Progress on my first fleece processing. Fiber is coopworth cross “Hobie” from @fossilfibers.bsky.social. I’m hoping to finish processing in the next week or so! Loving the little nests more than rolags. 🧶 #handspinning #fiberprep

Several little clusters of processed wool in a basket.

Working on processing my first washed fleece and had to spin some up. Fleece is coopworth cross from @fossilfibers.bsky.social and spindle is from @willows-spindles.bsky.social 🧶 #spindlespun #wool #handspun #handspinnersofbluesky

A supported spindle with some fleece spun up and a rolag of washed fleece lays above it.

Current wips- shiftalong by @dreareneeknits.bsky.social. My nephew picked the pattern/colors for his hat 😍. Also spinning @helloyarn.bsky.social January’s club colorway. My daughter was so excited to help treadle, I started spinning without a plan 🧶 #handspinning #knittersofbluesky

How am I supposed to work when I got this beautiful baby in the mail? May spin this today so I don’t spend my time doomscrolling. This will be my first time spinning targhee 🧶 #handspinning #wool #spinnersofbluesky

Trying to keep busy with knitting and spinning so I do less doom scrolling. Currently working on Andrea Mowrey’s Montana Mountain Cowl and I love how this is knitting up! #knitsky 🧶 #dreareneeknits

First supported spindle spin that I feel pretty okay with! This is Hello Yarns Oct. 2024’s Rosy Apple spun up in a 2 ply. Still needs to soak but already love so much! 🧶 #handspinning #spindlespinning
