Two heart shaped quilt blocks on a grey wall. One pink and one blue.
A friend gifted me a crap ton of vintage homespun so I started a new quilt today. I think I have enough of the pink and blue to turn this into a kin size quilt for my bed. Thinking of trying a summer quilt with no batting.
Has anyone else tried that? Any advice?

Several skeins worth of yarn in various shades of blues and greys from light to dark indigo drying on a hook.
A closer look at the two ply yarn. Indigo blue yarn shows the twist and halo of the yarn well.
Pretty happy with my first big spin. I finally got around to soaking and thwacking all that I've spun. I think I put off that part thinking it was a "chore" but it might be my favorite part of the process. So exciting to see and use yarn I made on a drop spindle. 🧶 #FiberArts #Yarn #Homespun 🐑 #Wool
Behold the alpaca yarn I am spinning, for it is the color of chocolate and most squishy.

This is my Applejack color way based off My Little Pony. I need to get more red beads, so until I do, the project is on hold.

A perfect sunny day for sheep shearing here in California. #sheep #homesteading #selfsufficiency #community #spinning #homespun

Why do I experience rage when #homespun is used to mean rough spun? I spun this yarn on a drop spindle. Yes, all of it.

I find myself looking at all the tags on my clothing now
and going "uh huh " to a sweater that was half acrylic to
"holy s**t" when I found a scarf I used for every day was
100% cashmere.
Finally got my woven swatches done for the skein competition at Oregon Flock and Fiber Festival. It took me so long to get ready! I’m driving up tomorrow to drop off my fleeces and skeins.

Irregular weaving of a seascape in shades of blue and white.
Trying something new in white and blue tonight; an indigo seascape! 🌊
Hand processed, dyed, spun, and woven. Eat your heart out AI; art is not a product it's a process.

If you only have a little time, or a little yarn, or a little patience, these cute hair clips are a delightfully frustrating challenge #homespun #yarn #hairclip #craft

A be-jumpered hand holds a mottled grey handspun sock on bamboo circular knitting needles, showing the heel has just been finished.
A fine grey jumper in progress on a long, red-cabled pair of metal knotting needles is over a purple dressmaker’s form, with red wool holding the sleeve stitches. There is a hole at the front where something got to it (either weak thread - I had to throw out the rest of that ball of yarn as it broke every meter, a cat, or moths), so it’ll need darning immediately.
Doing #The100DayProject to replace some of my disintegrating clothing - allowed after 15-25 years.
So slowly working on garments and undergarments every day.
Currently #knitting a pair of #homespun socks, and a jumper. And there’s a mountain of #sewing and repairing.

This took forever to knit.
But first, I had to spin the wool.
Before that, I had to raise the sheep.
Next I have to sell it. So I can fund raising the sheep. So I can spin more yarn. So I can knit more sweaters.

My first dropspindle, that was a gift from my friend Monica, & the start of my second sweater made from my own homespun yarn, back in 2020. The wool is from our icelandic sheep 🥰🐏🧶
