Thinking Iโll try some doubleweave โovershotโ next to test out 8 shafts

Loving the colors in this sample. Almost done with this then itโs time to try an 8 shaft project

I say โsweaterโ spin in quotes, because Iโm hoping to use one of these big spins for the pattern weft in some overshot weaving instead

Prepping for another @helloyarn.bsky.social โsweaterโ spin. I have 3 big balls like this - each is a hello yarn braid with 1/3 of a Jakira Farm braid to add in some more light blues.

The base of the batt is some superfine and medium #shetland

Haha ๐ yeah I like that it has a little more depth too? Thatโs definitely the one Iโm leaning towards
23.06.2025 12:46 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Iโm planning on a 3 ply for a somewhat fitted cabled sweater since I tend to spin all 2 ply and wanted to try something different. I think Iโm leaning towards the more blue/green one. Thoughts?

So Iโve been experimenting with blending them with some medium white shetland as a less sproingy/fine base, and then adding some naturally dyed misc locks (mostly Navajo-Churro). Now I canโt decide which of the two blends I like more!

And just in time for #tourdefleece!

Spinning some batts and rolags. Iโm hoping to start selling some batts, focusing on ones that will produce layered, tweedy yarns like these (especially the one on the right). Anyone interested? Do people like buying 50 or 100g at a time? Sweater quantities? ๐๐งถ

Hoping to get them cleaned in the coming weeks so theyโre ready to go when Iโm ready to use them!

Recent #fleece acquisitions. Black romney, black CVM lamb, CVM (very dirty, going to need a lot of work, but the good parts are gorgeous), and a very light gray/white romney cross. I have about 8 fleeces to scour in my stash.
