A close up, overhead view of a spinning wheel flyer. The bobbin is bulging with a 3ply in progress. The yarn is a muted,  variegated blue green purple.

Still a decent amount of yarn on my singles bobbins, but I'm rapidly running out of room as I'm plying. It's 4oz, it should all fit? This is my first 3ply, and only the 4th skein of yarn I've spun. @hipstrings.bsky.social BFL is gorgeous. #hipstringsalong #handspun #handspinning 🧶 #bobbinchicken

And that's 4oz of @hipstrings.bsky.social BFL top singles spun up! They can rest tomorrow, and I'll work on plying them on Sunday. 🧶😌 #handspun #handspinning #hipstringsalong #fiberart #yarn

It was a great Christmas morning! The kid had so much fun. We assembled a Bowser Castle and built a Lego Mario cart. I got a #clemesandclemes Lock Pop, an apron, and a lazy Kate for my EEW6.1. Had some quiet #handspinning time to recharge. Halfway through bobbin 2 of my #hipstringsalong 3ply 🧶.

A bit of spinning action for you, with some treadling ASMR. Making some progress on the first bobbin of my 3ply BFL spin for #hipstringsalong. I will finish this bobbin today, and hopefully start on the second. #handspun #handspinning #fiberart #ashfordtraditional 🧶

A singles bobbin with more of the BFL fiber layered on. The color has shifted from greens into purple.

The beginning of a singles bobbin, BFL fiber in shades of green. Some over spun curly bits stick out in two places

I started spinning the @hipstrings.bsky.social BFL braid last night. I had a lot of trouble getting started, all of which I chalk up to user error because this fiber is gorgeous and drafts so easily. But it needs my full attention 😅. I love the colors! #hipstringsalong #handspun #handspinning 🧶

My @hipstrings.bsky.social fiber is all divided up for a 3ply. Going for a fractal spin. I love that the label from the fiber has this spin info card that I can fill in!

Two packages of HipStrings fiber. A BFL combed top braid in moody grey, purple, and green. A batt of Merino, Shetland wool, tussah and sari silks. I'm shades of green

Late to the #hipstringsalong, but here we go! I picked up these about a month ago? My Ashford is getting lonely and wants a new project, so I thinking I might start a 3 ply with Magically Delicious BFL combed top. #theknitgirllls @lalaspins.bsky.social @hipstrings.bsky.social
