Swoon!!!

So beautiful!! 🥹 Is this from last year or is this her fleece post sheering from this year?!

So exciting! I hope they are enjoying being lighter and I’m so excited to see your fleeces at the fiber frolic! 💗

I usually ply on my Louet wheel but wanted to try out plying on my Ashford espinner. It was a really fun experience. I noticed I don’t ply any faster because if I dialed up the speed, I wouldn’t be able to see the twist going in. It’s great to have another choice to ply with big bobbins! #handspun

I am thrilled to have some time to spin since moving into my new space. I’m spinning for a traveler something - hopefully a sweater or the hoodie! 🤞🏼 Fingers crossed I can stay consistent. My plan is a 2-ply sport weight yarn. I’m spinning corriedale roving from @portfiber.bsky.social longdraw 🧶🖤

I agree. I would also like to have the same experience here with the stories function on insta. I love seeing everyone’s projects in progress! Maybe that just means more posts on this app?

Thank you, Vivian!!

Oooooh! Dreamy!!

Oooh! So beautiful to watch! Nice work!! 😍

I wonder if sheep would say, “thanks! I grew it!” When offer sheep compliment them on the knits they wear. 🤔

Thank you!!

Thank you! I was traveling so I didn’t have my wheel with me. It was surprisingly not as hard as I first thought it would be or as time consuming. I highly recommend!! ❤️

I recently finished my #oxbowsocks but hasn’t shared them, yet. I used Mousam Falls Jaggerspun sock yarn in the Mahogany colorway. In the second picture, you can really see the actual color. This was such a fun knit! 🧶 #skyknit #knittersofbluesky

I had been on an Instagram break and out of habit, would open the app and close it but I’m so glad your post popped up when I did the last time. I kept lamenting how I would be able to see my fiber friends and inspiration from the fiber community that brings me joy. ❤️

Excited to see how it goes!! ❤️

3 skeins of 2 ply yarn opened from its skeins, laid out flat on a table to see the yarn and twist up close.

10 balls of hand spun wool yarn singles and a mini skein of 2 ply yarn in a ceramic monstera leaf decorative plate with a Mingo Asho Glasspin supported spindle above it.

3 skeins of 2 ply yarn and one tiny skein of 2 ply yarn from leftover singles.

Last year, I committed to supported spindling for at least 15 minutes a day for 100 days and this is the yarn I made! I used mostly MingoAshos and Woodland Woodworking spindles. I hand-spun batts from the Woodland Pixie and spindled plied on my Ashford drop.

Thank you so much for getting this started! Would love to be on the list!
