Spinning from the fold practice time! I think maybe part of the problem is that I decided to learn a new draft while using commercial merino top. Too late now, we're learning on HARD mode. 😆 #handspinning #handspun #latenightcrafting #ashfordtraditional 🧶
A close up of an Ashford Traditional flyer and bobbin. A layer of blue green singles is loaded on the bobbin. A white woman's hand holds a strip of the merino top.
Trying out spinning from the fold for the first time and I do not love it yet. Feels so not in control compared to short forward. Very uneven twist. Too much here, not enough there. Thick and thin. It will be a three ply, eventually. #handspinning #handspun #latenightcrafting 🧶 #fiberart #spinsky
An overhead shot of freshly plied Polwarth yarn. A two ply of lime green and turquoise.
Two bobbins used to spin the yarn singles on a Dreaming Robots lazy Kate. One is empty, but the other has a large amount of turquoise single ply leftover.
The Polwarth is a two ply! Seems like it may be a sport-ish weight. There's a LOT of blue left. The plies weren't THAT far off in thickness. I'll practice chain ply with the leftovers, then weigh everything. Maybe the green wasn't 4oz. #handspinning #handspun #latenightcrafting 🧶

Stole some eyes from another project to test. Pretty happy overall; just need a few tweaks.

Photo of a wip amigurumi crochet doll with a fat ass. Just some real cake back there.
Love when I'm trying to finish a project before tomorrow then tomorrow accidentally becomes today.
Anyway, enjoy this cheeked up doll. 🧶
