The red is alpaca and blue is superwash merino. Carded 40/60 ratio on drumcarder and it produces this beautifully drapey maroon yarn #handspunyarn

Love those buttons too- thrift store bargain. This pattern is called the Pelica Vest and done entirely in garter stitch, and seamlessly. #showmeyourknits #knittingwithhandspun

#knittingwithhandspun is sooo satisfying #showmeyourknits

Beautiful dusk light on an overcast day highlights the cool tones in this fibre. Hope I have enough for a cropped cardigan! #handspunyarn

Starting another spinning project with these black merino tops. Super easy to spin. #handspun #handspinning

That’s impressive!

I am ready for winter

I’m so happy with it, thanks!

thank you!

I’m learning how to sew, and used my woollen handwoven panels made on my #rididheddle loom. Big learning curve, and am keen to make more clothes. #wearyourweaving #handsewn

I’m cool inside, playing with my drumcarder and scrappy yarn. Filled up all water bowls for the poor bees and birds

Here’re the original colours of the fibres before blending on my drumcarder. I love the resulting lavender coloured handspun yarn.

That’s gorgeous!

Beautiful knitting, her patterns are always great.

That’s awfully stunning!

I love blending fibre in my drumcarder; look at that lovely lavender! I bought the pink and blue tops cheaply, at my local woollen mill, as discard fibre. It’s so handy to experiment with, lucky me! #handspinning #fibreprep

I’d love to have this handy tool but it’s so expensive! I make do by clamping one of my handcarders onto my working table.

It’s fabulous! Just wow!

First project of 2026 is the chevron sweater from Noro pattern book, using some wildly coloured handspun yarn. #knittingwithhandspun #handspinning

I love wearing vests with my dresses. This is another Pelica Vest. #showmeyourknitting #slowfashion #handknit

Very pretty green and you spinning is 🥳

I struggled with the pattern instructions for this Pelica Vest, and had to redo the shoulder bits a couple of times, but this seamless knit was worth it. Made with my 3ply handspun from 2 Corriedale sheep. #handspun

😂 toilet rolls actually 🫣

Garter stitch eats up the yardage, it’s going to be really warm accessory. #knitting #handspunyarn

Chonky skeins, this came to 355g and handspun in DK weight. No idea what to make with it yet, do it goes into storage. Made from handdyed fleece and commercial tops, and drumcarded also with wool left over from our local mills. It’s an upcycled mishmash! #handspunyarn

Wow! They’re so pretty and inviting🌸

How glorious!!

That’s such a cutie!

I bought one too this year; I’m obsessed! Ha
