a niddy noddy sporting purplish laceweight handspun yarn, spun by me.
a gorgeous skein of that same laceweight yarn.
Okey dokey... here's the finished stuff!
370 yards, 5.5 ounces, 1076 yards per pound which the grist calculator calculates as laceweight.
BUT, isn't around 1076 ypp a worsted-ish weight?
My brain hurts.
HOWEVER, I am very, very happy with this yarn

A *bleepin* sweater quantity of mostly hand dyed fiber braids for hand spinning. Blue, green, cream, rust, purple, beige, and magenta. This is going to be amazeballs.
I've been away from spinning for about 8 years, so I completely missed the #combospinning boat. And I gotta say, HOW DID I MISS THE COMBO SPINNING BOAT?
This is all Fiber of Yore, some as much at 15 years old.
GUESS WHAT I'M GOING TO DO WITH IT...

A big, fat, juicy bobbin of purple plied yarn. Yum.
Juicy...
Done, except for measuring and wet finishing.
The way the colors stacked surprised me. There were what I though was vast expanses of pale, almost white lavender and I was afraid that they'd all end up plied together making long whitish blobs, but no!

A Lendrum spinning wheel with a load of purple pouf to spin
... that by plying from a center-wound ball, you actually add more twist.
That seems to work just fine for me.
Spin on!

This WoolLee Winder is always bottom heavy.
I had to squoosh the singles up to the middle with my thumbs to make enough room for the whole magilla.

Did an increase round and actually have the right number of stitches! Had to do the weaving the orange yarn through it but I got the same number twice & it's what I was aiming for so yay!

Knitting needle with stitches cast on in a dark purple yarn. There is a bright orange acrylic yarn woven back and forth through the cast on every 5 stitches.

Casting on #Flax in #handspun yarn.
I struggle to count so I weave orange acrylic yarn between every 5 stitches. I can just pull it out when I go round the second time.

I never thought I'd spend so much more time spinning yarn than actually making anything with it, but that's where we are on the ADHD crafting roulette wheel. #handspun #dropspindle

From the side, an 8 shaft Schact Baby Wolf showing warp between the heddles and cloth beam. Yarn is black in the foreground and background, grey and mixed grey/black as it progresses across the warp. Little glints of rainbow color are visible in the black from the firestar. Yarn is merino/firestar from Camaj Fiber Arts color names "fancy crow" and "sterling"
Loom is dressed! Just need to tie up the treadles and I can start…figuring out exactly what I’m going to do with the two (or possibly three) weft yarns. 1/3 #weaving #handweaving #handspun #merino #silk #yak

A small crescent lace shawl in gradient shades of cream, pink, purple, and gray curled loosely on a table
A crumpled crescent lace shawl in gradient shades of cream, pink, purple, and gray before blocking, you can't see any lace yet
A small crescent lace shawl pinned out on blocking mats and wires in gradient shades of cream, pink, purple, and gray.
The same shawl after blocking, with the wires removed. You can see the lace bit it isn't stretched taut, it's curling a little at the edges.
I have a new finished project for this week's #showmeyourknits theme of lace, the simple yet striking "beautiful cobweb" by Susan Ashcroft. Knit using a #handspun Wensleydale gradient dyed by @ixchelbunny.bsky.social . I love to see the blocking process, so I'm sharing those pics too!

View of back of Schact Baby Wolf loom, looking directly down at the warp which is loaded with black, black/grey, and grey yarn. the harnesses and heddles are visible at the top of the image, the warp beam is visible at the bottom of the image.
Warp beam loaded. Some day I'll calculate my spools right - had to spin more black/grey plied, wind more spools for the black. Now I have to figure out how to space the extra heddles. Only 8 epi and using 24 of 26" that's a lot of heddles to disperse. #weaving #handwoven #handspun

A hand holds a natural and brightly coloured skein of hand spun 2 ply yarn, just washed, with a tabby cat blurred in the background.
Small nests of mixed-colour fiber pulled from a drum carded batt sit on a wooden kitchen bench - naturals and brightly coloured merino, randomly blended.
A jumble of natural and brightly coloured merino tops rest on a kitchen bench next to an Ashford manual drum carder.
Really happy with how this random merino blend turned out! Now, I need to work out what to do with it - knit or weave?

Brown yarn swimming in water with a sink stopper.
I don't feel the need to watch the SOTU. I can spin my own yarns, like this one.
The wool is a little light when dry. It's wool dyed with walnut.
