I bought myself a rotating spindle stand from Kravelli on etsy to better store my spindle collection. Only my drop spindles don’t fit in it, so those will remain in the pebble filled jar.

Finished the rolag that came with the advent calendar and am now playing it. I'm exited to see how many meters I'll get out of it 👀👀

as promised, kitty cat hair spinning! finally! feat. my pyjama leggies. (i turned the lights on for pictures but currently i’m spinning in low light w a thunderstorm outside. lovely lovely.)

i suspect i’m kind of over-spinning this, but I’m planning to ply it so that will take some of the twist back out, and i also Really want it to stay together. this little bit is part of my hand-carding experiment before we busted out the drum carder, but even with that it’s drafting a lot better than i remember it doing when i was just grooming it off the cat. so! we shall see…

#handspun #hand spinning #hand spun yarn #drop spinning #I tried getting some video but it’s very hard to video drop spindling #when it’s dark and u are squatting on the sofa #so maybe that will have to wait a little bit #catyarn #maker spins #mine

Made a ply ball to make this plying less annoying. I still have fiber left to spin, but I've decided to get started on plying anyway.

This is the suffolk/hampshire blend I've been working on, on and off, for the last couple months.

Nearly there.

Also, some snowdrops for your trouble.

#plying on a drop spindle from a ply ball has been my preferred method for plying supported spindle spun singles #work is so hard today #i have like 10 things to do and instead i reorganized the towels drawer and made a ply ball and am gonna go #walk around and ply it and smoke some weed #no idea if i can ply on my rollator #ive been rolling myself around in it/getting pushed by my partner despite knowing not to #its so hard to walk and stand and support my own weight haha.#really need that wheelchair.#anyway...#supported spindle #spinning #handspun yarn #ply ball #suffolk hampshire blend

Spinning was the aspect of my craft that really made everything click. For a long time, I owed that and more to tarot as it was a catalyst in itself... However. When I spin I feel my energy being drafted into my threads in a way that really hit home. I can't wait to find a use for her in my craft ~ ☆

Me: Oh I’m so TIRED of dark red why don’t I shake things up by spinning some bright red!

#In my defense there is also some sizable chunks of purple in this #also this has been in my stash for so long I straight up forgot I had it #I don’t even know where it came from or when I ordered or any of that #I’m relatively certain it’s malabrigo nube in the cereza color way #it needs so much fluffing before spinning I don’t think it could be anything else #I’ve been really getting into dealgans thoooo #I appreciate that they force me to slow down when winding on #much like cross arm spindles #I love a pretty cop but don’t often take the time to wind nicely while spinning on whorl spindles #the dealgan also forces me to spin a bit thicker so I get a light dk weight which I feel would be good for my future sock spinning desires #spinning #spinning wool #hand spinning #hand spun #yarn #handmade #handspinning #wool #wip #work in progress #handspun #hand made

I finished my current/only yarn bending project and now my poor hands and adhd are just like "But now what do we do? 🥺" while I'm trying to watch tv.

#if i knew what pattern i wanted to use for my next project i would start it #or i could bust out my spindle. but i haven't spun in so long i would need to start from the very basics again #which would split my attention more than i want

rotating the concept of tree bark fibre as the oldest surviving example of spun fibre and how it continues to be used to this day in my mind

#how cool is that #how cool is it we have spindle whorls going back thousands and thousands of years #how cool is it that even with that being our oldest surviving fragment #theres probably a longer history going back #who spun the first fibre #what was it #how did they figure out how to make twine from tree bark #what did they use it all for #i love humanity and the threads that bind us all together

I don't know which terms are widely used, so I included every one I was aware of. I know DK and Sport are technically different weights, but they are the closest two and I ran out of space, so.

Bonus if you include what you call that weight and where you're from !

2 ounces of hand spun yarn! I spun and plied this on a drop spindle (also made by me). this was my first time chain plying and although it was hard at first I am very pleased with the effect! it will knit up into a nice rainbow ombre.
