% Romney fibre, hand-dyed by Abstract: https://abstractfiber.com

I plan to 2-ply it with this 4oz of lovely light tan Santa Cruz Island from Shaggy Bear Farms (https://shaggybearfarms.com), once I get it spun.

#Handspun #spinning

I am not a very good spinner so when this is the result of plying two bobbins I consider it remarkable. Especially considering I didn't even halve the top before I began the singles, just spun randomly until I remembered I should really create two bobbins.

spinning up some lovely kettle dyed 80/20 merino silk blend. going to attempt to spin a 4-ply cabled yarn for the first time! #spinning #yarn #handspun #fiberarts

learned the hard way that uhhh there is some math involved with fractal plying as this skein ended up with some loooooong strands of all yellow or all black...overall Im happy with it tho! this is a blend of merino and bamboo #spinning #handspun #yarn

My new DIY spinning cart. The top attaches with Velcro and the cart folds up to almost nothing. I made sure the top overhang was big enough to allow clamping various tools. I had my on order dean and bean CSM in mind, but it's absolutely perfect for my Hanson too. Can't wait to take it to an event. 💕 In the meantime I'm starting the second half of my baby camel singles. #fiberarts #spinning

Time to start a new #spinning project at the wheel. :spinningwheel:

This is 16oz of Shetland roving, all from a ewe named Meghan at Valley View Farm (https://valleyviewfarmwa.com). 🐑

It's already surprisingly soft, so hopefully the resulting yarn will be as well. 16oz is gonna take a while, so I'll have to wait to find out.

This is how I put a rotation counter on my yarn swift. You can get these for about $13US. It consists of a small magnet, a wand that can detect the magnet, and the little digital screen which runs on one AA battery. The magnet is tucked into the underside of the part that rotates, and the wand is attached to the stationary nut with a strip of velcro. The counter remembers the last count even after you turn it off. #fiberart #yarn #spinning

Trying to get my spinning wheel working g again on this lovely warm Labor Day.

I picked "more than 10" and I was only counting the #knitting ones! 🤣 There's also the #spinning, the @weaving, the #sewing, the #nalbinding, and biggest of all, the #dyeing

I've been neglecting my spinning so I'm reinstituting Sundays are for spinning. Current WIP honey colored baby camel down. I have 4 ounces of coordinating teal camel/silk to add for a color work shawl. #spinning #fallfinishalong

The singles are all done on the Jacob fleece I’ve been #spinning. Taking a break with DadGoth on the couch, then maybe plying the black/charcoal.

Does anybody have a good way of separating out colors in a multicolored fleece?

This is what I did on the first day of our vacation.
It’s part of the Jacob fleece I’ve been working on. Carded rolags, and long draw woolen spun singles.

All the colours, and sparkly! Unspun versus spun single. 🧶 #spinning

Welp after a very long time of deliberating I'm finally getting a drum carder. It should arrive sometime in September. It's a bright spark in my fairly deflated mindset right now. #ClassicCarder #Spinning

The #spinning that I brought with me. Today is going to be a long one but birds are awake and the spinning is as I keep saying, good. #spindle #crossarmspindle

Best #spinning question at the airport. Of my Jenkins Lark, a cross-arm spindle, a man asks, "Do you do that just for therapy?" It's totally therapeutic but I spin to make yarn for #knitting #weaving. Asking like that about #spindlespinning is welcome.

My first #spinning project is COMPLETE! 🎉

2kg of undyed multicoloured Corriedale from Ashford. Nearly 3000 yards of yarn.

Because it's my first project, the yarn gauge changes dramatically from first skein to last. (first kg: ~800yd; second kg: ~1800yd)

This will complicate the plan to use it for a sweater, but I'm an accomplished enough
#knitter to be able to make it work well.

Plying this morning. It's sunny and I am headed into tough personal waters, tomorrow. The fibre is Navajo-Churro, 4 oz. This is a beautiful range of undyed top that the Rainbow Fiber Co-op offers. #spinning
