My new Spanish Peacock spindle arrived today! Totally made my day. This is a very late birthday present to myself. Highly recommend if you can get your hands on one. #handspun #handspinning #yarn 🧶

Finished this spindle just in time for the end of Tour De Fleece! #handspinning #handspun #wool #yarn 🧶

Today I’m doing some plying for Tour De Fleece. This is how I chain my single and wind it onto a bobbin. #tdf2025 #handspun #yarn 🧶

I did some chain plying yesterday for Tour De Fleece. I am so happy with how this yarn is coming out. I’m going for fingering weight. #tdf2025 #handspun #yarn 🧶

Working on my next spindle of Shetland/Silk for Tour De Fleece. My partner printed me this new sparkly green spindle. It matches perfectly! #tdf2025 #handspun #yarn 🧶

Day 5 of Tour De Fleece and I finished 1oz each of BFL and Shetland/silk blend. Both spindles are pretty much filled to their limit. #tdf2025 #handspun #wool 🧶

I’ve been working on this Shetland/Silk blend that I got at a trunk show a few weeks ago. I love the color, it’s kind of like a copper patina. #handspinning #handspun #tdf2025 #wool #yarn

Happy Tour De Fleece Day 1! Working on some BFL that I am hoping to chain ply. #tdf2025 #wool #handspinning #handspun #yarn 🧶

My spindles are all cleared of yarn and ready to start Tour De Fleece 2025! My only goal is to spin each day of the event. The challenges look fun but I need this to be simple and fun. Looking forward to seeing what everyone else spins! #tdf2025

This guy sounds presidential.

Check out the luster on this Alpaca/Silk blend from Paradise Fibers! It is so soft and drapey too. The high silk content gives it almost a metallic sheen. Not the easiest to spin but so gorgeous! #handspinning #handspun #yarn 🧶

Four bobbins ready for chain plying! From right to left: Zwartbles, Herdwick, Manx Loughton and Alpaca/Silk. #handspun #handspinning #yarn #wool 🧶

I just picked up some new fiber to play with at the Keira Wiggins trunk show at Yarnia in Montclair, NJ. I have no idea what I’m going to do with them but I thought the blends looked interesting. #handspinning #handspun

My package of fiber for #TourDeFleece just arrived from Paradise Fibers! I got some BFL and some Shetland. Two of my favorite breeds to spin so far. I can’t wait to start working with them! #handspinning #handspun

I’ve been working on spinning this Gotland as well. It’s a tricky fiber, much more slippery that the other samples I’ve done. The luster makes it worth it. #handspinning #handspun #wool #yarn 🧶

My next spin is this gorgeous dark brown Corriedale. It has a small amount of kemp in it. I’ve been picking out a lot of it. #handspinning #handspun #wool #yarn 🧶

This Shetland is quickly earning its place as one of my favorite fibers to spin. Trying a new technique for winding on the cop and it looks much neater as well. #handspinning #handspun #wool #yarn 🧶

This Swaledale was a pretty nice spin. Definitely on the coarser side. I think this would have chain plied up beautifully. #handspinning #handspun #wool #yarn 🧶

Some chain plied merino. So far Merino is my least favorite breed to spin. Chain plying gives a really nice result though. #handspun #handspinning #wool #yarn 🧶

I’ve learned recently that my spindle prefers to spin longer staple fibers. I really struggled with some merino recently but this bit of Devon is coming out beautifully. The larger micron count might also be helping. #handspun #handspinning #wool #yarn 🧶
