Fox Paws!!!! 🦊 🐾 More color for #showmeyourknits. I remember @xandypeters.bsky.social being intrigued because I made mine with variegated yarns. The trick is alternating with solids. #bskyknits #knitsky #knitting #handdyedyarn 🧶

The coolest handmade hat

Romeldale lamb fleece by West Coast Colour (Tappen, British Columbia Canada), washed by @mellyknits.bsky.social , procured by @pacific-coaster.bsky.social for me, carded into a lil 25g batt by me 🐻🤎 (1/n) #handspun #fleeceprocessing

The floor is lava.

From concept to creation 🧶✨ #fiberarts #yarn #handspunyarn

Can we talk about this fiber + spindle combo (@scaethach.bsky.social + @battyfibers.bsky.social)

I thought a photo album (4”x6”) would be a perfect way to keep my @mellyknits.bsky.social locks that came with her batts (and now my own hand-processed batts as well). I just tested it out and it IS perfect! I’m so excited I can keep a history of my spinning journey in one place. #handspun

I’m starting a new spin, it’s Polwarth, from the same grower, but no silk. I wanted to concurrently compare how this polwarth-only batt spins vs. how the pink polwarth + eri silk batt spins. I picked my Woodland snowperson spindle to commemorate the trip we just came back from ☃️ (1/n) #spindle

Valentine spin 💗 I felt like starting a pink spin on Feb 14 so I did! (1/n) #spindle #spindlespinning #handspun #supportedspindle

Having a drum carder is making me into a different person. I’m giving scouring another try. (1/n) #fleeceprocessing

Next up is 50g of Corriedale! @pacific-coaster.bsky.social picked it up for me from Fibres West 2023(?) and it’s been waiting for its spa time for a while now. I still haven’t spun my carded batts but I really felt like touching more wool this morning. (1/n) #drumcarder #fleeceprocessing #handspun

After trying blending sari silk and bombyx silk in my first couple of carding projects, I wanted to do 100% wool for my next one. This is Bond washed by Clemes and Clemes (their Good Clean Fiber). It indeed was v good and v clean, almost no VMs even! (1/n) #drumcarder #fleeceprocessing #handspun

My first carded up @mellyknits.bsky.social Guts 🍵 blending 15g of bombyx silk was a bit daunting for me so I blended a lil bit and fed the silk directly onto the main drum. The silk streaks turned out quite cute though! (1/n) #drumcarder #fleeceprocessing #handspun

pajama pants without pockets: WHY

🧵 Spinning this @battyfibers.bsky.social sock batt (51% romney, 43% corriedale, 6% mohair) on my Enid Ashcroft cross-armed spindle has been such a soothing exercise 💛 (1/n) #spindlespinning #handspun

The first ever harvest from our little lemon tree 💛

350 days out of the year I live carefree about my countless WIPs but there are few days when even I get overwhelmed by the loose ends (literally and figuratively). Today is one of them. I may be looking at a day of plying in front of me (or give up 10 min into it due to my attention span) #handspun

My friend Sam has some beautiful hand-washed, hand-carded batts available on her website now!

I met a fellow Stash Dasher in the wild today! I didn’t realize @astitchofgreen.bsky.social was a Dasher – she saw my Dashel bag & squealed (in the cutest way). She also asked if she could touch my bayshore cowl & I was so very much honored cc: @battyfibers.bsky.social and @mellyknits.bsky.social

I just bought the coolest record

🧵 Guess what, I finally received my drum carder last weekend! I had waited 6 months for it so I was ecstatic when it arrived. As my first project, I tried carding Romney with sari silk. Please follow along on my carding journey if you’re interested! (1/n) #handspun #drumcarder #fleeceprocessing

Adding this to my TBR!

Finishing up warping my floor loom so that I can make more of my weighted support spindle cushion bowls for you guys again, (both hand-spun, hand woven, & natural linen) 🤍 #spindles #handspinning #fiberartist #fiberarts #supportspindle #yarn #russianspindle #spinningyarn 🧶

Getting there. Real time, real sounds. #handspunyarn

We went to watch The Brutalist last night. I panicked that the movie is 4 hours long and grabbed TWO balls of sock yarn and two sets of sock needles on my way out (1/2) #knitting #knitsky

🧵 Do I look like somebody who learned how to hybrid crochet to be able to knit Kira’s bay area yarn cowl while waiting and then cast on on the day of the pattern release? Because I am. I’m using my own handspun as MC! (1/n) #crochet #tunisiancrochet #bayareayarncrawl #bayshorebandanacowl

I made a little Turkish spindle wrapping tutorial on ig yesterday and thought i would bring it over here too. The technique was taught to me by @pacific-coaster.bsky.social #turkishspindle #spindle #handspun #handspinning #fiberart #spindlespun

🧵 This magical fiber is what’s been on my wheel. It’s ~5 oz of fiber extravaganza: merino, tussah silk, bond fleece, mulberry silk, bamboo, sari silk, silk noil, and camel! It’s carded by the Woodland Pixie and a dear friend picked it up for me from a festival in 2023 (1/n) #handspun #handspinning

I think winterfest online is an annual thing and it’s the only online festival I know of. The video classes on longthread media are really wonderful as is the @plymagazine.bsky.social online guild. I would highly recommend both!

🧵 this is a 7-month old WIP ✨ aged just right, I’d say! This will be my first 4-oz project spun solely on drop spindles and I’m really looking forward to finishing and plying to see how the yarn feels. How will it compare to my support-spindle spun yarn?! (1/n) #dropspindle #handspinning #handspun

Hear me out spindle friends - I have an idea which did not fly well with the non-witches. How about a spindle hole. The hole would be constructed right in front of where I sit on the couch. It’d be like 10 ft deep to enable … continued (1/n) #dropspindle #spindlespinning #handspinning #handspun

So we hosted a lunar new year party last night at our place and somehow I got to demo suspended spinning for a hot sec. I pulled out my turkish spindle (pictured below) and somebody went “are you spinning a laundry sheet?” 🤣 honestly I wasn’t offended it was so funny #spindlespinning #handspinning

What an amazing idea! Ok so the action items are: - order a hot pink 3d-printed turkish spindle from @battyfibers.bsky.social - buy talenti gelato - eat all the gelato!!! as quickly as possible - wash the container and put woolly goodness in it, instead of in my pocket 😉

🧵 I’ve been spindle spinning this bond x bfl + sari silk batt over the past few months. The staple length of this fleece is longer than what I typically spin on my supported spindles, so it’s been a fun new experience! #handspun #handspinning #spindlespinning #supportedspindle (1/n)

🧵 I recently started working on Noss by Yuco Sakamoto, from the book My Fair Isle Journey, published by Amirisu. I’ll be documenting the process here over the coming weeks, months, or years, who knows how long it’ll take! Please follow along if you’re interested (1/n) #knitting #fairisle #knitsky

Here’s one of my (countless) WIPs. I spun 3 battlings on supported, but then I felt like spinning suspended so I spun one on my Jenkins Dovekie. Lean into the chaos and follow the vibes – is how I craft 👻 #handspun #handspunyarn #spindlespinning #supportedspindle #turkishspindle
