#SundaysAreForSpinning . I have days 7/8 and 9/10 of the @mellyknits.bsky.social Delightful Advent plied, and yesterday I combed and blended the @fossilfibers.bsky.social Quiet Sip blending club from October. #Handspinng #FiberPrep 🧶

This glorious Corriedale 🧶 from @fossilfibers.bsky.social will be my last spin with my little Kiwi, because I upgraded to a new wheel. I'm gonna keep it around for a bit to ply larger spins on until I can get a jumbo flyer for the new one.

Colorway: Soot Sprites

My sweet brother-in-law, wearing a hat I spun and knit for him! Fiber was colorway Night Bokeh on Rambouillet from @fossilfibers.bsky.social, spun on my @daedalusspinners.bsky.social Magpie.

It’s spooky spinning season, so I had to celebrate with a cauldron spindle! Now maybe I should finally finish this spin I started in, um. April.

Cauldron spindle is by Woodland Handcrafta. Teacup sidle is from A Dragon’s Roving on Etsy. Fiber is Ginger Plum Pie by @fossilfibers.bsky.social

Deep Dive by @fossilfibers.bsky.social on BFL. This is about fingering weight and I think it would be a nice shawl. Spun on my @daedalusspinners.bsky.social Magpie.

I think I am going to start a Fossil Fibers spin. Or I’m going to ply my Corriedale spin. But these colors…

New braids from Fossil Fibers arrived yesterday. The multi-colored batt is from the Studio Ghibli inspired colorways. It’s called Arrietty’s Room. The purple one is “Night Berry”.

What's on my Wheel?

A beautiful gradient blue blend of BFL and silk from Fossil Fibers, inspired by Howl of Howl's Moving Castle.

I'm aiming for a very light fingering or lace weight 2-ply, and so far it's cooperating really well!

Anyone else spinning along with Tour De Fleece? I have a gradient from @fossilfibers.bsky.social and since Saturday have spun on my drop spindle at the ocean, in the mountains and my cozy back yard so it’s been quite a journey 😆

Let me see your handspun yarn! 🧶

#TourDeFleece update: my first finished skein of TDF is hanging up to dry, second one is now on the bobbin! I forgot to take a picture of this braid before breaking it up, but it's an absolutely lovely BFL from @fossilfibers.bsky.social.

I love matching my spindle to what I’m spinning. This Kodamas batt from @fossilfibers.bsky.social is a joy to spin

My second #TourDeFleece spin is this lovely BFL from @fossilfibers.bsky.social

I decided to experiment by breaking the braid into chunks and spinning colors randomly. I love how that turned out!

#TourDeFleece update: finished plying this lovely green yarn from @hipstrings.bsky.social, and started the braid on the right from @fossilfibers.bsky.social. It's Rambouillet, so I'm spinning it fine and I think it will take me the rest of TDF.

My last spin of #TourDeFleece was this lovely skein from @fossilfibers.bsky.social. It had been in my stash for a bit, and while I was spinning it I wished I'd bought more. Final TDF line up on the right. I spun about a pound of yarn, and had fun!

Thou shalt remember that President Trump hired a “big time drug addict” to destroy the government and was fine with that.

Thou shalt also remember that Elon Musk funded and worked for a man he knew to be a pedophile and was fine with that.

That escalated quickly! I knitted this shawl in a bit over a month, which is very fast for me. A tricky pattern but worth it. Now I need something like a black dress to wear under it for a photoshoot! Wingspan by Kyle Vey in handspun from @fossilfibers.bsky.social batts.

Super excited about my Ghibli-themed batts from @fossilfibers.bsky.social. Which one should I start with? Bacon Burner (Calcifer - purplish/orangish), Ponyo’s Jellyfish Ride, (blues/turquoise/pink) or Paper Airplane Skies (the Wind Rises - sky colors blues through orange to pink)? #handspinning

Sorry I haven't been here! I'm mostly getting my social media fix from various Discord servers these days. But I'm also spending a lot of time knitting! This Wingspan shawl is really coming along! All handspun yarn. Fun knit, once you have a system to track the short rows and staggered increases.

I haven't done a lot of spinning recently, but did manage to get this spin washed and skeined this weekend! The fiber was from @fossilfibers.bsky.social Passageways club.
