I think spinning at trivia is going to be a thing now. I got a fair amount done and I might be able to finish this section tomorrow.

Ack, been quiet for a while cuz I'm working on a project I can't share. It's for my Mum, and she follows all my socials 🥰

Have some more Shetland progress ❤️ perfect weather to finish off the first 50g of those lovely stuff.
A drop spindle and wool, in a hand, being held up in front of a rain-coated window. There is a large bundle of oatmeal colored yarn wrapped around the spindle shaft, and gathered above it is Shetland wool roving in the same color. #yarn #handspunyarn #handspun #handspinning #fiberarts #handmade #spinnersofbluesky #spindlespinning #Shetland

This is chain-ply of the leftover singles from the project I’ve been spinning all summer

Decided to just spindle-spin this, instead of using the electric wheel. Spindle is from Dan the Brewergnome/Gnomespun

I have a lot of plying to do but I can’t do that at work. I can spin at work so…new project. Probably a fractal spin. This is Polwarth from Hilltop Cloud.

Spun at trivia last night. A lady came over to tell me she was mesmerized and asked me what I was doing. Not sure if she understood my “I’m spinning wool into yarn” - now I’m pondering other way to say that.

I spent my final day of #TourDeFleece teaching a support spinning class. At the end of the class, they had singles that held together so that’s a win. I spent the rest of the day knitting.

My friend got me a statue called Death Spills the Tea. She gave the artist pictures of my spindles so he could add one in. I adore it.

A 3D printed statue of Death in a black cloak with a white teacup in his lap. On one side of him is a white teapot. On the other side is a tiny teacup spindle with a dark blue cop on it. In front of the statue is the real life inspiration for the spindle.

Day 19 of #TourDeFleece

This is the second half of the light blue. I am modifying the way I’m drafting because it’s making for a finer single.

I could not get more fiber on this spindle. That’s good because I am out of fiber.

Public spinning last night! The only comment I got was from a friend who thought spinning only happened on a wheel. He got a short overview of spinning. Much to his delight, I’m sure.

I’ve reached the dark brown! I still have the other half of the kit to spin so I took a picture of the gradient.

I believe today is a rest day but I’ve been spinning all morning. I’m teaching a class on supported spinning this weekend and I’m trying to translate my actions into words.
