4 glossy timber support spindles in a range of shapes and colors, full of single spun yarn in shades of brown and green, beside a green patterned ceramic spinning bowl. Fiber is luxurious tundra blend from ixchelbunny, spindles are silly salmon and the spindle shop makes.
Getting close to finishing up this spin on my small collection of support spindles. I'm looking forward to seeing how it all plies up, it's so soft! Fiber from @ixchelbunny.bsky.social

Visited Bumpa the Builder last week to talk shop! Super informative and it was my first time turning purple heart 💜

😵💫 Found some time to handspin this batt before a café hang! Also, Spingo 2026 update 💕
My belt and my distaff ribbon were woven by @loopandwarp.bsky.social (from our guild!)
Distaff is literally just a stick!

Photo shows my 3d printed spindle with the spun yarn below. It's actually very difficult to balance it for photography! The spindle has a red shaft and a gold coloured whorl, and the yarn is pale blue/grey.
I've done about half of this, and maybe if I'd spun it straight away it would be less sticky and slightly felty. #SpindleSpinning #FiberArts
Photo shows two lengths of fibre, both still need much manipulation to make them spin nicely. I believe it is merino, and it is a pale blue/grey colour, resting on my blue jeans.
Preparing some quite felty fibre for spindle spinning, I've got quite a lot of this (actual quantity unknown) and want to finish it now so I can ply and knit it! Intending to do a chain ply 3ply. #SpindleSpinning #FiberArts

Going to try to get back on bluesky after getting ducked back into the metaverse. What better excuse than #spindlebingo2026 ?

A pile of soft shiny handspun singles in a skein, colours like an oil slick.
5 turtles from a spindle, with long rainbow color repeats. The last one is still on a timber cross-arm spindle.

I love this finished spindle spin so much! It was the "gothic rainbow" merino silk blend from @ixchelbunny.bsky.social. There's 260 yards spun as a single ply to preserve the rainbow color runs. It's light as a feather and so soft and shiny. #handspun #handspinning #spindlespinning
Photo shows what I've spun so far on this slightly abandoned project. 3d printed spindle which I started this spin on to trial it. Fibre/yarn is very pale blue, and somewhat felted in spots.
Photo shows the fibre I'm spinning over my dark blue jeans.
Listening to podcasts and spinning, not watching films and knitting, last minute change of plans. Also wearing dark colours and spinning pale fibres, not the smartest idea. #spindleSpinning #FiberArts #Spindle

A Spanish Peacock Tibetan spindle with a cop of purple fiber lays on a bed of purple and green fiber. Next to it is a small case with a map pattern.
I think spinning at trivia is going to be a thing now. I got a fair amount done and I might be able to finish this section tomorrow.

Neatly wrapped thread on a Turkish spindle. The shaft of the spindle has now been removed and once the arms have been removed this thread will be able to be plied into a finished yarn. Four arms sit at the bottom of the shaft of the spindle and as The thread is formed it is wrapped around the arms.
Tarot fibre blend for spinning. 1 The Magician, spun on a Turkish spindle.
This is the singles, I'll share the finished plied yarn later.

A Spanish Peacock Tibetan spindle sits on a bed of purple and green unspun fiber. There is a cop of purple fiber spun around the spindle. In the background are empty drinks.
More spinning at trivia tonight. We did not win but this time felt less weird than last time.

Almost done with this bit.

Drop spindle with a full cop of purple tonal yarn. The spindle whorl has a beautiful inlaid tree, light green against the medium brown grain of the wood
This is chain-ply of the leftover singles from the project I’ve been spinning all summer
Decided to just spindle-spin this, instead of using the electric wheel. Spindle is from Dan the Brewergnome/Gnomespun

Close up of a Spanish Peacock Tibetan spindle with golden fiber spun around it, showing darker and lighter portions.
The color variation in this is beautiful.

Two Spanish Peacock Tibetan spindles sit on a swirl of unspun fiber. The fiber is purple, blue, orange, and yellow.
I have a lot of plying to do but I can’t do that at work. I can spin at work so…new project. Probably a fractal spin. This is Polwarth from Hilltop Cloud.

Spun at trivia last night. A lady came over to tell me she was mesmerized and asked me what I was doing. Not sure if she understood my “I’m spinning wool into yarn” - now I’m pondering other way to say that.

Massive cop of yellow/green fiber wound around a Phang spindle.
I’m still working on my #TourDeFleece spin. I am very slow at a slow craft.

A new lathe, and a new challenge!
I can now make spindle sticks!

Two stands filled with support spindles in the background. In the foreground is a statuette of Death Spills the Tea, a paperweight that says “illegitimus non carborundum est”, two small elephant carvings, a statuette of a pitbull, and candles.
Some people have tea pets. I have spindle pets.

Blue fiber wrapped around a Russian spindle from Willows Spindles. The spindle and fiber are laying on a dark blue WIP with beads and lace.
I spent my final day of #TourDeFleece teaching a support spinning class. At the end of the class, they had singles that held together so that’s a win. I spent the rest of the day knitting.

A 3D printed statue of Death in a black cloak with a white teacup in his lap. On one side of him is a white teapot. On the other side is a tiny teacup spindle with a dark blue cop on it. In front of the statue is the real life inspiration for the spindle.
My friend got me a statue called Death Spills the Tea. She gave the artist pictures of my spindles so he could add one in. I adore it.

Day 19 of #TourDeFleece
This is the second half of the light blue. I am modifying the way I’m drafting because it’s making for a finer single.
