A support spindle full of grey coloured, spun Gotland (a breed of sheep). The whorl it's self is purple with golden sparkles. It currently rests on my orange couch fleece.

A side angle of the spun Gotland wool. Again resting on my orange fleece blanket.

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’m still getting the hang of Support Spindle spinning…as well as Andean Ply Bracelets…but I have 12 yards of 2 ply to show for my growth! farm. #supportspindle #spinsky #pinkfluff #travelspinning #slowart #spanishpeacockspindles #AndeanPlyBracelet

I am a newbie Support Spindle Spinner…but I am happy learning! My @spanishpeacock.bsky.social spindle traveled well to my project away from the farm. #supportspindle #spinsky #pinkfluff #travelspinning #slowart #spanishpeacockspindles

A plastic bag containing 500 grams of off white lambswool. It's rests on my brown leather sofa.

Close up of the lambswool, with myself holding some of it in my left hand.

Absolutely lush lambswool bought from World of Wool. It is so soft and squishy 😍 The item description said it would contain VM, but upon inspection it has absolutely none, which is a bonus! Doesn't say the breed unfortunately lol

My three support spindles resting upon my tartan bed cover. The two left are wound up with off white wool that has been spun. The support spindle on the right is spun up with brown Icelandic wool.

Spinning up some wool before New Year, as according to Lowland (Scottish) legend, the Gyre-Carlin (the Lowland Cailleach or Hag spirit) will steal your unspun work if you fail to finish it. So I better hurry up 🤪

Spun and plyed on my support spindle. I still need alot of practice with support spindle, for sone reason I just can't get it down like other spinning methods, but I'm determined to get it! #supportspindle #handspun #handspinningandfiberprep

My collection of 12 hand spindles for spinning wool. Many of them are used for support spindle spinning, whilst the others are for suspended spindle spinning. They are all resting on my brown, leather chair with a light brown pillow supporting them.

A close up of my spindle collection. They are resting on my grey coloured carpet.

You can never have too much spindles haha 😄. I spin support and suspended (I only use my drop spindle for plying).

I’m learning to use my Turkish Spindle supported…and that is a game changer! #Spinsku #turkishspindle #supportspindle #spinningwool #spinwool

Braid of handdyed Falkland wool top in blue-green with flashes of purple and white

An airy staple length of wool stacked on a pant leg in blue-green with a bit of purple in the corner

The staple length of wool folded over the spinner's index finger, ready to spin from the fold

A Russian style support spindle resting in a sindle bowl with blue-green and purple singles yarn on it.

I usually default to spinning from a worsted style prep, but my heart is with spinning woolen preps. I'm currently spinning this Falkland top dyed by Fuzzyfrog Fibers by teasing out a single staple length and folding it over my finger. Works great!

I've been trying to learn support spindle for tour de fleece, but I just can't get it down. I went on a trip last week so I didn't have any time for spinning, but hopefully I'll get some time this week.

A piece of a lavender wool and sari silk fiber batt rolled up with an orange support spindle resting across it. The support spindle has a single of yarn wrapped around the shaft.

About an hour’s worth of the batt spun yesterday. So. Much. Texture. But it’s smooth and easy spinning!

I did stop early at one point and debate switching to my wheel to spin thicker, but ultimately committed to supported spindle. This will be a fun journey!

An unspun fiber batt in a purple/lavender color with a rainbow of sari silk texture throughout. A bare orange wood support spindle rests across the batt. A tag also on the batt shows the fiber contents and reads: Hand Washed Wool "Lars" Herdwick x Romney Lamb Loch Lomond Livestock, SK blended with 20% recycled Sari Silk

Fresh spin, all the possibilities.

Fiber: chaos batt from @mellyknits.bsky.social

Spindle: Spanish Peacock

4 support spindles of different shapes and woods lined up. All are wrapped with about an ounce each of gray wool & silk singles. Perspective of the photo is lowered with a focus more on the spindle points.

Still here, still slowly spinning.

Cherry and maple support spindle from Fox Mountain rests on a cherry spinning bowl from Mawdsley Fibre Arts. Blue test fibre loading the spindle.

Calm spin for my mind.
Even five minutes is fine,

Two Spanish Peacock wooden support spindles. One has a shaft full of a gray and lightly white textured single of yarn and the other is still empty. The tips of both spindle shafts rest on an unspun pile of fiber. A pillow spinning bowl from Straddle Creek sits on the background

One spindle down for the #peahennostressspinalong AND halfway through this batt. Onward to a new fluff pile and a new spindle!

A zebra wood support spindle on a rustic wood background. The spindle has a single of gray textured fiber wrapped around the shaft.

Day 4 / April 6 results for the #peahennostressspinalong. I had aspirations to finish my 1 ounce set aside for this spindle, but slow & steady progress is still progress!

And one more preview of a fleece that I wasn’t going to share but decided to part with only 1 batt of the natural deep black Shetland beauty ‘Sol’. And I’m keeping the rest for myself 😏

Along with other lovely batts, I will also be offering 1 large (2.54 oz.) batt of the light grey (with a blue tinge) Shetland beauty ‘Gamora’. I’m totally hoarding the rest for myself 😏
