@a_puma01 3d printed me a tiny Turkish drop spindle and I'm making tiny Shetland yarn with roo'd fleece from a nearby farm. This sheep's name is Lady Sibyl :)

I have many ‘disabilities’, aches and pains, most of my life. I love crafts, especially spinning. Occasionally I get down because I can’t do what I used to. Today, I looked at the most recent wool I spun. Ouessant mixed with merino and silk. It reminds me that I can do it, I just have to learn
what slow is I guess #handspun #spinnin #wool #sliwhandvrafts

Ouessant, Merino and silk yarn, hand spun 2025 Andean plied.

This scarf is a gift for my uncle, inspired by quartz clusters we saw together backpacking in Cottonwood Canyon in Death Valley. From what I've been reading I think they were formed by intrusive igneous rock forming around xenoliths, and by cooling very slowly forming the incredible quartz crystals we saw, which looked like rings around the darker xenoliths in the weathered rock face we saw. I'm not trained as a geologist though and would love to find more information about the geology of Cottonwood Canyon from someone with some real expertise!

The wool is targhee roving I got at the nor cal ren faire. I spun it on my small cross arm spindle and wove it on a loom I've been borrowing from a friend. It's plain weave set at 8epi. It looked very open on the loom, but fulled into a wonderfully bouncy and dense fabric.

After fulling I scoured the fabric, then used rubber bands to do this shibori inspired dye process. After putting on the rubber bands I gave it a bath in tannins I extracted from an oak gall, then in a bath of cool water with just a tiny bit of dissolved ferrous sulfate. It was so exciting to see the fabric turn grey in a a matter of just a few minutes when I put it in the iron bath!

First skein dried during then night and the better part of today. It is so fluffy and soft! 🥰 After feeling it out a bit today, I got some idea's on what to knit with it. But I will spin at least one more skein befor I start. To really settle in the feeling of what I wanna do with it 😍

My red roving came in sooner than expected so now I have to marathon my current spin... Time to lock in

Knitting with my #handspun :) thought a Musselburgh had would be good for my first handspun (yes I was very extra with the label)

I do love a gradient.

I've got the body of the sweater done - starting the sleeves today. Again, super happy with the way the colors came out! It's hand dyed, hand spun yarn, four different colors, alternating two skeins throughout to get softer color gradations.

A work-in-progress knitted sweater shown laid flat on my lap. The sweater is knitted in warm autumn colors - primarily orange, rust, and brown - in a marled or variegated yarn that creates a mottled color effect throughout. The piece is knitted top-down in the round using stockinette stitch. The sweater shows the characteristic construction of a top-down raglan or yoke sweater, with the body and sleeves clearly visible but not yet completed.

A few more ends to weave in but hey! #knitting #handspun

Me showing the white cardigan. It’s a bit wide but length is perfect and blocking made such a difference!

315 yards of BFL (and only just as much again to go)

Now BLOCKING!!!
Honestly I was casting off with shaking hands. That nervous I was…
But: there’s a bit yarn left over from one sleeve but with the other one: I won yarn chicken. HA.
Happy with the length of the body and the sleeves.
Hope that blocking will keep it in shape!

My cardigan on the blocking mats. Not enough mats but the sleeves will be ok

Finally finished these two #handspun #yarn hanks! DK weight. About 200 yards each.

Now, what to work on next?! 🤔

Six hours of spinning this morning, halfway through the first skein of this yarn

Some people claim that garments knit with dog-fur yarn are too warm.

I have no complaints!

The author takes a selfie on a very cold winter day, as evinced by the ski goggles and face mask covering all but the tip of his nose. He's wearing a brown fuzzy hat with brioche ribs that can be barely made out through the fuzzy brown dog-fur yarn halo, and dusted with tiny flakes of white snow.

Test spin for a big spinning project

24 rounds of ribbing seems about right, time to hit the stitchionaries to find a lace pattern to fit (initially in the round, then worked flat with a border). 7g used #knitting #handspun
