Fiber Sale (need money for moving; also trying to destash) !! Only shipping to the US. All prices include shipping.
Would also really appreciate donations if you want to help support me but can't buy something for whatever reason.
Check the original post to see what's been sold and what hasn't (I will cross out sold items). First come first serve.
https://ko-fi.com/kolyenka
Prepared Fiber--all of this is prepared by me :) the following 4 are cheaper as I can ship them in normal envelopes
A: 0.14 oz, combed top. Blend of bfl, tencel, tussah silk, corriedale, merino. Very soft and shiny. $8.
B: 0.11 oz, combed top. Blend of tussah silk (black) and mohair locks (green). $8
C: 0.22 oz, combed top. Same blend as A, just a lot more of it and in different combos. Distinct gradient from one end to the other. $10
D: 0.4 oz, rolag (made on blending board). Tussah silk, mohair, and bfl. Very squishy and fine. $13
E: 0.29 oz. Rolag, wool and cotton blend. Even more stripes of color under the surface. $13
F: 0.51 oz. Rolag, wool blend with some Angelina. Purple underneath. $15
G: 4.75 ounces. Rolags (many many rolags). Blend of various wools; some fibers are not quite next to skin soft, but overall it's a soft blend. Mix of red, orange, white, purple, and black. $45
H: 1 ounce. Washed longwool fleece (breed unknown). Dyed by myself with onion skin. $10
I: 1.2 ounces. Southdown flax blend, predrafted from rolags. Could potentially make up to 6 ounces total of this. $18
FLEECE
J: 6 ounces. Washed jacob lambsfleece. Very soft for a jacob, large bits of vm (was able to get it out with hand cards). $20
K: 5.5 ounces. Hampshire with 2+ years growth, washed fleece. Definitely an odd fleece, not like your usual down breed. Has vm; washed it multiple times but still looks gross--I've found its almost impossible to get totally clean before it's yarn. Recommend combing, spinning, then washing. Nice and soft. $25
L: 7.5 ounces BFL cross. Very soft and with good luster. Some vm, was able to remove with hand cards. $25
M: 4.75 oz. Jacob x Border Leicester. Good luster, warm brown tips. Nicely soft. $20
SPINDLES:
1: thin spindle (7 inches long). Good for cobweb weight but can achieve thinner and thicker. Birch wood with woodburning. $80
2: thick spindle (7 inches long). Good for laceweight but can achieve thinner and thicker. Wood type unknown (some sort of fruit tree iirc). No woodburning due to lots of wormholes and spalting which provide their own visual interest (they don't cause problems spinning don't worry). $60
3: thick spindle (6.5 in long). Good for laceweight, can spin thicker and thinner. No clue on wood type. Woodburned on most of the surface, the rest has wormholes again. $90
BAGS
4: handblended handspun handknit drawstring project bag, 20 inch circumference. Cord is handspun flax. It's folded in half in the bigger picture. $90
5: handblended handspun handknit pouch. Don't remember the circumference but you can compare to the other bag. Body is entirely southdown babydoll wool. Handle is handspun icord. $75
HANDSPUN YARN
6: 4 oz, 325 yards. Hand blended and handspun. Alpaca, wool, silk, silk noil, angelina. 2 ply fingering weight. Very textured. $65
7: 5.75 oz, 572 yds. Merino and silk blend, 2 ply, dk weight. Blended for a triangle shawl, stripes get longer as you go. Very soft, shines very beautiful in the light. $115
Please DM if you're interested--first come first serve. I take payment via ko-fi.

So I recently went to two fiber festivals and now have six fleeces in my house that are varying degrees of stinky and need to be processed. I have a project deadline coming up, so of course my brain decides now is a ~great time~ to procrastinate and wash a stinky fleece!
Here is a Jacob fleece that I picked up for the sole purpose of seeing if I could spin each color in the coat separately, then weave it back together into something with both colors. I took lots of video of the washing process but Tumblr mobile is a nightmare so I'm going to have the stick with stills.
The first step was separating the black and white sections from each other. I couldn't remember if the fleece had been skirted (had all the really horrible bits and poop removed) because I bought it in a novelty-induced dopamine haze, but it turns out it was! So that was lucky. I ended up having a lot of locks that were both black and white, so I made a third pile of mixed locks that I didn't feel like separating further.
Next was the washing/scouring, which I did in a plastic tub in my backyard. The fleece wasn't incredibly dirty but still immediately released a bunch of brown muck in the water when I submerged it.
Wet fleece!!
I did two 20-minute soaks with the hottest tap water I could get and Power Scour (I actually have more of that than Dawn dish soap in my house rn), then a 20 minute rinse soak in hot water. I spun it out and laid it out to dry on this nifty herb drying rack thing.
It was dry enough to work with today and I couldn't resist combing out some of each color. I think it looks pretty neat!
I think I'm going to comb the rest of the fleece because I really like spinning from combed top, and I'll probably make it worsted for easier weaving. I'm waiting on the final weights of each color before deciding what draft to do.

