Two small spinning wheel bobbins full of vibrant cobalt blue yarn
This wool is so blue that my camera doesn't know what to do with it.

A bag of purple colored wool locks spills out onto a table. The locks are long with curly tips. A pair of mini combs sits alongside.
Blue wool locks are being sorted into a basket, oriented so the curly tips are all pointing inwards. A pile of locks that are too felted to comb is building up in the corner of the basket.
Sorting through these dyed Lincoln locks before starting to comb. They're a bit felted but it was a steal at $5/pound, so we'll get what we get. 🤞

A sneak peek of what I’ve been working on lately 😊 investing in my future self, who will hopefully thank me someday.

Actually the best April fools joke I’ve ever seen, just for us spinners!

My hand holding a big skein of purpley orangey red yarn with a bit of gold sparkle. The background is a blurry view though the bifolds in to the garden.
I actually have a finished object for this #FOfriday, this skein of yarn that I spun on my cross arm spindle and plyed on my wheel. That batt made quite a big skein of 3ply DK!

A Saxony spinning wheel is in front of a cube shelf. A lamp, merino fiber, and a binder sit on the very top shelf. The cube bins, merino fiber, small lamp and various other items in the shelves are all shades of blue green.
Well I'm glad I kept this little lamp. I need it for spinning after re-arranging my craft room setup. Apparently I have a favorite color scheme. Anyway, bobbin 3 for this merino spun from the fold.🧶 #handspinning #spinsky #ashfordtraditional #doubledrive
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 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

We hit the ground running with our first farm, Millstream Miniature Llamas 🦙 While these llamas are busy at work being ethereal and gorgeous, we actually have caught them on a day-off!

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.

I'm so glad I have a Wooly Winder. This laceweight 2 ply is taking forever.

A hand spindle lays on a bed of wool batting. The spindle is striped in red and natural wood colors with a shaft of the same colors. The hook is copper. Made by Tom Diak for DyakCraft.
Tom is turning spindles again. #handspinning #craftsky

I was able to use @allaroundartisan.bsky.social 's
Drum carder for the first time on Sunday. I can be seen fluffing the fibers and picking out debris.
Soon, it'll be ready for felting or spinning, and it'll be time to clean another batch! 🧶

An upright maple spinning wheel with combed top in reds and oranges on a natural base.
Terrible head cold. Brain can't handle knitting (math). But I can spin!

Scene of a portion of my crafts workroom, with a focus on hand spinning. From left to right, a basket of brown yarn cakes and a pile of rolled brown fleece batts sit atop a treadle sewing machine cabinet. A basket of teased but not-yet-carded wool sits on a work table next to a hand drum carder. The work table is covered with a grid-style cutting board. In front of the sewing machine sits a castle style Clemes and Clemes spinning wheel with a bobbin full of brown yarn.
I'm finally most of the way through this Gulf Coast Native fleece (a whole fleece - that's a lot of wool!) that I dyed with butternut hulls and coffee. I'm looking forward to starting on the knitting-a-sweater (or three) phase of the project.

Raw fleeces waiting for their first soak Karakul (top) and Jacob x Churro (bottom)
Artisan is gently squeezing (but not twisting) the water out so it doesn't carry a lot into the next rinse
Jacob x churro after being soaked twice. We ended up soaking 3 times and then cleaning with the unicorn power scrub
Recently, @allaroundartisan.bsky.social and i purchased raw fleeces from the sheep walk ranch.
Mine is a Jacob x churro cross
Artisan's is a karakul

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.

Photo of my hand holding a wooden Turkish spindle with some yarn spun on it. The spindle has purple cross arms and a white wooden stick. The single spun is reds and oranges like a roaring fire. In the background is my blurry garden.
This new spindle works beautifully!

Two looped skeins of yarn, predominantly orange and brown with a little yellow scattered through it. The skeins are draped over a mossy tree trunk. A flagstone walkway is in the background beyond the tree.
Latest spin, BFL, Tiger Lily colorway by Greenwood Fiberworks, plied with taupe BFL. 2 ply, 656 yards combined length. First time spinning Greenwood fiber, I enjoyed spinning this. #spinsky #handspinning #moss
Fabric being woven on a four shaft floor loom. The warp is 8/2 cotton, the left half in navy and the right half in cream. The weft is handspun merino wool yarn in shades of blue and green. The repeating overshot pattern is in the shape of a cat's eye with a long skinny pupil.
Sampling some fun overshot patterns with bits and pieces of leftover stash. This weft is some of my first handspun yarn from years ago! I especially like it against the dark blue tabby.

The hand spun and habd knit funnel neck of the Yellow Wall cardigan. In random stripes of greens, blues, purples, rusty browns, and so on...
I promise there's green in there.
You see it, right?

I thought I would hate this yarn, but I kinda love it!
✍️ My personal favourite part of a trip: planning! I love contacting folks, making an itinerary, and scheduling appointments lol
Can you guess what kind of fibre the first farm has? I gave y’all a hint and I’d love to hear your guesses 🤔

I took a road trip 🚗 and visited farms at my local fibreshed! So excited to finally show you all my video project at last.
Thank you to @camila-sze.bsky.social for creating the logo I’m using in my videos!
