Some recent views of where my work has taken me. Transfering leftover singles onto a #turkishspindle, a view of a friends #handspun shag, and a pile of vintage tools and #spinningwheel parts. #sloppyartnotaislop #pacifictextilearts #textiles

Dusted off my spinning wheel today and some random oddments of dyed wool.
Going for a little tiny skein of something with a dark and 80s vibe 😎
I had two partially filled bobbins that have been sitting for a while, so I decided to ply the merino & alpaca together and free up 1 bobbin + make room for more alpaca. It's REALLY soft and plush.
rediscovered the #spinningwheel last night. it did get me wondering why we spin. it's pure joy for me. then i wonder why there are not more #spinners in this world. then again: why spin? only for the sake of spinning or do others actually spin yarn they use?
Why do you #spin?