okay poll time and sorry I only started spinning like a year ago so I don't know every kind of spindle, I included ones I know of and know some of the differences in how they spin. also I assume many people will have an answer that varies depending on what they spin and that's intentional because I want to read everyone's explanations in the tags about why they like what they use (especially if you prefer a supported spindle because they scare me and I want to know what people like about them :)
I know I have very few followers on the crafts sideblog so reblogs for more responses greatly appreciated
#personally I like a saxony wheel or a top whorl drop spindle#I know there's Reasons to use a bottom whorl spindle but I just don't like the way it feels as much as a top whorl#I got a new heavier top whorl spindle at the sheep and wool festival last weekend and it's sooooooo lovely#I don't spin anything particularly interesting or specialised though so what I use to spin doesn't really matter too much#hand spinning#fiber arts#poll

My new spindle from BullSheepFibry on Etsy arrived & I am in love! 😍
This is a highly versatile spindle; you can switch the weight balls around so weighs between 24 to 61 grams, it can be either rim or centre weighted, it can be a top whorl drop or a bottom whorl drop/semi supported. Most importantly, it has perfect spin and goes forever!
Stay tuned for what I pull out of my fibre stash to test out on this baby.

The colors !!! Im so happy with this skein. The yellow ply is the combing waste (carded into rolags as i went) from a ryå fleece I dyed with yellow onion skin, the other ply is a batt @mimsiical helped me make on their drum carder, and is a blend of merino, corriedale, jacob, silk, and probably some other stuff ive already forgot.
It's 244 yards (223 meters) of maybe a heavy fingering weight. Didn't weigh it as my scale is under a bunch of other stuff
Also, got a picture of that miniskein that was ryå at one end and rambouillet at the other. Really happy with it, too !

Bi-Generation but in my perfect world ✨👌
Now that I know this a canon possibility in the DW lore I’m def percolating a bunch of fics/comics lol
I mean seriously though- how much more satisfying would this be knowing what we know? Because ten is a product of a healing nine, “born of war and born of love” right? So how perfect would that whole “you need to do some self care because you’re not doing great” idea go with Nine and Ten being the happy go lucky that gets to run off and do his thing?
Naturally, Rose would stay with Nine and they can have a good time doing their thing- and then Ten could go off and meet Donna or whatever and just have laughs all around the universe. It’s my perfect scenario. Win win. I get both my fave duos! Hurray! 🥰
#ninth doctor#tenth doctor#bi generation#doctor who 60th anniversary#doctor who#it’s a little present to myself#I think nine would be a boxer-brief kinda guy… also obvi a vest top under that jumper right?#he took my pants 😨#I love that friggen meme btw… he had wool trousers on 😱 the worst

When yarn care instructions say "hand wash only, lay flat to dry" they mean it :'3
[Image description: four crochet swatches made of the same mauve yarn. They are made of back-loop half double crochet and an alpine stitches. The left two swatches are distinct, with clear stitch definition. The other two are shrunk and felted into indistinct lumps of wool. End description]
#i usually get super wash wool or acrylic and i never really think about washing instructions#but this yarn was raw silk and wool so i wanted to experiment with washing styles#the top left was soaked with vinegar water#the bottom left is with dawn dish soap#and the right two were tossed in the washer on a gentle cycle. didnt even make it to the dryer >.<#this was a fun little experiment and im glad i did this with the swatches - saved my sweater lol

The danger is over and everyone is safe, you're allowed to grieve the part of your life you lost. They're just "things" but they're things you had because you loved them, made with your own hands because you felt it was worth it to create and bring you joy in its existence. Every piece you lost is a part of a life you put together for yourself. It's a testament to your existence as the unique individual you are. You don't have to apologize for mourning them
Thank you.
I just. I can begin again, and I will. I'm even a relatively quick seamstress, when properly motivated. It feels like such a herculean task, though, especially for things that can't be gotten easily or cheaply again- colorful silks the discount fabric store no longer carries, my stash of antique and specialty reproduction trims, certain buttons or accessories...
I feel like I'm staring up a mountain I have to somehow climb all over again, after reaching a peak and then falling back to the bottom
#ask#anon#just remembered my stash of garment-weight black wool#haven't seen that at the fabric store in ages#and the blood-red silk I'd just made a ball gown out of for my birthday in April#after socking it away for 6 years in expectation of the Perfect Project#I was going to make a day bodice to go with the skirt#the antique black lace motherlode I'd just hit at a flea market the week before the fire#I was planning to put sheer sleeves on my summer tops for better sun protection without sunscreen. fill in some too-low necklines#round and elliptical hoop skirts.wired bustle petticoat. bustle pad. corsets like I mentioned- two different Victorian + Regency stays#it's just. it's all so much. and it's either destroyed or rendered unsalvageable. or lost in the detritus under my old bed#or in a collapsed closet that can't be shifted to free the garments underneath
