Terri K O 🍁Drop spindle turtles have been chain plied on my bigger wheel! I have a few spots with lousy tension but overall it looks like I'd hoped!<a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/spinning" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@spinning</a> <a href="https://social.afront.org/tags/spinning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#spinning</a>

FanCityKnits 🇺🇦🧶Oh, I didn't learn about this until now. Stephenie Gaustad died on February 12th of this year. I don't know much about spinning plant fibers, but I always enjoyed her writings on that topic and she was such a great influence and inspiration for the <a href="https://troet.cafe/tags/spinning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#spinning</a> community.I Want to Tell You About My Friend – PLY Magazine <a href="https://plymagazine.com/2025/02/i-want-to-tell-you-about-my-friend/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://plymagazine.com/2025/02/i-want-to-tell-you-about-my-friend/</a><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/spinning" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@spinning</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/fiberarts" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@fiberarts</a> <a href="https://troet.cafe/tags/fiberarts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fiberarts</a>

Terri K O 🍁Finally finished the last of my spindle turtles!I'd originally thought to ply these in pairs but decided after the first one that I'd chain ply because I liked the smoother gradient I'd get that way. This is 2oz of fiber from Fully Spun in the Omnisexual Pride colourway. The plan will be to use it in some colourwork, probably a hat or mitts.<a href="https://social.afront.org/tags/spinning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#spinning</a> <a href="https://social.afront.org/tags/SpindleSpinning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SpindleSpinning</a> <a href="https://social.afront.org/tags/DropSpindle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DropSpindle</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/spinning" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@spinning</a>

KymberlyWhile I’m still slowly knitting up (down?) the sleeves of the jumper, to give my angry wrist a break, I have been continuing to spin up the colourful advent calendar from das-wollschaf.de.The grey Blue Faced Leicester was so awesomely soft and squishy, but with the sari seide flecks, looked like those compressed fabric sheets used for insulation or old cleaning rags. So I plied it with another blue blend (merino, stellina) from the calendar. The other two are merino.Little samples are great for new spinners (or newish like me) to learn what is fun to spin - sari seide isn’t my cup of tea! And good to see what base fiber would make a lovely squishy jumper - definitely fell in love with BFL even though it wasn’t as much fun to spun as merino. <a href="https://old.mermaid.town/tags/spinning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#spinning</a> <a href="https://old.mermaid.town/tags/handspun" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#handspun</a> <a href="https://old.mermaid.town/tags/FiberArts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FiberArts</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/fiberarts" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@fiberarts</a>

🇵🇸 Mari :nb_crossbow:fiber arts friends - I have another friend who's interested in getting back into spinning. she's shopping for fiber, and I want to direct her to cool folks to get fiber from! she's currently using a drop spindle, and looking at kick spindles, so is also interested in second-hand / cheaper ones.please send me links to pass along!<a href="https://spanner.works/tags/FiberArt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FiberArt</a> <a href="https://spanner.works/tags/spinning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#spinning</a> <a href="https://spanner.works/tags/recommendations" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#recommendations</a>

BlackPixelDust: Art :autism:I have a LOT of handspun yarn to use. A LOT. Did I say that before? Some of it is older and bulkier. I rarely use bulky anymore... I have been spinning DK because all the sweaters I want to make are that weight. 🙃<a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/knitting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#knitting</a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/crochet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#crochet</a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/spinning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#spinning</a>

BlackPixelDust: Art :autism:Doing a variety of crafts is helping me right now, mentally. I think counting down my stash (and counting up handspun skeins) is helping me to work towards a goal of continuing to use my stash. Numbers and comparisons are fun sometimes. But at the moment, not so much. Maybe I'll show stats in the future?Watching other folks process and spin their fiber helps right now too.<a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/knitting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#knitting</a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/crochet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#crochet</a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/spinning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#spinning</a>

BlackPixelDust: Art :autism:I've been tracking how much yarn and (crochet) thread I use in my fiber arts notebook.(Yes, I bookbound my own notebook but it doesn't look pretty yet so no pics. 😅)Since 2022? I never calculated how much I used up per year. I don't have time. But seeing myself actually using up my acrylics and sweater quantities, while actually making progress towards spinning up these fleeces is nice.Idk if I should actually calculate the numbers like an actual "stash down".<a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/knitting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#knitting</a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/crochet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#crochet</a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/spinning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#spinning</a>

consumableJoy<a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/FiberGoals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FiberGoals</a> update: 5 minutes or more of <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/FiberArts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FiberArts</a> 24/31 days, better than I expected. Made a couple of hexiflats including handspun ones. Made some progress on the washcloth for my dad (plus giving him an already completed one). The main thing is the regular fiberarts work, which was mostly spinning with the supported spindles but also some spinning on my wheel and some plying. Very little actual knitting. Still happy with progress! <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/knitting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#knitting</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/spinning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#spinning</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/handspun" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#handspun</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/@consumablejoy/113756208408207812" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://wandering.shop/@consumablejoy/113756208408207812</a>

VereeshI've been dyeing some new wool using several shades of kool-aid. This is 8 oz of blue-faced Leicester. I doubled the strand of roving, and poured my dye to make a long gradient. Image hidden because it looks like it could be a pan of guts, but it's just wet wool. Very pretty once you know what it is. <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/spinning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#spinning</a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/handspinning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#handspinning</a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/handmade" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#handmade</a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/dyeing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dyeing</a> <a href="https://masto.ai/tags/Koolaid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Koolaid</a>

Terri K O 🍁Today is the last day of the 100-day spin a long thing I've been doing, so here's the current state of my drop spindle. I'm on the last single for this project and I likely won't finish it today but maybe soon? <a href="https://social.afront.org/tags/spinning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#spinning</a> <a href="https://social.afront.org/tags/DropSpindle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DropSpindle</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/spinning" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@spinning</a>

consumableJoyI have gotten good enough with a supported spindle now that I can spin under the desk while on a teams call with the camera on. If you work with me (you know who you are) please don’t tell anyone 😜! I won’t do it often because I still need to be able to take notes and present and talk but it’s nice to know I can. Really helps the ADHD. <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/spinning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#spinning</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/FiberArts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FiberArts</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/HandSpinning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HandSpinning</a>

flips [they/them]I have a cold but I'm still well eough to lie down and knit. So knit I did. I finished a scarf and a pair of socks and frogged a cowl that I started with too small needles and cast it on again. I am using handspun yarn for the colour changing bits and I love how it is turning out. The pattern is the forests of Arda cowl by Melanie Rountree. My first time doing cables and colourwork at the same time but it works up quite fast. (Could also be the 7mm needles lol) <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/knitting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#knitting</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/spinning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#spinning</a>

consumableJoyI completed a 3rd handspun hexiflat (top middle). It’s a little larger due to thicker yarn but by the time I have 500 more and sew them up I’m sure that’ll block right out”. Plus I’ll have lots of slightly different sizes to mix and match. I wonder if I’ll remember the provenance of each of my hexiflats. Maybe the handspun ones, if I take notes. Bottom middle, a hexiflat made from regular fingering sock yarn (not handspun). <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/knitting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#knitting</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/handspun" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#handspun</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/handspinning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#handspinning</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/spinning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#spinning</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/FiberArts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FiberArts</a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/BeekeepersQuilt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BeekeepersQuilt</a>
