There’s something pretty amazing about taking fresh food and turning it into something shelf-stable, lightweight, and just as delicious. Freeze drying lets you lock in flavor, color, and nutrients.

A ranunculus sweater knit in a rose colored yarn. A young woman is wearing it

And I thought I had nothing in pink to offer up. While strolling for a different photo, I found this. My friend got frustrated with the yarn, gifted it to me, I made the sweater, and gifted it right back to her ❤️

A Turkish spindle with some grey yarn and unsound fleece in the background #spindle #handspinning #wool

Still spinning a little every day for #spinintospring. And still a beginner.
How full do you make a Turkish spindle? Until you can’t see the sides anymore?

A Turkish spindle with a little bit of spun yarn on it. The spindle is made of light colored wood and the yarn is a very light grey. The fibers are a mix of Merino, cashmere, and possum #spinning #spindle #turkishspindle #handmade #handspun #homesteadingskills

Can’t say it is a great photo or expertly spun yarn. But I am doing it. Committed to 15 min a day. Hopefully, in a few weeks, this will look much better.
