Made a linocut print for the first time in 20 years. I gotta get some better knives cause I just have the speedball one and it is not sharp.

I'm also working on spinning this red eri silk embroidery thread. The natural color of this silk is so beautiful! It's just shining in the sun! It's hard to get it as fine as I would like so we'll see how it turns out. It will be 2 ply. #handspun #spinsky #fiberarts #embroidery #craftsky

So much handspun embroidery thread! I did 2 ounces this time and it made alot more then I thought it would! This is now washed and hanging to dry, then it will be divided up and dyed.

I've been trying to learn support spindle for tour de fleece, but I just can't get it down. I went on a trip last week so I didn't have any time for spinning, but hopefully I'll get some time this week.

Spinning more embroidery thread, this time on the wheel. I'm trying for the thinnest most consistent singles I can get. This is my only goal for tour de fleece, since I don't have time to spin every day. Just trying to get this 2 ounces rambouillet spun and plyed.

Dye experiment from a while ago I never posted. It's gulf coast native wool so I tried to dye it to look like the ocean on the gulf coast. Turned out pretty good I think

Spun and natural dyed this range of embroidery thread. Which I will eventually use to make an embroidery piece

Handspun handdyed embroidery thread. From left to right : cochineal, cochineal overdyed with osage, cochineal overdyed with osage second bath, osage, osage modified with copper, osage modified with iron. I love how you can get so many colors with just a few natural dyes

I've also been trying some acid dyes and I managed not to felt this rambouillet. I steam set it this time so it stayed fluffy. I've still got some white spots but I think it will look nice when spun.
