The Fiber Imp

After a very long battle with multiple myeloma, my mom has passed away. It's been a few weeks since she passed and I'm starting to come up for air but it's been slow, grief is hard. I don't think losing your mother is something you ever truly recover from. I miss her so much.

Today I'm braiding up some Lemongrass! The snow has finally melted and I'm impatiently waiting for signs of spring to poke their noses out of the ground. For now I'll have to pretend with this fun blend of merino, silk and bamboo in pretty greens and yellows 🥰

Today I'm braiding up a bump of Queen Of Hearts! She's a merino / flax blend that's spins up into a super unique yarn 💕

Today I'm braiding up my very favorite colourway, Spellbound. I just love the way the colours come together and the silk makes it so soft and shiny 😍

It's another dreary snowy day so we're carding up some bright spring colours to bring a little cheer into our day!

Shown here is black merino and hot pink sari silk carded on our Louet extra large drum carder.

I'm just getting started on my reading trackers, one for audiobooks and one for actual books and each has a page for non fiction and a page for fiction. As someone who really enjoys learning, I'm hoping this will nudge me into reading a little fiction here and there too!

Today we're braiding Gold Rush. A sparkly merino blend with bright golden oranges 💕

Today I'm carding up some rainbow sari batts on black merino! These are so soft and have beautiful pops of colour when you spin them up!

Carder is the Louet wide carder. It's my favorite carder for making up art batts. Head to our website if you'd like one for yourself!

Today I'm making up a set of alpaca batts! These are a blend of white, fawn, brown and black baby alpaca and they're sooo soft 💕

The carder is the Ashford wide carder. It's phenomenal for very fine fibers.

Making some progress on my Electricity sweater. It's turning out so much better than I expected! I was a bit worried about all of the modifications I made but so far so good 💕

Yarn is The Fiber Imp, Breezy and Angel in lace weight, held double to make fingering weight.

After a lot 😅 of ball winding my very well used knit picks ball winder has given up the ghost.

Any suggestions for a good quality ball winder?

Progress has been made on passion project 2025!

I also had a teeny tiny bit of room left in my dye cabinet so I'll have two new rambouillet colourways ready in the next few days!

It's been far too long since I've had a passion project to throw my creative energies into so this weekend I decided it's finally time! A dye day just for me 🥰

You'll have to wait and see what they're going to become 😉

Thankfully I have zero chill when I'm excited so you won't have to wait long 🤣

Happy 💕 day everyone! I hope you're all having a wonderful day filled with lots of pretty fluff!

A few more listings of handspun are live in the shop!

It's a snow day today (again!) so I'm catching up on some braiding. This is Neptune Rising on superfine merino.

Thank you!

One of my favorite ways to use lace weight yarn is combining two different colourways to make a fingering weight yarn with fantastic colour variations.

Here I'm combining Angel and Breezy in lace weight merino.

Skeining up some freshly made handspun 💕

What are you up to this weekend?
