🧶 I've just added these to my shop. There's only one of each set available! #sockyarn #knitting #handdyedyarn #sockyarnsets www.spinjones.com/collections/...

🧶 I'm really into quick spins at the moment. It's like going back to spinning my first handspun yarns but without the frustrations. I'm just letting the fibre do its thing. The colourway is 'City Puddles'. #handspun #handdyedyarn #handspinners

16 little pieces of hand dyed Punta Arenas wool top. Each piece weighs about 7g, and the packs weigh 100g (3.5oz) www.spinjones.com/collections/... #rainbow #rainbowwool #handdyedrainbow #puntaarenas #spinningfibre 🧶

These mini batt fade sets have been added to my shop! www.spinjones.com/collections/... #artbatts #spinningfiber #handspinning #artyarn

Here's the result! 🎺🎵 I really like this method of placing the roving down in narrow folds. I like the concentrated pooling of dye where the fibre bends I'm planning to update the shop on Friday the 13th (😱), and these will be available then 🥳 🧶 #handspinners #handdyedroving #spinningfiber

I've just placed my wool top in my pans differently to how I normally would - usually I hold 4 ends together and zig zag them across the whole pan - today, I wiggled each one down the length of the pan, so each piece only took up a 4th of the space. Can you see the wiggles?

I'll be adding new Batt & Braid sets to my shop today at 4pm (UK time). This one is set #4 and it's one of three sets I'll be adding.🧶 spinjones.com #artbatts #spinningfiber #handdyedbraids #handspinners #knitting #spinning #handspunyarn

These Batt & Braid sets are now in the shop! In each set, there are 4 little 25g (0.88oz) batts and 4 little 25g mixed braids. 🧶 #artbatts #spinningbatts #handspinning #handdyedbraids ##handdyedfiber #spinningwool #artbatt www.spinjones.com

🧶 I got the carding zoomies this week! These will be available in my shop tomorrow (Fri, April 25th). I just need to list everything, finish more batt sets, do my newsletter, and do something else that I know is important, but I've forgotten 🤭

These are so beautiful 😍

Back in January, I decided, for the sake of my aching body, that I needed to stop carding. Anyway, it's April now, baby, and I'm my own worst enemy. I've been back on the carder! These batts were dyed AFTER the carding, so the fibres will be a bit ruffled. I'm excited to try these!🧶 #artbatts

I've just added these hand dyed Rambouillet spinning braids to my shop! 🧶 www.spinjones.com/collections/... #handspinning #roving #spinningfibre #handdyedroving #handdyedbraids #handspinners #handspinners #spinningfiber

I love how this batch of "Leftovers" turned out! This is 4ply sw BFL yarn dyed with my leftover dyes. I'm not sure when I'll be listing these as I've got a few more batches in the works, but hopefully soon ☺️ 🧶 #handdyedyarn #indiedyedyarn #knitting #sockyarn #sockknitting #dyedyarn #bflyarn

🧶 here I am adding leftover dyes to two skeins of superwash Bluefaced Leicester yarn. They're in the queue for the hob - but once they've cooked and dried, I'll show you the results

These are my new hand dyed Punta Arenas mini sets! 🧶 There are four 25g (0.88oz) braids in each set (100g total) They're in the 'New Fibre' section of my shop www.spinjones.com #handspinners #roving #handdyedfiber #handdyedfibre #spinners #artyarn #handdyedbraids #handdyedroving #handspunyarn

🧶 New hand dyed spinning fibre! This is Surf City, and it's available on recycled sock fibre, silky BFL, and Rambouillet, and it's also available on sock yarn. The colourway is a reworking of my last mishap, "neon navy" www.spinjones.com #handdyedroving #spinningfiber #sockknitting #handspunsocks

Surf City, here we come!🧶 This is 'Surf City' on Merino/Nylon sock yarn. I will be adding a 'dyed to order' section to my shop soon, but for now, there are two of these available www.spinjones.com/collections/...

Look at this amazing spinning!🤩🧶

I made this video last year. The dyes used are my leftover acid dyes. It's a great way to use up any bits still in the jars. The resulting braids are called "Leftovers". It's nice to throw random colours in and get unusual results 🧶 #spinningfibre #spinningfiber #roving #handspinners #indiedyer

One thing I love about dyeing wool in a small pan is I never really know how the colours are behaving at the bottom of the pan. I'll have an idea, but there's always a little surprise where the colours have mixed 🧶 #handspinners #handdyedroving #spinning #knitting

That's how this one turned out 🤩🧶 www.spinjones.com/collections/...

