So uh this is totally a thing! Matching spinning and my hair. Gotta love hair clip ins that I can manipulate the color of myself. I’m loving the @overtonecolor conditioner. Now I just need more clip ins to add even more color. 😄💚 #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #fiberyfun365 #jenkinsturkishspindle #greenwoodfiberworks #overtonecolor #overtoneconditioner #overtoneextremegreen #overtoneextremeteal

SQUEEE!!!!! The color is back! I stopped wearing my dyed clip ins as the color had faded due to my own fault of using a non compatible shampoo. I finally decided to try out @overtonecolor conditioner samplers to see how well it could improve the color on them and I was pleasantly surprised. I used a mixture of Extreme Teal and Extreme Green. It was a ton of fun to paint it on and it brought so much life back. I'm going to have to pick up the Deep Treatment as well to help put some more color punch back into these extensions. I got them from @cloud9jewels and have had them for 5 years. It's amazing how nicely they are holding up. Now that I know the Overtone stuff is great I'm foreseeing getting some more extensions to add even more color knowing I'll be able to keep that color going strong. ♥ #hairextensions #dyedhairextensions #overtonecolor #overtoneconditioner #overtoneextremegreen #overtoneextremeteal

Bringing out another oldie! This is from July 6th of 2011 about 3 months before I got my Majacraft Aura and about 4 and a half years after I started spinning. My spinning at this point was a lot thicker than I normally spin now and definitely quite inconsistent. It wasn't until I got my Majacraft Aura at the end of September that my yarns started getting thinner and thinner. The setup for the wheel was so much different than on my Wee Peggy pictured here which led me to relearning about how to set up your wheel to best suit whatever sort of spinning you would like to do. I also acquired my first Jenkins spindle at the same time which I firmly believe is what helped me the most with my consistency through the process of winding the singles on layer by layer. It's amazing how spinning with new tools can completely change how you spin and help you grow.

Absolutely love everything @abundantearthfiber does! Their booth is always gorgeous. I of course had to stop by a few times to admire and squish the yarn. #abundantearthfiber #fiberfusion #fiberfusionnw #fiberfusion2018 #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #fiberyfun365

One of the biggest highlights of Fiber Fusion Northwest for me was getting to meet Betty Roberts! I've seen a few of her gorgeous wheels over the years usually at St. Distaff's Day but had never met her in person. She is an absolute treasure and so are her wheels. #FiberFusion #FiberFusionNW #FiberFusion2018 #berryroberts #berryrobertswheel #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #fiberyfun365

This is from the Suri Alpaca project I did on my Turkish Delight back in 2013. I love how this shows every step along the way the fiber, Turkish turtle singles, a small spindle plied skein, and then a bobbin plied up. I ended up liking to ply better on my wheel so I could have bigger skeins. I plied up each turtle as I went and connected each new turtle to the bobbin as I went along. Photo was taken July 7th 2013. #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #fiberyfun365 #jenkinsturkishspindle #woolgatherings #Majacraft #MajacraftAura

This project is one of my favorites I've done on my Jenkins Turkish Egret. The fiber was 50/50 Merino/Silk dyed by @Woolgatherings. This photo was taken July 6th 2013. ❤️ #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #fiberyfun365 #jenkinsturkishspindle #woolgatherings

Absolutely adore the new tags sewn into the mesh bags as well as the AkerKate bags. The tags are laser etched and the pop of color is so pretty. #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #fiberyfun365 #Akerworks #AkerworksModularSpindle #AkerworksLotus

This will always be one of my favorite photos of Ella the Wee Peggy and Aura. Taken February 25th, 2012 about 5 months after I adopted Aura. I love how despite being both made in New Zealand they are so drastically different. They are both truly wonderful wheels. ❤️ #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #majacraft #majacraftaura #weepeggy #spinningwheelsofnewzealand

I’ve been pretty quiet lately on here as I’ve been busy working on a project for a Ply Magazine article for which doesn’t leave me a whole lot of new things to post here so I thought I’d share some oldies here that I haven’t shared to pass the time. This was taken on September 29th of 2011 the first day with my @majacraftnz Aura! I had been spinning for a bit over 4 years at that point and getting this wheel totally changed my outlook on spinning. It helped me improve so much due to having to relearn how everything worked going from Scotch Tension to Hybrid DD. Can’t believe I’ve had Aura for 7 years now! ❤️ #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #majacraft #majacraftaura

Ugh!!!!!! Last night I went to look at my Mom’s Jewelry account only to find the account was taken down. My poor Mom is currently going through a not so fun process to verify her identity and business to get the account back. Until it's back up you can see her jewelry on her main account. #Repost @judyawhitton with @get_repost ・・・ Tiger Eye wrapped in Antique Brass color, tarnish resistant wire. .

We've been watching an anime that talks up Coffee Jelly extensively so we thought we'd give it a try. Come to find out its extremely easy to make. We made ours with @chameleoncoldbrew and topped it off with Reddi Wip and @franschocolates Dark Hot Cocoa 65% Venezuelan Cacao. It's quite delicious and will be a great way to enjoy some cold coffee in the summer. #chameleoncoldbrew #chameleoncoffee #coffee #coffeejelly #franschocolates #tastytreat #coffeesnacks #japanesedessert
