A closer look at the yarn. This is Superfine Merino at about Fingering weight. Spun on Starla the Starling Mini and plied on Bumbles the Starling XL. #Akerworks #AkerworksNiddyNoddy #AkerworksYarnWinder #3yardskein #daedalusspinningwheels #spinnersofinstagram #spinallthethings #spinallthefiber #spinstagram #spinningwheel #spinningyarn #fleece2yarn #handspunstagram #igspinners #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #fiberyfun365 #3dprinting #starlingspinner #happyplying #Navajoply #chainply


It's so awesome when tools like this are so super pretty in their own right that can help make beautiful photos like this one. I love the way the light falls on the skein, the beauty of the wood, and all the angles. I finished up applying my resist ties for dyeing and will be removing the skein off the Niddy Noddy shortly so I can see just how much this beauty weighs. It's going to weigh at least 9 oz! This was spun on Starla the Starling Mini and plied on Bumbles the Starling XL. A link to the video on how this @Akerworks prototype niddy noddy works can be found in my profile link. #Akerworks #AkerworksNiddyNoddy #AkerworksYarnWinder #3yardskein #daedalusspinningwheels #spinnersofinstagram #spinallthethings #spinallthefiber #spinstagram #spinningwheel #spinningyarn #fleece2yarn #handspunstagram #igspinners #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #fiberyfun365 #3dprinting #starlingspinner #happyplying #Navajoply #chainply

Took this beauty for a spin today with some Super Fine Merino. It’s spinning so beautifully. It did take me a bit to sort out making my leader. I spin my leader and was having some difficulties since these are overlapping arms rather than through hole style Turkish. Allen gave me a great tip to only use the main arm for starting and then set it up proper after you’ve got a good length to work with. It’s a wonderful spindle and so happy to finally have a spindle by @allenrberry in my flock. #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #fiberyfun365 #turkishspindle #allenrberryspindle

Emerald Isle reskeined after it’s bath. It’s not my most even skein but it sure is beautiful! It’s so exciting having espinners that sit so perfectly in my desk that can be used at any moment. 😄 #daedalusspinningwheels #spottedewefibers #electricspinningwheel #spinnersofinstagram #spinallthethings #spinallthefiber #spinstagram #espinner #spinningwheel #spinningyarn #fleece2yarn #handspunstagram #igspinners #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #fiberyfun365 #3dprinting #starlingspinner #happyplying #Navajoply #chainply #akerworks #AkerworksNiddyNoddy

Skein of Emerald Isle prior to being washed. It's got a bit of extra twist but should relax out nicely after it's done drying. #daedalusspinningwheels #spottedewefibers #electricspinningwheel #spinnersofinstagram #spinallthethings #spinallthefiber #spinstagram #espinner #spinningwheel #spinningyarn #fleece2yarn #handspunstagram #igspinners #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #fiberyfun365 #3dprinting #starlingspinner #happyplying #Navajoply #chainply
