Still working with yarn but using it as embroidery thread to embellish a straw hat I bought in a charity shop. Embroidery isn’t my strong point, but if you squint it doesn’t look too bad!Now it’s finished, it’s ready for some sunshine adventures. ✨🌿🌸☀️🌸🌿✨.

Look at these slices of woolly heaven ✨🐑✨from lovely Lora @spinjones …..a little self treat for me 😊. I was powerless to resist these little batts and they are even prettier ✨🧶✨ in real life. For now though they are pets, stroked and admired whilst I hatch a plan for them.

Equinox off my super silent wheel ✨🌀✨a mix of my Albion British blends and Massam. Jen @wee.chickadee spun a lovely yarn from Massam last week and inspired me to try it too ✨🐏✨. I don’t have any more of this colour on Albion but I do on BFL seacell on Etsy and one Massam on Folksy.

Blossom ✨🌸✨ coming with me to @thesodburyyarnover this time next week ✨🧶✨ I’m currently barely visible above the mounds of fibre and yarns that need labelling. So excited for next week, please find me and say hello if you’re coming. I’m in the Old Grammar School venue where the alpacas 🦙 are too.

Albion blend 🇬🇧🐑🇬🇧 all that is beautiful about British wool. Drinks dye like a man lost in a desert 🌵for a week and spins like creamy butter 🌀🧈 🌀🫶. This has been a fun spin matching up the bobbins to make a gradient ✨🧶✨.

Yarn noodles for the ever growing crochet jacket…..it’s definitely going to be sleeveless at this rate of devouring yarn ✨🧶✨. And why are Franken yarns so damn pretty when you can’t reproduce them?

Happy Tom Tuesday mi lovely Tom fanz 😻….oh look, I’m excluded out in the cold 🥶 from the photo shoot of another item that isn’t for mee 🙀. I can’t understand why Hooma doesn’t want me in her shots? Anyway she has run out of yarn now and needs to spin some more, I can help her with that too 😈.

Today’s impending storm means plenty of sofa time with my mandala vest project. So far, so good and even though my hand spun yarn is wandering thick and thin, it’s playing nicely ✨🧶✨. Pattern by @thelavenderchair.

m going to make a thing. A circular crochet vest sort of thing, from hand spun. I’ve not quite decided on the pattern, it’s down to two but let’s get these yarns caked whilst we decide. Beautiful British fibres ✨🐑✨ of BFL, Cotswold and a rogue Frankenstein that looks to have everything in it ✨🧶✨

A Distaff Spinner’s Diary @distaff-spinner.bsky.social · 17/02/2025

This cowl, finished over the weekend, was knitted from some yarn I spun last year for Tour de Fleece Femmes. The gorgeous autumnal colours, dyed by Debs of @craftycatknittybit.bsky.social, were just perfect for a stitch pattern called Falling Leaves. Second photo shows cowl before blocking.

Picture shows a hand knitted cowl/neck warmer worked in a leaf pattern. The hand spun yarn was dyed in a rainbow of autumnal colours which have resulted in horizontal bands of reds, greens and orange across the cowl.

#handknitted #handspunyarn #autumnal

The same cowl as in the previous photo, but before it was blocked. The cowl looks much shorter and the pattern is very bumpy.

Picture shows a coiled braid of hand dyed fibre in warm autumnal colours. Below the braid is a Turkish cross arm spindle with some light brown yarn wound onto it. The yarn on the spindle is an undyed sample of the fibre in the dyed braid.

Fibre Faery hard at work face planting in the fluffy stuff….it’s a hard life 😆. Introducing my new Fae blend from Tom and Ellie @winghamwool.bsky.social who skilfully blended cormo, Corriedale, Falkland, BFL and silk into this flooftastic fibre ✨🐑✨. Available soon ✨🍄✨.

’ve spun the warp for the scarf and it’s so very cheerful and happy ✨🌹🌼🍄‍🟫🌿🍂✨. This blend of merino, linen and silk always creates such a resilient but interesting yarn. Now to spin the weft ✨🧶✨and then I can warp up and get weaving a new scarf into being.

I’m going to spin Spring this week ✨🌷✨. There has been one day where there was a whiff of it on the air albeit briefly. The light was different and it was a first kiss of what is to come ✨🌱✨. This is destined to be a woven scarf for @thesodburyyarnover in April ✨🧶✨unless I decide to keep it.

Ta dah! New adventure bag is free to participate in the world. Not without hiccups, twice I managed to sew the rope in so it wouldn’t pull tight. I’m delighted at how much of a rainbow the highland heathers put on. Now I need sunshine ☀️ a packed lunch 🥪 and a companion 🐕‍🦺🥾 and I’m good to go.
