Obsessed is an understatement.

Knit 🧶 and bloom. I’m knitting the Slade Cardigan (Michele Wang/Brooklyn Tweed) in my own Handspun yarn. It’s a drizzly day and I just adore how the colours of flowers seem so much richer on an overcast day.

Finally plied these singles I’ve had sitting for months. #handspunhabit

Something new has arrived for the studio! Along with an e-spinner and some new fibre blends to test and review 🧶 Can’t wait to dive in and share more soon!

For those following along, here is the last peek before I ply! Plying from a ball which can be an exercise in lunacy but I didn’t want to waste any singles of this fiber! 🤡

I’m adding my knitting and spinning to the Bluesky space.

Spinning a braid from Nest Fiber, and knitting the Doppio sweater with Noro Tsuido yarn.

Where my spinners at??? A little spindle spun magic with my new #snyderspindles
#handspunhabit

Plied 😍
#handspunhabit

Starting my next spin! This wool was meant to become a sweater for Ben, but now that it’s here, I’m second-guessing. It’s sooo soft that it might be destined for something else entirely. I’ll finish a skein and see where inspiration takes me 🥰 #handspinning #handspunyarn #handspunhabit #flufftostuff

I am so excited! It I had no idea what to expect. At first I didn’t like it, now I’m obsessed! #handspunhabit

Pastel fiber laying next to a braid of more saturated fiber. Both have pink, purple, sage and orange.

2 braids of fiber coiled in a circle with each other- one pastel, one jewel toned.

Overhead shot of a bobbin with a rainbow of fiber spun onto it.

Oh hi! New spinning project is in the works! Do we hashtag here? Learning new tech is hard in my 40s 😂

One more bobbin to go. The top one was spun end to end and has slow, gradual color changes. The bottom one I split into a ton of tiny nests (see last night’s photo) and is my chaos bobbin.

The last section of fiber will be divided into three to provide a happy middle ground.

#handspunhabit

A veritable cornucopia of little fiber nests, curled up and laying on a wooden side table. The fiber is mostly shades of blue and purple, with a love orange showing at time.

It’s subzero, and will be for a few days, so I think it’s time to dive into my fiber stash and spin up these cute little nests.

The fiber is a Falkland braid from Spun Right around.
