Festive green for a festive time of year!
It's an ashford blend if anyone is curious, lovely and soft, little slippery at times at this thickness but very beautiful colour.
I was so jealous of everyone's lovely advent spins, it's so fantastic to see the idea gaining popularity. I'll have to watch out for them next year!

Spinning some merino on my new Mingo&Asho glasspin.
I taught myself to spin supported earlier this year. I found fleegle style spinning to be the most comfortable on my support spindles as its a kind of unsupported style which accommodates short or long draw.
Do you like watching my spinning videos? Should I do more of my spins?

The gloves ! Post office photoshoot lol, sorry. The yarn was my second ever wheelspun yarn--it was languishing in my stash for several years since I thought it was pretty bad. After using it though I've changed my opinion--it's quite nice ! It was a hand blended mix of merino, silk, and silk noil.

I dont use patterns but for matching items like gloves or socks I sometimes write up what I'm doing so the other will match, which is what I did here. You can read the pattern on my ravelry page here. It's women's small-- they are too small for my hands but hopefully will fit her well.

I finished the malabrigo!!! Too bad I didn't check the yardage while it was on the niddy noddy. Oops. But it is my average for 4oz tops which I spin into 3 ply fingering yarn so based on past projects I would say about 500yds.

The Tiber shawl by Woolenberry. The yarn is Wax Bean by LolaBean Yarn Company in the Tell Me Something Good sock set. I used the mini skein for the garter ridges of the scalloped border.

I bought the exact same skein of yarn from Into The Whirled at the last two MDSW. I only realized that fact this morning. At least I am consistent.
BTW, the colorway is Hijinks.

1 bobbin from wheel to skein I have a 2nd bobbin too that missed the photo.
About 270m from 150g of a simple 2 ply. Its about a dk thickness.
The fibre is merino that I dyed with brown onion skins to get the yellow. The quality of the wool was not the best, so this turned out actually way better than I feared. I love the subtle variation in colour of the yellows, it's so pretty!

Please enjoy some spinning with me on my new Daedalus Starling (aka ‘The Lamborghini’). Fibre is the WoW team blend Dragon’s Breath which is merino & mulberry silk.

Merino wool, despite having household-name popularity, can be surprisingly tricky to spin! Very fine, short, almost slippery fibers require very careful twist balance and mindful drafting to make good singles... but all that attention to detail is rewarded with squishy, buttery-soft finished yarn that set the standard for "fine wool" since the Middle Ages.
