I have apparently forgotten how to spin thick yarn 😬

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

Die ganze Runde im Chor: „Eine Handspindel!“
Ich: „Sozusagen die Vorstufe zum Stricken.“
Kollegin: „Sie spinnt!“
Ich: „Also wortwörtlich!“

Handspindel mit Spinnfasern

Konversation unlängst bei einem Stricktreffen, ich mit meiner Handspindel (wie so oft in letzter Zeit 😎 ):

Spricht mich einer vom Nebentisch an:
„Sorry, wir sind neugierig und wollten fragen, was das eigentlich ist…?!“

That spun from the fold mohair experiment got a little colour yesterday with further experiments using marigolds from last season’s garden. Cotton experiments with pomegranate as well. #handspun #naturaldye

Some knitting in a purple handspun yarn. It's knit in the round on a long circular needle and is resting on a tablet with the Tin Can Knits app on the screen. The pattern is Flax Worsted by Tin Can Knits

I have lost count how many times I have had to start this handspun jumper. I always have a bunch of false starts with the long tail cast on but I knit up to the point where you join the body after the sleeve holes (top down knit) twice before I decided I need to change pattern. #handspun #Flax #knit

Got through enough of the other things I had stuff, and screwing up my courage, I started weaving the shawl. I am so paranoid about having enough yarn so I am throwing in all the handspun in the colorway family, and will separate different spins with warp yarn. #Handweaving #handspun #multishaft

Finally done with the singles! I'll wind it off for storage and so it's easier to do a 3-ply.

A #handspun experiment with some #handdyed combed top.
The red is wool dyed with pokeweed berries. The green is commerical dyed combed top. The white is the "cotton?" from the top of the medicine bottle.
The spindle is made from a burning bush twig and salt dough.
It will be called Christmas snow.

A bobbin spun from nests of fibers. I don't know what I'm going to get! What will it look like when plied?

a gorgeous skein of that same laceweight yarn.

Okey dokey... here's the finished stuff!
370 yards, 5.5 ounces, 1076 yards per pound which the grist calculator calculates as laceweight.
BUT, isn't around 1076 ypp a worsted-ish weight?
My brain hurts.

HOWEVER, I am very, very happy with this yarn

A *bleepin* sweater quantity of mostly hand dyed fiber braids for hand spinning. Blue, green, cream, rust, purple, beige, and magenta. This is going to be amazeballs.

I've been away from spinning for about 8 years, so I completely missed the #combospinning boat. And I gotta say, HOW DID I MISS THE COMBO SPINNING BOAT?

This is all Fiber of Yore, some as much at 15 years old.
GUESS WHAT I'M GOING TO DO WITH IT...

A big, fat, juicy bobbin of purple plied yarn. Yum.

Juicy...
Done, except for measuring and wet finishing.
The way the colors stacked surprised me. There were what I though was vast expanses of pale, almost white lavender and I was afraid that they'd all end up plied together making long whitish blobs, but no!
