✨ spinning gold 🧶

a photo from old workspace of golden yellow roving wool prepped into “bird nests” to get it ready to be spun into yarn!

the gold fiber in the bowl is called angelina & I add it during the spinning process for sparkle 💖

A baker’s dozen of yellow roving wool “bird nests” (thin strands wrapped into loops) next to a heart-shaped bowl full of sparkling gold metallic fiber.

The singles rested for two days, and now they are all plied up! Still some singles leftover. I'll take some as a sample for a spinning diary page, then maybe try out a plying bracelet with the rest. Prep was a mostly BFL batt, stripped . #handspinning #spinsky #eew6.1 #yarn #handspun #fiberart
An overhead view of an e-spinner bobbin, filled with fresh 2ply yarn. Another bobbin with some remaining single ply is held above it.

Skeined up the Polwarth two ply. The turquoise fiber braid seems to have been overweight, there is 1.8oz remaining. The plied skeins total 7.5oz. It's between a heavy fingering and sport? Need to wash it after the Ply guild zoom. #handspinning #fiberart #handspun #eew6.1 #dreamingrobots 🧶
A white woman's hand holds a twisted hank of yarn, with a second skein still on the niddy noddy. It is a bright spring green plied up, made up of turquoise and lime green singles. A spinning wheel can be seen in the background. The two skeins of plied yarn sure on a pink postage scale. The total weight is 7.5oz. A purple bobbin with the leftover turquoise singles sites on the pink postage scale. After subtracting the tare weight of the bobbin, there are 1.8oz of singles remaining.

things I've been doing the past couple months:
- printmaking
- film photography
- dyeing
- spinning

I also got a needle felting kit for Christmas so i'm getting into that now too.

And that's 4oz of @hipstrings.bsky.social BFL top singles spun up! They can rest tomorrow, and I'll work on plying them on Sunday. 🧶😌 #handspun #handspinning #hipstringsalong #fiberart #yarn

My ADHD is finally letting me work on the yarn spinning projects that are starting to get backed up.

That’s what happens when you get the wool for said projects and lack the motivation to actually do them. 😅

A few days ago I taught the last session of my class Color Blending and Spinning Gradient Yarns to a delightful, creative, thoughtful group of students. Isn't their work amazing?

The Nano 2.1 upgrade was soooo worthwhile!! The break tension and yarn take up is now a breeze to control, albeit nuanced. I will now enjoy spinning yarn with this wheel 🩷

This is chain-ply of the leftover singles from the project I’ve been spinning all summer

Decided to just spindle-spin this, instead of using the electric wheel. Spindle is from Dan the Brewergnome/Gnomespun

Drop spindle with a full cop of purple tonal yarn. The spindle whorl has a beautiful inlaid tree, light green against the medium brown grain of the wood

Pretty good game of bobbin chicken. #spinning #fiberart #handspun #craftiverse #bobbinChicken
An upright lazy kate - 3 spindles, a tension knob and a central urn-shaped center element, open at the top with four holes towards the bottom. Two spindles hold wooden bobbins one with just leader, the other with about 2 yards of white yarn on it. Partially visible behind is a Clemes and Clemes spinning wheel. Close up of bobbin of 2-ply Bergshaf wool yarn. Yarn is white with a distinct halo.

Check out my makeshift #LazyKate! It's working perfectly to hold the two strands I'm plying together into a skein 🧶 I'm #spinning for my other mother. I managed to get over 1000yds out of the coloured #fibers, so I'm hoping it's enough for her to MAKE something with! #knitting #crochet #FiberArt
Two spools of single-ply hand-spun yarn are wound thickly onto two long wooden dowels. The spool on the left is variegated purples, blues, and a deep wine red. The spool on the right is black. The ends of each spool sit neatly in the hand-holes of a small wooden crate...a sort of make-shift lazy kate if you will. Lying across the upper left corner of the crate is a handmade wooden drop spindle with the beginnings of two-ply stripey yarn.

Final day!
Finished spinning the last of my prepared hand dyed Gulf Coast native wool.

Plied it, and now it's soaking to set the twist.

This was a great event!

I’ve been doing some more drop spindle spinning lately. The fiber batt is a mix of recycled yarn I put together on my drum carder. #spinning #yarnspinning #dropspindle #fiberart #recycledart #fiberartist
