My #musselburgh hat is fully done (blocked). It matches my Abbey Road Kerchief pretty well! Yarns are my handspun (color shifting) and Jill Draper Makes Stuff Ansel. It's really cozy, perfect for this cold snap we're getting.

The metallic effect is so lovely, I can't bear to cover it up with another layer. Time to start another spindle, I guess.

An update on the Buoy #handspun from a plying ball: it worked pretty well, and I only had to edit once because a loopy bit got past my attention. Just over 275 yards unwashed. I plied it all onto one spindle like a crazy person.

The HipStrings Buoy fiber is ready for plying. I've been slow to return to using a plying ball because previously I did not wind one tight enough, resulting in uneven tension that seemed to get worse as I went along. Let's see how this one goes...

Finished a batch of BFL yarn spun from sunset-colored fauxlags today while at work. I've incorporated stages of this spin in between more structured activities with my elderly friends. The colors really match a picture hanging in our main room.

Just a representative post for a day of spinning with friends at a favorite yarn shop.

I got the #spindle, which I love, from Dan Brewer at the Garden State Sheep Breeders festival.

Wool is Hipstrings Buoy (BFL/ Shetland/ Manx Loaghtan)

Die Spindeleien wurden verzwirnt und werden in meine dauerhaft wachsende Grannystripe-Decke wandern. Und das nächste Spindelprojekt ist schon geplant☺️

Relearning an old skill, slowly building muscle memory.

I got 221.6 yards of qiviut yarn out of the 1 ounce of fiber. This is my first laceweight project. I am ridiculously proud of this spin. Now to find just the right knitting project for it. #handspun #yarnspinner #qiviutyarn #spindlespun #spindlelazykate #yarn #handspunyarn #yarnlover #laceweightyarn

A little spindle time this morning. I need more yarn for my hat! The first batch was spun in...2017? So it's a fun challenge to try to match my spinning 😁

I finished my Polworth spin!!!
I had a tiny bit leftover and the chain ply was even better than the fractal! Ah! I should've sampled ahead of time. 😮‍💨
Still, a beautiful squishy worsted weight. This is the most yarn i have ever spindle spun and plied and i ADORE it. #handspun #spindlespun #spindle

Take the quiet trail.
Feels uncertain, but the path
might bring clarity.

This was spinning/knitting obsession. Started spinning July 25 '22 & cast off Oct 31, '22. I never knit or spin this fast. Still love it & wear it all the time. Can't seem to get good shots of it in its entirety though - the silk does weird things. #showmeyourknits #knitsky #handspun #spindlespun

Wool and sari silk blend leftovers from TDF. Finally getting around to finishing it. trying plying on Turkish spindle and really enjoying the process! I know, I'm surprised as well. 😆
Single on the far left was an attempt at winding with no temp cop and it is an unholy mess. #handspun #spindlespun

I’m so proud of this! It’s my first usable skein of handspun yarn. Also the first time I spin and ply so many meters of yarn. It still has some thick and thin spots, not perfect by any means but it’s knittable 😅

Three skeins of yarn.  Two are light purple, one is a wild rainbow of colors.

Three skeins of yarn. Two are light purple, one is a wild rainbow of colors.

The yarn is some #SpindleSpun from when I was just learning. It's uneven and has variable amounts of twist. However most of that disappears when it's knit, even in plain stockinette. Moral of the story? Use your beginner yarn!

A triangular knit shawl in a rainbow of colours suspended on a red brock wall. The shawl is knit in brioche stitch with ridges of knit stitches radiating from the spine of the shawl towards the edges making a squishy soft fabric. The colours run from green, yellow, orange, red, purple, blue and back to green and yellow, blending into each other as the colours chang. On the long edges of the shawl is a black and white icord edge.
