Very inconsistent 14 WPI 2 ply corriedale spun on my new Snyder spindle and measured on my gorgeous new WPI tool from Woodchuck Products at MD sheep and wool

Not too upset for my first spin on a cross arm spindle

My haul from MD sheep and wool festival. My list of wants was a diz, a wpi tool, and a niddy noddy

Left with a diz, WPI tool, 2 spindles, wood handled seam ripper, angora bun batt, test roving for the spindles, a shawl and a shawl pin, 2 Crane ornaments, madder, and some end minders

Went to MD sheep and wool today and picked up my first Turkish spindle. Went with a Snyder as I'd heard only good things. @senesced.bsky.social I feel like you'd approve

Ahh that looks so good! I love the idea to have it hanging from a crochet piece. I made something similar for my house

Casting on the hand spun alpaca musselburgh so I can just mindlessly knit on my 12 hour flight tomorrow

Managed to make these rolags out of my combing discard. Never really tried a woolen prep before so I'm excited to see how this spins up!

Got myself a comb and hackle set and made my first three birds nests. Can't wait to see how these spin up compared to the fairly textured batt they came from.

Next goal is learn to comb with less waste material if possible

All skeined up. Think I'll spin another skein of just the cinnamon color for the other half of a Musselburgh

225 yards of hand spun 3 color 3-ply alpaca measured up and going to soak.

Around 11-13 wpi pretty consistently. My absolute most usable spin so far. Think I'll try and knit this into a Musselburgh hat

This skein, and 1 bobbin of a planned 3 for a three ply alpaca was all I was able to complete for #spintogether

Still gonna work on the other two alpaca colors for the rest of the day

Finished and skeined up. I can't believe I Made this yarn

This is gonna be a problem because I can spin a yard faster than I can knit one
February 27, 2025 at 2:30 AM
236 yards measured on a cat tree because I can't be bothered to get a niddy noddy

My longest spin yet and it feels like such an accomplishment. Unfortunately this partially felted braid I started with is too scratchy for me to wear so open to ideas for what to make with it

Question for spinners how would you prepare this wool for spinning?

It's got lots of curls, clumps and some VM in it, so I'm not able to spin as consistently as I'd like. It was fine for learning on but after spinning some other fibers I'm starting to think this is a prep issue and not a me issue
February 26, 2025 at 12:16 AM
The good news: I can see my spinning improvement with this fiber from my first bobbin to the second

The bad news: my two plies are gonna be very distant relatives instead of twins

Plied up two nano bobbins of alpaca on my new #eew 6.1. this thing is so much more powerful, the uptake is beautiful, and my yarn has yet to get caught on the guides. The foot switch is also fun. Also the bobbins feel enormous after using the nano

Back to alpaca, warming up for Spin Together this weekend and hyping myself up for my eew 6.1 to arrive.

I think I figured out how and when to move my yarn guides bc this is the smoothest bobbin I've ever spun

The wisterias look so good but take so long I was SO SICK OF THEM by the time I was done this. 6 months of crochet for this
