A hand holding a piece of very very thin two-ply yarn as it unwinds from an electric spinning wheel's small bobbin
I have apparently forgotten how to spin thick yarn 😬

My spindle resting on my pink knitting loom. It's full of grey spun Gotland wool.
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
A twisted hank of green handspun yarn
And it's done! The first of two 3-ply skeins that will finish up this green Merino.

Two spinning wheel bobbins full of handspun singles in green merino wool. A cat in the background looks at the bobbins.
Finally done with the singles! I'll wind it off for storage and so it's easier to do a 3-ply.

I didn't realize I needed to order the hooks separately for the brake tension system!

Today I'm chain plying #malabrigonube merino wool. Colorway is Boreal, and I love the soft, heathered look I got while spinning. Very happy with how it's plying up! #spinningwheel

I think this bobbin is full 😆

An old photo of a woman from Eriskay spinning with a dealgan and distaff. She is seated in a chair and holding a dealgan in her right hand, whilst drafting wool from the distaff with her left hand.
Here is a picture of a woman from Eriskay spinning with a dealgan and distaff (1890s). And yes, I was wearing Pyjama trousers last night 🤪

A 19th century Bulgarian distaff with white lambswool wrapped round it. It is resting on my brown leather couch. The wrap is red in colour.
Bulgarian distaff (19th century made) all floofed up with lambswool 🙂 I've just started a spinning related TikTok profile and will be posting a link once it's up and running 😁

A box of spinning wheel pieces waiting to be assembled. Screw drivers and a rubber mallet last in front of the opened box.
An Ashford Traveller II spinning wheel, freshly assembled. It is an upright style wheel, with a clear lacquer finish. A Traditional Saxony wheel can be seen to the back left.
A close up of the wheel hub, showing where the metal tube pieces do not insert into the wheel.
The wheel that I bought in Jan is finally assembled! An old/new stock Traveller in double drive. Her name is Holda, I love her. She has a defect in her wheel hub or the uprights (spaces that I cannot eliminate) and I have to contact Ashford. 🧶 #handspinning #ashford #spinningwheel #fiberart #spinsky

Just a wee example of me spinning with a distaff and spindle. It's a short clip, but it gives you an idea of how it's done. I don't claim to be perfect or professional btw. #spinsky #spinningwool #spinningwheel #dropspindlespinning #dropspindle #medievalspinning #suspendedspindlespinning
A large cardboard box with the Ashford text logo sites on the floor.
A white woman's hand holds up the instruction manual for a new Ashford Traveller spinning wheel.
SHE HAS ARRIVED! I opened the box enough to check that things were intact after shipping, but I won't get to assemble her until maybe this weekend. She's been in a box for 3 years according to the packed date on the manual. I'M SO EXCITED! 🧶 #handspinning #ashfordtraveller #spinningwheel #handspun

Today is Saint Distaff’s day, the day we return to our spinning, and fiber work after the holiday break.
What’s on your spindle (or bobbin)??
This is zwartbles with some ✨sparkle✨ and will be knitted into armwarmers and cowl set.

Just me on my lunch break, anxiously refreshing the USPS tracking on the old new stock Ashford Traveller 2 spinning wheel that is shipping from an LYS in ALASKA, because I needed it as double drive. Expected delivery tomorrow... #handspinning #spinningwheel #fiberarts #handspun 🧶
Baynes Colonial spinning wheel in parts on my work bench ready for a new coat of Danish oil finish. So much sanding and fiddling and figuring out how this thing works again.
Decades ago, I bought a Baynes spinning wheel. It’s gone thru divorce, child rearing, poverty, remarriage, multi state moves, all in the background of my life, waiting for me to circle back. Now she’s getting a refinish and new place in my empty nest. #spinning #spinningwheel #woodworking #diy

I'm making progress on my current spinning project & I'm really chuffed with how this is coming along. The first 50g is complete. I plan to spin the 2nd half and then ply both together for a self-striping yarn. I'm hoping to do justice to the dyer's work. 🧶 #Knitting #crochet #yarn #spinningwheel
