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

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

All the spindles, and even though I’m newer to spinning, I can feel my brain wanting to impulse buy raw wool to learn to process myself. And more fiber to spin. All the things.

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
