I'm Katja and I fell down the fiberarts rabbit hole. I luv it 🧶
Happy-mail-day! 🧶

I've got my second spindle from Spindeleien (pictured in the back). Shop owner Ulrich is well known for recycling different things like drawer handles, spindle tops or even rubber wheels.

Fiber samples are from @fossilfibers.bsky.social 😍

It's time to learn some cotton spinning.

Happy Sunday Sky 🧶

I've treated myself with homemade waffles w/ applesauce after I've wasted so much time to follow a pattern.
Intarsia won't be my fave, so I've split the instructions in manageable steps for my brain. It may involve more sewing, but at least there's a high chance I'll finish it.

Happy #motivationmonday 🧶!

Late to the party with my 12 days of Christmas calendar from Regenbogenwolle 😅
I'm planning to spin them on my birb-army... it feels good to have a "no brainer" to work with.

Today is ply-day 🧶

This set was sleeping in my WIP basket for way too long. I even forgot which fiber ist is... I'm pretty sure there's Zwartbles in it, becuse I can sense a specific scent from it (generally I'm living with olfactory blindness)

Happy monday Sky 🧶

Y'all know that pesky little waiting times? Think of this sneaky little liar called washing maschine which is telling us for half an hour it's finished in less than a minute.
For this I have my little crossarm spindle ready in my pocket. Making the best of it 😊

Thank you ❤️ These are supported spindles. You'll let them spinning in a bowl on your lap or on a surface of your choice, keeping a finger or the palm of your hand at the tip of the spindle to balance it.
Please feel free to ask if you have more questions, I'm happy to help.

It's so nakid in here, time to fill this space with fiber content 🧶

My current spinning project is the TdF24 calendar from Regenbogenwolle. Every floof nugget contains a bit of a different sheep breed.

For knitting I'm making sweater from HHF Tweedy.
