Skein of lace weight yarn in blues, greens, and yellows.
The same skein held as a swirl so the blue is more visible.
I plied my #tdf2025 spin! It didn’t go according to plan - I expected mostly solids and very little barber poleing. I love it. I already have a knit idea for it.

A bobbin full of plied yarn in different blues
I’m watching The Reassembler and plying. Cause I am a wild time.

Plying from Russian spindle to a Turkish spindle
Closeup of turtle of chain-plied yarn in blue-green wool, spun from the fold
I decided to chain-ply the singles because instant gratification. I had spinning bowls on either side of my body on the couch. It was a great time. #spinningyarn #supportspinning

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!

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.

More spinning at trivia tonight. We did not win but this time felt less weird than last time.

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.

Photo of a dark wood support spindle and a lap bowl on a black table. In the background, are empty drinks and napkins.
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.

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.

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.

I could not get more fiber on this spindle. That’s good because I am out of fiber.

A Willows Spindles Russian spindle lays on a bed of white blue fiber. In the background are cups of iced tea from the restaurant.
Public spinning last night! The only comment I got was from a friend who thought spinning only happened on a wheel. He got a short overview of spinning. Much to his delight, I’m sure.

A Russian spindle from Willow’s Spindles with some dark brown fiber spun around it. The fiber has bits of blue, green, yellow, and pink running through it.
Ten strips of batts going from light blue to darker blue, then yellow, then green, then brown.
Day 17 of #TourDeFleece
I’ve reached the dark brown! I still have the other half of the kit to spin so I took a picture of the gradient.

Day 16 of #TourDeFleece
I believe today is a rest day but I’ve been spinning all morning. I’m teaching a class on supported spinning this weekend and I’m trying to translate my actions into words.

A batt of dark fiber with pops of green, blue, and pink sari silk is wrapped around a Woodland Handcrafts birdhouse spindle. There’s a little blue bird looking out from the birdhouse.
Day 15 of #TourDeFleece
This Corriedale/sari silk batt from Melly Knits has been looking at me in unspun smugness for too long. Today, that changes.

I couldn’t figure out where I wanted the yellow so it’s going right after the blue and into the green.

Day 8 of #TourDeFleece
I’m dividing each little batt in two and will spin them on different support spindles for a two ply. A slightly darker blue is next up. This is the TdF kit by @scaethach.bsky.social

Tea cup spindle resting on a tea cup bowl. There’s light blue fiber spun around the spindle.
A thin, light blue single butterflied on a hand.
Day 7 of #TourDeFleece
Sure, I have two more spindles to ply but that doesn’t mean I can’t start another spin.
