YouTube video by ExpertlyDyed Shetland wool has a massive spinning and knitting tradition.

Shetland wool is way more complicated than I thought when I first spun it. I'm glad I held off making a Fiber Talk episode about it. The episode is coming, but here's why it took so long:

How do you analyse handspun samples? I'm wearing my scientific hat today as I go through my samples and record their grist and twist angle.

The results are to be expected, but some bits were a bit of a surprise!

And Happy Samhain too. As the harvest rolls in and people settle for a wintry hibernation, it's the perfect time to build skills. I've gotten a great deal of experience with spinning longdraw from a fleece, but combed top can be a bit tricky. I'm trying to resolve some of those issues so I can present a new tutorial for you guys. And as a bonus, I'm pairing it with a Fiber Talk episode!I'll also be uploading a new video this afternoon with first access to my patrons. Check out my YouTube channel for the premiere! I'm doing an unboxing video...#handspunyarn #kromskiminstrel #spinnersofinstagram #slowcraft #slowfashion #wheelspinners #britishwool #handspun #handmade #notai #handspinning #handspinner #youtuber

Do you smoosh your face into freshly hanked yarn? It's okay if you do, I do. I'll also wind it into a hank, wiggle it at my partner and demand he smoosh it too. I love that he humours me. After the squish, he says something like "oh, that's really soft!"

Who's the enabler here, amirite? 🧐😅🤣🤣

Unlike handdyed yarn, dyeing wool in a repeatable fashion is more difficult because of how the wool wicks water and draws up dye, and how it takes longer for the acid to chemically alter the surface of the wool so the dye stays permanently. Shifting around hot wool in the dye pan is inadvisable.

Endless Dream. 2025. Acid dyes on Merino wool. Handdyed products are literally works of art. If I kept this recipe, which I haven't, it would be difficult to replicate this colourway precisely.

Silk and wool go together like butter on toast.

On a cool autumnal morning, all you want is beautiful accessories. This is the latest batch of yarns I've been remaking for the @cotswoldwoolweekend this weekend being held at the @cornhallmarketscirencester 😁

There's no room for far right extremism in the US and UK. Their "policies" are short sighted and destructive, only insulating the mega wealthy. There is insufficient space to convey my rage at Reform polling.

Do your homework, ask questions.

Anything before coffee is a win, but even more so when it is so interconnected! I might need to make some more blue batts and draw on these Greek myth sea themes 🧐🤓

Oh, that's a really good one! Why didn't I think of that? I've literally only played D&D for 21 years and BG3 for 750+ hours... 😅😂 I appear to have forgotten all my Greek mythology though 😭

I'm getting ready for the Cotswold Wool Weekend on October 4 & 5 in Cirencester! You can squish this #handspun in person, or buy it online at www.expertlydyed.com (it'll be listed this weekend) ☺️

Thanks for the name suggestions everyone!

#knitting #weaving

💯 It's got that distinctly magical vibe for sure!

Yes! Especially the swirling fiber in the second image 🤔

Saturday spins are so relaxing. I give myself a luxurious 2 hour start to the day, complete with 2 cups of coffee.

My conundrum? WHAT DO I NAME THIS YARN?!😂😅 "Sea Breeze"? "Fairy Light"? Ideas appreciated 😊😬

I’m biased, because it’s Norfolk, but this pingo resurrection project is glorious, joyous & hopeful. Worth a read

Thank you! I also love my decision to ply the lighter yarn. I'll post an update when it's washed and dried 😊😉

I am preparing for some upcoming wool shows and realised I'm running low on handspun yarn! I love being a yarn designer 😊
