Here's that gorgeous blue wool, plied and ready to wet-finish. My camera still doesn't know what to do with the blue.

A bag of purple colored wool locks spills out onto a table. The locks are long with curly tips. A pair of mini combs sits alongside.

Blue wool locks are being sorted into a basket, oriented so the curly tips are all pointing inwards. A pile of locks that are too felted to comb is building up in the corner of the basket.

Sorting through these dyed Lincoln locks before starting to comb. They're a bit felted but it was a steal at $5/pound, so we'll get what we get. 🀞

I actually have a finished object for this #FOfriday, this skein of yarn that I spun on my cross arm spindle and plyed on my wheel. That batt made quite a big skein of 3ply DK!

A Saxony spinning wheel is in front of a cube shelf. A lamp, merino fiber, and a binder sit on the very top shelf. The cube bins, merino fiber, small lamp and various other items in the shelves are all shades of blue green.

Well I'm glad I kept this little lamp. I need it for spinning after re-arranging my craft room setup. Apparently I have a favorite color scheme. Anyway, bobbin 3 for this merino spun from the fold.🧢 #handspinning #spinsky #ashfordtraditional #doubledrive

Another perspective of the spindle on  my knitting loom. This time my grey Gotland wool is being wound from the spindle on to my nostepinne, or ball winder.

No lazy kate? No bobbins? Got a knitting loom? Why not use it as a DIY lazy kate. It absolutely works for me. Just make sure it's biggish one and tie a bobble (or tie) around two of the pegs your spindle is lodged between and it will not roll out. #handspinning #spinningwheel #spinningwool #fiberart

First time posting here for a while I've been rather busy so it's only now I have the time to make posts on here haha. Just spun up some lurvly Gotland on my support spindle. It's probably the most I've spun on this spindle of mine. #handspinning

I was able to use @allaroundartisan.bsky.social 's
Drum carder for the first time on Sunday. I can be seen fluffing the fibers and picking out debris.

Soon, it'll be ready for felting or spinning, and it'll be time to clean another batch! 🧢

Scene of a portion of my crafts workroom, with a focus on hand spinning.  From left to right, a basket of brown yarn cakes and a pile of rolled brown fleece batts sit atop a treadle sewing machine cabinet. A basket of teased but not-yet-carded wool sits on a work table next to a hand drum carder. The work table is covered with a grid-style cutting board. In front of the sewing machine sits a castle style Clemes and Clemes spinning wheel with a bobbin full of brown yarn.

I'm finally most of the way through this Gulf Coast Native fleece (a whole fleece - that's a lot of wool!) that I dyed with butternut hulls and coffee. I'm looking forward to starting on the knitting-a-sweater (or three) phase of the project.

Finally done with the singles! I'll wind it off for storage and so it's easier to do a 3-ply.
