Three turtles of spun merino and a top whorl spindle with a moose antler whorl and walnut shaft with some of the wool plied on it. Under the project there's a book called Expressions Françaises à Gogo: Ranskalaisia ilmauksia mielin määrin Méli-mélo & pêle-mêle by Anneli Taimio and Taru Tarvainen.

I started plying the turtles of spun merino singles before I got a cold. No progress for a couple weeks. ☹️🧶 #spindlesky #spindlespinning #handspun #värttinä #kehräys

Thank you! Do try, but I'd recommend a seat cushion or a pot coaster first. This is a whole kilo of yarn in heavy lace weight for the project. 😅

I don't know any other yarn like this Estonian Aade lõng / Kauni Artistic. Here it's inexpensive too.

A pink, white, grey and purple blanket in a big flower pattern on a pink and white rug with two cakes of yarn beside it. There are stitch markers and a cable needle on the round blanket.

The knit side is the light side and purl the dark side, but both sides are stockinette on the outside. I pick the purls and throw the knits holding the yarns in different hands to obtain better control of the tension. 🧶 #showmeyourknits #neulominen #knitting #knitsky #doubleknitting #neule #knit

With the approaching final chart it's time for a flatness check on my long-term project; a double knit blanket. The pattern is Blossom blanket by Lucy Neatby and I'm using Estonian wool Aadelong 8/2. 🧶 #showmeyourknits #doubleknitting #knitsky #knittersofbluesky #bskyknits #knitting

Singles not spindles. I wish there was an edit button but there isn't. :⁠-⁠\

I'm spinning too thin spindles again. This project is going to take forever or at least several months to finish into yarn. 🧶 #spindlesky #handspinning #handspun #spindlespinning #bluefacedleicester #värttinä #kehräys #handpaintedwool

Old striped grey and ecru woolen sock heel with needle and grey yarn on it.

Old striped grey and ecru woolen sock heel with needle and grey yarn on it.

Mending my grandmother's knitting. Mom told us to toss it, but my brother wants to keep wearing these. He had worn a good sized hole above the heel, but the sole is still good after at least 20 years. Mummi has been gone almost two decades. 😢💔

Magenta background with white text that says "I completed the February challenge. That's faster than 95.5% of all learners on Duolingo!" On the right lower corner there's a picture of one the characters called Oscar with a red rose on his teeth.

I'm somewhat foggy on how Oscar is going to find love by me learning Japanese. The challenge texts are usually funny, not just weird. 🤔 #Duolingo

I mostly spin commercial tops, but I would like a little thinner preparation. Some braids feel really wide and I struggled with them back when I was a beginner. Pencil roving is not my favorite though.

Haha. Thank you! I make yarn by hand from dyed wool with my wooden sticks that cross. Next I'll put these together and add twist for a yarn with one pink ply and two purple plies. 💜💕💜

Three Turkish spindles on a grey wood stump. Two spindles have purple wool spun and neatly wound on and one has pink purple on it.

Nunoco Yewberry and Fandango merino samples spun on Jenkins Turkish spindles. I'm going to make a three ply yarn, but I haven't decided on what I'll ply them on. Aura? Moosie? 🤔 #spindlesky #handspinning #handspun #spindlespinning #kehräys #värttinä

I finished spinning this lovely French merino from #WitchCraftyLady on my Cherry Matchless. After resting the single I'm going to n-ply it. #handspun #spinningwheel #handspinning #kehräys #rukki #frenchmerino

I've missed your pictures so much! They are just so perfect. Life is so tough and bleak that I didn't spin for like 2 years. Just too unhappy 😢

A top whorl spindle and purple bluefaced Leicester silk blend spinning fiber.

It's a lighter spindle with a less thick whorl. I wish I had more of these Skinny Midi spindles. 🧶

Wooden top whorl spindle with about 24 grams of purple wool spun and wound on with more purple wool and another spindle underneath.

Wooden top whorl spindle with about 24 grams of purple wool spun and wound on with more purple wool and another spindle underneath.

I decided that this much was enough for one spindle. The lace weight single won't hold much more I think and it's a slippery fiber. I picked my next spindle and spun a little. It seems weightless after the first one. #spindlesky #handspinning #spindlespinning #värttinä #kehräys #handspun 🧶
