That spindle of yours is exquisit! Where did you get it from? (Your handspun is gorge, too! ;)

A wooden drop spindle with white yarn and colorful tweedy bits in neon pink, black, light green and purple on grey wooden planks. Next to it a big wooden knitting needle holding a make-shift storage bobbin, onto which the spindle spun Single is being rewound.

My Tour de Fleece ! Just wound the first spin onto a storage bobbin.

Wow! So pretty! Gorgeous colors!! 🔥

Uuuhh! Pretty! 🔥

Natural fibre braid on grey wooden planks next to two swirls of berry purple and grass green dyed fibre, showing glossy white streaks of nettle fibre.

My first fibre dyeing experiments. Easter egg color on merino with nettle. 🤍💜💚

A swirl of spinning fibre in purple with light streaks; on light grey wooden planks. Next to it a wooden drop spindle with a octagonal whirl. Some of the purple fibre is already spun into singles and wrapped onto the shaft.

Can't wait for tour de Fleece! My plan is to spin with my drop spindle, which has not seen as much love as it deserves during the last year. In order to prepare mentally and physically, I'm spinning up this fun merino/linen fibre. How do you prepare?! #tourdefleece2025 #dropspindel #handspinning

An afternoon in the park, and I'm walking along the pond with high reeds dancing in a mild breeze. It is spring and a light jeans Jacket together with my bright pink Printemps hat is all I need to enjoy the outside.

Different sized Printemps Hats in bright pink, rainbow striped and muted tones prepped on weathered grey wood planks.

Happy spring! Just a year ago I released my Printemps Hat pattern 🎉

Simple lace patterns are so effective and satisfying.

Bird view on a white, modern looking spinning wheel, and a hand feeding fibre onto the bobbin. In the background a treddeling foot dressed in a handknit sock. Next to it on one side some empty and a couple of filled spinning bobbins, on the other side a succulent.

A hand holding a fluffy cloud of Qiviut down prep for spinning against a background of grey wooden planks.

Currently I am spinning Qiviut. It's quite slippery but I think I got it down (:-D pun not intended).
With my Woolmakers bliss wheel I feel like I can tackle anything. Bring on the straw! 🌾🛞🪙

Just dipped my toes into lace knitting and designed an easy lace sweater :) it's so much fun. Pattern is currently in test knitting :)

Yarn shops and book stores, those are my happy places ❤️

Very pretty arrangement! I'm just starting book 2.5 from the Kingkiller chronicals by Patrick Rothfuss. Such freaking good books.

And I don't see a problem with that 🙂‍↕️

Close up on knitted brioche texture with gorgeous stitch definition, in a beautiful greige hue.

In the foreground a ball of greige, sport weight yarn in greige, and it being knitted up into brioche blurred in the background. Olive wood circular needles with a shiny detail glissent through the last worked row of stitches.

Right now I'm totally into neutrals. And working on a raglan staple for my wardrobe. #fontyCyclade may very well be my favourite yarn, recycled and locally made by Fonty. In a fantastic greige :) #skyknit #knitspiration #briocheknitting #recycledyarn #sportweightyarn

Skeins of greige colored handspun with a spinning bobbin propped up on it, lying on grey wooden planks. In the background a blurred white cup with coffee.

My last spin was a 2ply shetland. A very satisfying experience :) still pondering which project to use it for. Maybe a lace top?

A neon pink handknit sock placed on a Mable restaurant table, amidst cutlery, glasses and a cuppa.

Zoomed in detail of handknit socks, showing the stockinette stitch definition, flegle heel construction and subtle purple and orange color changes in bright pink handspun yarn.

Finally! My handspun 4ply socks are knit, ends are woven in and they're ready to wear!
Happy to be here :) 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️♀️♿
