@kalluna.bsky.socialJust finished, 65% black alpaca/35% rainbow bamboo plied with black Suri alpaca. Two skeins, 1028 yards. I’ve been looking for Suri fiber for years and got it this year at Fiber Fusion Northwest. Interesting, very sleek, similar to spinning silk, for me. #handspinning #spinsky
@rememberkoomvalley.bsky.socialFinished winding off the last of the fiber I spun for #tourdefleece2026, finally! Plied, washed, snapped, dried, measured and balled, I have 1445.5 yards of three-ply targhee/targhee/merino. Really looking forward to knitting with it!

@peregrine-j.bsky.social Hello all !
What are good sites to order drop spindles from ?
Particularly supported ?

@vallaragna.bsky.socialI actually got some spinning done this week. Cormo from Into the Whirled. Spun as a true three ply. #handspinning #fiberarts
@nicolaschofield.comA few people suggested pairing it with another yarn. I didn't have anything that worked so I spun up a bit of bright blue.
I think these will be great together!

@berrytired.bsky.socialResupply from the Bartlett Yarn booth at the Deerfield Fair 🥰
1lbs of wool for me, and some luxury silk & cashmere for my momma 😍❤️
@spinningphoenix.bsky.socialI've predrafted the last ounce of eight for this spin of Banshee Fiber Arts Targhee/bamboo/silk blend. It's going so fast. I'm hoping for a sport weight two ply when it's done.

@pips-left-paw.bsky.socialThe flax crop grown last winter/spring was retted in batches over the summer and is now through the first processing stage… mostly so I don’t have a haystack filling up the porch. #handspinning #spinning #fiber #slowfiber #flaxtolinen #fiberflax #flax 🧶
@rebecca.toots.ravenoak.dev.ap.brid.gyfour down, four to go before I can make my big swatch. these colors are hard to photograph, my lights too warm and I don't want to take them outside because Summer II Back With A Vengeance is in town this week and it's Hot.
@rebecca.toots.ravenoak.dev.ap.brid.gytwo skeins done, one million more to go
@rebecca.toots.ravenoak.dev.ap.brid.gyI'm thinking of thread plying all of this fiber because I really like this yarn structure for knitting. it looks like it would be nubby and lumpy but my swatches have really good stitch definition.
@rebecca.toots.ravenoak.dev.ap.brid.gyI should really measure my fiber before I spin it because this illegally full bobbin was annoying to finish and I'm going to have to switch to the jumbo bobbin to do the final ply.
@rebecca.toots.ravenoak.dev.ap.brid.gybobbin two, this color is called inkpot I think. or inkwell. something inky
the plan is to make a stripy hat as a big swatch, and to test out color combos. I think I'll do two more colors before starting on the hat.
@rebecca.toots.ravenoak.dev.ap.brid.gytesting out this fiber for my sweater spin and ohhhhhh it's lovely. this is bread and butter merino from AVFKW and it really is *buttery*
@rebecca.toots.ravenoak.dev.ap.brid.gyno longer just a pile of yarn, now it's a pile of warp chains. I still need to figure out how I'm going to sett it and what to do about the boucle (I suspect it's not going to fit through the heddles)
it's getting more blanket shaped, very exciting.
@katalinbeth.bsky.socialWhat a blessing to take a little. It of fluff and spindle along during hours long commutes! Finished plying too! #handspinning
@rebecca.toots.ravenoak.dev.ap.brid.gyreally excited to see how this weaves up. I *think* this is all the fiber I had set aside, I should go check. hopefully I can start warping this weekend and because it's So Chunky that should go fast.
@rebecca.toots.ravenoak.dev.ap.brid.gymore texture for the big ass pile of chunky handspun I'm accumulating.
most of it has been two ply but this is spiraled because plying has been too boring and easy lately. this, in contrast, is a pain in the ass.
