Happy with this #overshot sample
Thinking Iโ€™ll try some doubleweave โ€œovershotโ€ next to test out 8 shafts

I say โ€œsweaterโ€ spin in quotes, because Iโ€™m hoping to use one of these big spins for the pattern weft in some overshot weaving instead

Prepping for another @helloyarn.bsky.social โ€œsweaterโ€ 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.

#handspun from #honerocheir fiber that will probably become some socks

Thank you! Yeah! I am planning to do a traditional 3ply and knit it into a cabled sweater (:

Prepping some batts for a #tourdefleece sweater spin. All colors were dyed by me (: and all except for the neon green were naturally dyed with marigold, madder and indigo.

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

Haha ๐Ÿ˜† yeah I like that it has a little more depth too? Thatโ€™s definitely the one Iโ€™m leaning towards

Iโ€™m 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 Iโ€™m leaning towards the more blue/green one. Thoughts?

So Iโ€™ve 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 canโ€™t decide which of the two blends I like more!

Iโ€™ve been sampling for a TdF sweater spin. I have these super fine gray shetland batts, but theyโ€™re pretty neppy and I didnโ€™t enjoy trying to spin them on their own.

OBSESSED with my new wheel. She is so smooth and easy to spin (supported) long draw, which is my preference, and just pretty to look at.

And just in time for #tourdefleece!

Spinning some batts and rolags. Iโ€™m 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? ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿงถ

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.
