Went to MD sheep and wool today and picked up my first Turkish spindle. Went with a Snyder as I'd heard only good things. @senesced.bsky.social I feel like you'd approve

baby's first navajo churro spin. the grower had their flock milled into delightfully rustic carded sliver w/ just a touch of lanolin: my favorite! I'm copying @just-raeli.bsky.social by making this a spindle project. she may have lapped me on knitting ginsan, but it may finally be my time to shine 🌟

a person sits in a poofy red and tan gingham arm chair. a support spinning bowl carved from a block of wood into the fates sits on the left arm of the chair, and a white arm with a black beetle tattoo holds up a wooden support spindle with a pika carved into it inside the bowl. the person is wearing a white linen shirt and blue jeans, and a full support spindle (carved into a hobbit house) and a ball of grey wool roving sits in the person's lap. the floor is aged hardwood, the scene appears cozy and inviting.

a friend had some dyed Leicester longwool that she wanted to eventually spin (with the end goal of making gloves for her partner), but she knew it had to be blended and didn't have a drum carder v proud of the results! 50% Leicester longwool 25% Corriedale cross 21% Coopworth 4% tussah silk 🧶🐑

a basket full of charcoal coopworth wool locks, light grey Corriedale cross wool likes, tan tussah silk, and brown, green, and blue dyed leicester longwool roving set against a beige quilted backdrop

a basket of brown, green, and blue dyed Leicester longwool carded sliver and a heathered grey batt of Corriedale cross wool, coopworth wool, and tussah silk

a basket of beautifully carded and dizzed blended wool, which will eventually be spun into yarn and then knit into a pair of gloves

I am furiously trying to catch up to my students in time for session two of my intro to drop spindles class on thursday we're using a kit from @akerworks.bsky.social and it's truly such a joy -- it has everything newbies need to spin & ply (not an ad, just happy customer over here)

a yellow modular top whorl drop spindle from akerworks is FULL of heathered grey single spun yarn. the spindle is held by a white person's left hand, and the background is a blurry and chaotic assortment of spinning accoutrements

saturday is for plying -- sampling three different methods + spinning genmaicha #spindle #handspinning 🧵🧶🍵🪿

a series of spinning tools sit upon a wooden step stool. the stop step in frame holds a top whorl drop spindle full of grey wool, a sheep shaped measuring tape, and an in-progress purple and grey plying project on a glow in the dark cross arm spindle. the bottom step hold a small tea cup and a tea pot, a green tea fills the cup. to the right of the clay taa pot is a pair of brass scissors shaped like squirrels. on the carpeted floor sits a wooden lazy Kate holding two small plastic bobbins -- the blue bobbin holds green wool, and the white bobbin holds coral wool. both are attached to a wooden cross arm spindle.

a round wooden spindle stand is loaded up with support spindles from various makers. some spindles are full of lime green yarn and others have chubby cops of white wool with snipped yarn ends strewn in. two spindles stand empty, one is carved from walnut in a teacup design, the other is a custom spindle hand carved by Allen Berry depicting a pika climbing a rock surround by alpine wildflowers.

Another neighbor of ours lost his FS job last week. These are public servants being treated like they’re expendable.

three colors of watercolor paint (yellow, blue, and green) were placed in blobs on watercolor paper, and a fine line pen was used to draw contour lines around the blobs.
