We hit the ground running with our first farm, Millstream Miniature Llamas 🦙 While these llamas are busy at work being ethereal and gorgeous, we actually have caught them on a day-off! #handspinning #fibreart #llama #localwool #vancouverisland

😵‍💫 Found some time to handspin this batt before a café hang! Also, Spingo 2026 update 💕 My belt and my distaff ribbon were woven by @loopandwarp.bsky.social (from our guild!) Distaff is literally just a stick! #spindlebingo2026 #spindlespinning #handspinning #distaff #handspunyarn #fibre

Hi! I'm back on BlueSky, fibre friends! I'm unsure how to post more often on this account, but I'm determined to as I want this platform to be more of a home-base, rather than insta or anything else. Not sure how to make it sustainable for me, but I'm working towards it!

Planning a fibre farm road trip to Vancouver Island! Does anyone know of any farms that sell fibre? Wool, alpaca, mohair, chiengora, plant fibre, anything goes really. #vancouver #fibreprep #handspinning #localwool #canadianwool

Working on a chunkier spin! This is on my distaff and low whorl spindle. It’s so nice to give spin and not worry about consistency 🌸💄💕 #handspinning #handspunyarn #fibreprep #batt

I re-knit the first thing I ever knit! Sentimental, illuminating, and proud experience, but also realized I just really don’t like knitting hats haha #handknit #knitting #crafting

Learning how to spin woolen tonight 😮‍💨 I get what the fuss is about, but I am spinning a very fine on accident yarn and while I trust the twist, I reflexively jerk when I let that front hand go. I also learned that I love rolags! #handspinning #fibreprep

Anyone know any flax that I can get as someone who lives in “Canada”or the West Coast? Wanna do more flax spinning but wanna do it mindfully and support initiatives that want to boost flax around here #fibreprep #handspinning #fibre #flax #linen

The only question is now… worsted or woollen? I’ve flicked and aligned, but I’m unsure which method would really be best. It’s like a 2.5-3.5inch staple. Help! #fibreprep #handspun

Doing my first scour tonight!!! I’ll keep you updated. So far, first soak is good, I refilled the bucket, measured temp, and then slowly (gently) pushed the wool. This wool was destined for wool pellets, but look at it!!! 😩 #fibreprep #localwool #handspinning #scour

Hi! I’m a fibre artist from so called “Vancouver” and I love local wool, visiting farms, and talking to people! Here are two skeins from a local farm I spun up. Skein with pink ties is a GotlandxBFL and the other is a GotlandxCVM 😇 #handspun #handspinning #spindlespinning #spinningfibre
