Flora's Fiber Farrago

Friendly reminder that behind the nice finished pieces are plenty of imperfect and failed ones. Got one part of this large Knitty Noddy done, but the second decided it wanted to go on an adventure and glob on the nozzle.

I'm sitting on the couch with crochet project in hand, with tortishell cat on my lap and terrier mix dog on my legs.

I sat down to crochet for a bit while I finished my tea, intending to get up to do baking & laundry. Furry fam has other ideas. at least they are both getting along and I have my project in reach.

Sounds like a good find!

a vintage rag rug loom from the back, with a rainbow warp wrapped on it

To quote a friend, I "hit the crafting jackpot" with this Union Loom which I disassembled & brought home today. so worth the drive. Will likely be a bit before weaving, as I want to give it a good clean, but it's in great shape!
Now I'm off to wash the box of fabric it came with.

A tortoiseshell cat laying on a dark wood table with her front paws on a square of woven fabric made on a pin loom, next to more squares that intended to be sewn together

I was going to sew together some pin loom square after eating my breakfast this morning, but the autumn sunshine has brought out furry supervisor Athena who has chosen this square as her own.

close up of a partially completed 3d print in sage green. print is a square with points along all sides.

I am so thrilled with the interest shown in my 3d printed pin looms during Autumn Fiber Festival, I sold out of all of them I had in inventory! Currently printing some more in green, which will be on my website soon if interested. ☺️🧶🍂

A saori floor look positioned at an angle with a woven piece with black warp yarn and pink, purple, and green weft yarn, with speckles of neps in rainbow colors. Sunshine washes over the entire picture providing a warm light.

Nothing calls me to the loom so strongly as the morning sun on a partial weave 🌅
Doing some clasped weft with 2 colors from @laughingcatfibers.bsky.social and the colors are even more awesome in person!

a pumpkin orange yarn bowl with black speckles being held in front of a 3d printer.

fresh off the 3d printer, today's yarn bowl is giving fall pumpkin vibes and I just love it! it finished with enough times to clean up the supports and join me at @pindrop.fiber.arts.festival tomorrow from noon to 7!
#3dprinting #fibertools #yarnbowl #fiberfestival

Yarn bowl almost done being 3d printed. I love the randomness of the multi colored filament. I can't decide if this is giving sunrise or fruit salad vibes, what do you think?

I took pictures this past weekend at Wool Gathering, but didn't post, so here are the pictures now. I had such an amazing time! So excited that so many people were interested in pin looms that I sold out. I'll be printing more to take to Pin Drop Fiber Festival Saturday #fiberart #fiberfestival

This summer flew by, and I'm so excited for fall fiber festivals to start up. Things kick off for me this weekend at @youngsdairy ! Always an amazing festival, come get some ice cream & check out some weaving goodies!

Recently completed box knot bag, love the color combination in this one, mix of textures too.
Once again it's a great pattern from Motif Studio Patterns. This is a go to for small to medium fiber projects.

I blended this batt with @laughingcatfibers.bsky.social when she was at The Artful Yarn, it was a lovely time blending fiber and spinning, and this swamp moss vibes have made for a great textured yarn.

Off white Tunis pencil roving in an oblong bump with tag from Red Rope Farm, sitting next to small e-spinner with a silver bobbin, that is almost half full of spun yarn.

Been spinning some singles of Tunis for the past few days of #tourdefleece2025 on my EEW Nano 2. This fiber fluffs up a lot while drafting, so I feel like 4 oz is going to go a long way, and I have 16 oz total in my stash.

All set up for day one of MAFA!

Newly 3d modeled (by husband, Tony) & 3d printed with a shiny base plate. Will be bringing a few of these to MAFA later this week. This size is great for trying out new Yarns & is a go to for me.
Design based on a pin loom Ullvuna used to sell that I loved

New time lapse of weaving on my Saori loom & taking the fabric off the loom -- one of the most satisfying things as a maker.
