I started plying the turtles of spun merino singles before I got a cold. No progress for a couple weeks. ☹️🧶 #spindlesky #spindlespinning #handspun #värttinä #kehräys

The knit side is the light side and purl the dark side, but both sides are stockinette on the outside. I pick the purls and throw the knits holding the yarns in different hands to obtain better control of the tension. 🧶 #showmeyourknits #neulominen #knitting #knitsky #doubleknitting #neule #knit

With the approaching final chart it's time for a flatness check on my long-term project; a double knit blanket. The pattern is Blossom blanket by Lucy Neatby and I'm using Estonian wool Aadelong 8/2. 🧶 #showmeyourknits #doubleknitting #knitsky #knittersofbluesky #bskyknits #knitting

I'm spinning too thin spindles again. This project is going to take forever or at least several months to finish into yarn. 🧶 #spindlesky #handspinning #handspun #spindlespinning #bluefacedleicester #värttinä #kehräys #handpaintedwool

Mending my grandmother's knitting. Mom told us to toss it, but my brother wants to keep wearing these. He had worn a good sized hole above the heel, but the sole is still good after at least 20 years. Mummi has been gone almost two decades. 😢💔

I'm somewhat foggy on how Oscar is going to find love by me learning Japanese. The challenge texts are usually funny, not just weird. 🤔 #Duolingo

Nunoco Yewberry and Fandango merino samples spun on Jenkins Turkish spindles. I'm going to make a three ply yarn, but I haven't decided on what I'll ply them on. Aura? Moosie? 🤔 #spindlesky #handspinning #handspun #spindlespinning #kehräys #värttinä

I finished spinning this lovely French merino from #WitchCraftyLady on my Cherry Matchless. After resting the single I'm going to n-ply it. #handspun #spinningwheel #handspinning #kehräys #rukki #frenchmerino

I decided that this much was enough for one spindle. The lace weight single won't hold much more I think and it's a slippery fiber. I picked my next spindle and spun a little. It seems weightless after the first one. #spindlesky #handspinning #spindlespinning #värttinä #kehräys #handspun 🧶

These samples are soon spun. I'm trying to decide what I should spin next on my Turkish spindles. Maybe some handpainted Polwarth...🧶 #spindlesky #handspinning #spindlespinning #värttinä #kehräys #handspun #turkishspindle

Perpetual rain is back on us so a couple week old picture of my spinning wheel when we had sunlight for like 15 minutes. I'm almost finished with this French Merino from #WitchCraftyLady. #spinningwheel #handspun #frenchmerino #handspinning #bobbinshot #schachtmatchless #wheelspinning #spinsky

I wish my knits were as photogenic as my spinning, but it is what it is. I started yet another Christmas ball. I promised I wouldn't but I always find my knitting mojo from #julekuler. I'm not sure you can tell what the motif is supposed to be. 🧶 #knitsky #arnecarlos #christmasball #strandedknitting

My current Turkish spindle spinning project. Bright merino samples from Nunoco in pinks and purples. Jenkins group January challenge is digging up the oldest fiber and these are some the oldest fibers I have ordered for spindle spinning 10 years ago🧶 #spindlesky #handspinning #spindlespinning

On my Bosworth spindles I'm spinning a braid of handpainted sw bluefaced Leicester silk blend. I have already spun some 14 grams, but the light is the dismal January bleakness, so no new picture this week. #spindlesky #spindlespinning #handspinning #bflsilk

Hi craftyverse! 🧶 I finished spinning grey sw Polwarth Nylon from WitchCraftyLady on my Turkish spindles. At least I hope that's all of the two samples that I had. #spindlespinning #handspinning #turkishspindle #polwarthwool #spindlesky
