One little fact about me: I’m a total bird nerd.

When I dyed this one, the salmon pink immediately reminded me of flamingos 🦩 Do you know what a group of flamingos is called?
Here’s Flamboyance!

Making some mittens for next winter, in my blueberry-dyed handspun corriedale!

Using this pattern so I can make sure the cuffs are even length:

Wednesday morning coffee and yarn spinning is making progress on the purple Shetland wool. Also I have wound a four strand plying ball from hand combed Tunis wool spun on my wheel. 🧶😀

Mel Medarda, the queen that you are. 🙌 This is going to be a tricky one to recreate as we go. That red dye is more of a fluid kind and likes to travel into the white spaces, but we will do our best.
Shop update Sunday the 9th at 12pm EST.

Started a new spin tonight ☺️ It’s been so long since I got this top, and it was just in a bag, without a label. I can tell it’s merino/plant fiber. I’m guessing bamboo? Feels like bamboo 😅 Planning to do a trad three ply. #yarnsky #knitsky #spinnersofbluesky

This handspun yarn loved being wound into a cake! #SpinnersOfBluesky #handspunyarn

Guesses at which Disney song our next colorway is inspired by? 👀

Yes! The spinning police will not come and lock you up if you don't wash it, thwack it, and hang it to dry before you use it. #handspinning

First color change on the natural alpaca fractal 😍

I'm not sure I can overstate how buttery smooth this stuff is. Its almost begging to be laceweight! Living the Dream Alpaca Farm is once again blowing my mind 🥰

We can't do Ghibli without Haku. Spirited Away is an amazingly crafted piece of art and definitely a favorite. I chose our Fine Polwarth base for this one for some maximum softness and puff. The handle is excellent! 🥹

A Whole New World, inspired by the song from Disney’s Aladdin, on Shaniko Silk and Corriedale.

It might not actually be my favorite song from Aladdin (hello, Friend Like Me!) but I couldn’t resist these colors. 😍

Coming May 10.

More new color combos. This one is so earthy with the colors feeling like they come straight from nature. I dyed this one on Punta Arenas, a next-to-skin soft wool that comes from sheep in Chile. 🧶 #yarnsky #Spinnersofbluesky #handspinning

I finished the swatches for the Muga Silk. It liked to be spun very fine and it's very shiny.

Craterium Roseum made for a really cool variegated with these hot pink pops against a neutral background. I think this would make for a WICKED fractal yarn.

Shop update Sunday the 9th at 12pm EST.

Plying 1/2 of the blueberry yarn on my MacGuyver'd drop spindle. My Lil Ashford one can only handle like 30g max, so I gotta bust out the cheapy boy for this 50g.

Kinda wanna refine this design lmao. How I made it is in the alt text!

More natural dye experiments! This time with (I think) cosmic purple carrots!