This colourway is 'Lake Atitlán' - I saw a gorgeous photograph of a lake with lavender fields in the foreground and with volcanos silhouetted against a sunset sky. Totally gawj! It's available on Rambouillet, Merino/silk, BFL/silk, Southdown, and on recycled sw sock fibre 🧶 www.spinjones.com

Became a danger-knitter by winding two (identical weight/length but different sized) skeins of kidsilk lace at the same time with one swift and one winder

I had 3 skeins of an ooak colourway on kidsilk that I dyed last year, and I dyed another 3 skeins in a very pale teal/duck egg so I could hold them double. I've knitted a lot of mohair held double with either 4ply or standard lace, but I've never knitted two strands of mohair. I love how it feels.

I'm trying out new colourways today

I can't wait to see how this one turns out! I used leftover dyes on recycled sw wool and nylon sock fibre 🧶

It's a 'Leftovers' day today, and I had quite a collection of dyes that needed using up. This one is still cold and waiting for its turn on the hob. I love the unexpected results of leftovers

I highly recommend these gloves if you dye your own fibre and need to remove hot pans off your stove-top bain marie (they're not oven gloves though), and they're all soft inside so you can keep your fingers warm when it's cold. I wish they did extra long ones!

Is it cold, or have I not had enough cups of tea, today? (It's both)

These rainbow bundles of Batt Food are now available in the shop! www.spinjones.com/collections/...

Hand spinners! Debs has new hand dyed Kent Romney over in her Folksy shop 🍄 (Folksy is a UK alternative to what Etsy once was)🧶 folksy.com/shops/DaisyF...

These little bundles of Batt Food are what I'd use to make my little rainbow mini batts for hand spinners. These are much neater though 🤩 You can card each colour bundle as it is or mix them up. (They should be available on Monday 10th)🧶

I've started sorting through my fibre to make you some amazing Rainbow 'Batt Food' sets. If you liked my mini batt sets, you can card your own using the same ingredients. They should be available on Monday 10th. I'll be sending out my next newsletter soon (you can add your email at spinjones.com)

I swooned!!

One sock of Cosmic Bloom on BFL. Nearly finished the other one - It's the one I tripped over yesterday - just the cuff to finish, and then I can wear them. www.spinjones.com/collections/...

Same vibe

Purple is beyond simply being. www.snexplores.org/article/colo...

I've just tripped over my own knitting, and my sock has come off the tiny circulars

I've added new spinning fibre to the shop. This is a new colourway called 'Tropical'. Here it is on Rambouillet. www.spinjones.com/collections/...

Campervan is now in my shop! 🧶 it's available on 4ply and DK BFL, 4ply Corriedale, and the link below should take you to the 4ply Merino/Nylon sock yarn from the post below www.spinjones.com/collections/...

Faffing about with labels, twisting skeins, and photography today to get everything ready for the Wednesday shop update 🧶 This one is called Campervan. Pale turquoise with rusty bits and dirt up the sides, sand on the wheels, and bright decals on the back windows.

Without downloading any new pics, where are you mentally?

Teal is a favourite colour of mine but so difficult to capture accurately. It's correct here, but it looked blue when I posted to my IG stories. Anyway, this is 'Aquatic' dyed on 4ply and DK yarn, and on various wool top for spinning - they'll be available in my shop on Wednesday 🤿🫧🪼🐠

Is Dye Candy on Bluesky yet? I treated myself to these two skeins last year, and it looks like I'm going to have to buy more needles so I can have lots of socks on the go. The skein on the left is called "Better Days" so here's to manifesting that by way of socks! 🧶 dyecandy.co.uk/product/bett...

The yarn is still damp, but I was too excited to wait for it to dry before taking a few snaps. 🧶 #handdyedyarn #rainbowyarn #sockyarn

Hand dyeing mini skeins versus photographing hand dyed mini skeins

Now that we don't have to do it, I'm looking forward to doing videos of my dye work.

These were my 2nd pair of handspun socks. I think i tried to do jogless stripes, but it didn't quite work. I dyed one merino/nylon roving in a gradient and another in black. Pics from October 2020 🧶

I'm going through my IG, saving pics of my handspun socks. I can't ever see me spinning for socks again, but I'm glad I did do it. I dyed BFL and nylon and blended the fibre on my carder to make a gradient. These were my first handspun socks. Spun as a 3 ply

Those colours in the bind off! 😍 I took a quick snap of these before I put them in the soak for their blocking. I've got more Surf Shack sock yarn in the pans, too 🧶 www.spinjones.com/collections/...
