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!

It's finished and ready for a soak. Spun from a blended fibre, sparkly batt. It's so soft and squishy.

A hand holding some yarn held taut on a niddy noddy. The yarn is made from sheep's wool with some recycled sari silk blended in. The sari silk gives the yarn some extra texture and colour. The yarn. Is slightly lumpy from the sari silk plus wool nepps from carding the wool fleece.
A hand with the palm facing the camera. Resting on the hand is a sample of the wool yarn being that is currently being plied on a spinning wheel. It's two ply yarn and is about Aran weight.
Some snapshots from today's yarn plying 🧶 merino with sari silk.

A small top whorl drop spindle in a light coloured wood. The top has a hook, and there is a small cop of thin ecru coloured yarn wound below the whorl. The unsoun fibre is attached to the spun yarn and is fluffed out towards the right of the image
some Sunday spindle making, with a very fine Polwarth top yarn attached. The spindle is so cute, about 15cm long and the whorl is 5cm across

A white plastic storage box of hand spun yarn skeins sits on a multicoloured rag rug. The skeins are loosely piled and have an assortment of different colours - we can see bright rainbow coloured skeins, rich teals, multi tonal reds, autumnal colours and greys poking through
Starting to organise my yarns and fibres, here’s a few finished skeins that haven’t found a project yet
Do you always spin for a specific purpose or do you sometimes spin for the joy of it, and accumulate these extras?

4 panel meme format, Anakin talking to Padme: Anakin: Next I’ll ply this yarn Padme: You’re going to rest the singles right? Anakin: … Padme: You’re going to rest the singles right?
You’ve all been so good, I think you deserve another spinning meme
Also do you rest or go straight on with the plying? Honestly I’ve done both and don’t see that much difference, but maybe that’s because of the kinds of yarn I usually spin

I’m curious: does anyone else name their spinning tools? My wheel has a name, if yours does too let me know, I want to see what kind of names are out there

A top down view of a bobbin on a spinning wheel showing a thin, light grey singles yarn with a little halo and luster
Spinning a blend of Falkland Corriedale & Perendale. It’s so smooth and happy to become yarn, it’s almost spinning itself. The last time I spun Corriedale it puffed up a lot during finishing, so will be interesting to see what happens with this

Wash day! I am bad about doing the final finishing/setting the twist on my #handspun. Instead I let the skeins pile up and then do a washing marathon. Details in the picture ALT text #fiberart #handspinning #spinnersofbluesky #handspinning #spinningwheel #spinningyarn

Five skeins of handspun merino/tencel in a gradient from light blue, through teal, to green.
I'm now halfway through my #tourdefleece spin, although I doubt the other half will be finished in the time that's left. I'm so pleased with these skeins.

#SpinnersOfBluesky I need help. I’ve put the art yarn adapter on my Louet Victoria, it uses Irish tension. How do I deal with the take up? It feels like it’s yanking the fibre out of my hands and the tension is pulling the yarn apart and I don’t even have the leather tensioner on the flyer at all! 1
50g possum blend batt spun, i'll ply on friday

A pastel rainbow of fiber braids laid out in rows from top to bottom. Another coiled braid of fiber dyed in a variegated pastel rainbow is lying on top of them.
Still dyeing 🌈 over here. These are braids of Shetland/silk blend prepared for SSK in Nashville this weekend. The market is open on Saturday to the public from 1-5. Hope to see some of you there! 🧶🧶🧶

Having such a peaceful time working on my #tourdefleece2025 project. It's really warm in the west of Scotland today, with just a slight breeze. So thankful to have the day off.

5.5 oz of hand processed jacob fleece spun up, it's going to have some texture for sure but i think that'll make the sweater i plan on making from it that much more cozy. i still have about 75g to card but ill save that for a TdF rest day
