Over the past week, I've been working on creating enclosures for my first non wild caught jumpers. I wanted to create a setup that didn't involve cutting into the acrylic as I don't yet have the proper means to do that. The mesh surround is 3d printed and fits snuggly between the top and bottom. I love how it also extends the height of the enclosures as I lost some height with the pebbles, soil, and moss at the bottom. I also designed and 3d printed the Monstera leaves that are glued in at the top. I had a ton of fun working on the design process and assembling them. It's quite a bit different than my other 3d printed work. My two Phiddipus audax from @world_of_phids_jumping_spiders will be arriving sometime tomorrow. I hope they enjoy their new little homes. I can't wait to see them explore their new homes. #worldofphids #phiddipus #jumpingspider #vivarium #moss #3dprinting #daringjumpingspider #boldjumpingspider #phiddipusaudax

The next spindle in the series is the Lark. I’m sad that this particular style of Ed’s is discontinued. It’s one of my favorites. However he did make a new style which reminds me quite a bit of the Lark called the Wren.

This is one ginormous ball of yarn! This 9.7 oz of Merino was spun up on Starla my Startling Mini pictures here and then was Navajo plied on Bumbles my Starling XL. I tie dyed it afterwards using the technique @woolwench wrote about in the first issue of tinyStudio Creative Life Magazine. I’ll be be knitting this up into. Peace Cowl and a pair of mitts. Starling Mini made by me and designed by @daedalusspinningwheels. #daedalusspinningwheels #electricspinningwheel #spinnersofinstagram #spinstagram #espinner #spinningyarn #handspunstagram #igspinners #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #fiberyfun365 #starlingspinner #Akerworks #AkerworksYarnCaddy #YarnCaddy #karbonzneedles

Lucas is admiring the hand wound ball of Merino. When I weighed the skein it was 9.8 oz and now mysteriously it only weighs 9.7... it makes me wonder if Lucas stole some for his web nest. Jumping spiders use their silk for their bungee jumping as well as for a protective nest they hunker down in while resting or when molting. Anywho I made a swatch yesterday and it’s going to work out beautifully for the project I dyed it up for. #daedalusspinningwheels #electricspinningwheel #spinnersofinstagram #spinstagram #espinner #spinningyarn #handspunstagram #igspinners #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #fiberyfun365 #starlingspinner

My last project for Tour de Fleece 2019 is a carry over from TdF 2018. This is Rainbow Palace on BFL/Silk dyed by @threewatersfarm. This was originally going to be spun across 15 Jenkins but now will be mathed out to be spun across 18 Jenkins. #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #TeamJenkins2019 #TeamAkerworks2019 #TWFTDF19 #jenkinsturkishspindle #tourdefleece #tourdefleece2019 #tdf2019 #threewatersfarm #twfjun19 #Big18JenkinsSpin

My second project for Tour de Fleece 2019 is the Tour de Fleece 2016 colorways by @threewatersfarm to be spun on Bumbles the Starling XL. I designed and printed these super sweet custom bobbins as Bumbles was whispering about how much it would like yellow flower themed bobbins because what bee doesn't like flowers. 🐝 #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #TeamDaedalus2019 #TeamAkerworks2019 #TWFTDF19 #tourdefleece #tourdefleece2019 #tdf2019 #threewatersfarm #twfjun19 #daedalusspinningwheel #starlingspinner

I've been trying to keep my mind occupied as it's been an extremely rough week. Luckily I have all these pretty colors to look at and ponder on how I'll spin them up for Tour de Fleece. These beautiful braids from @threewatersfarm will be spun and plied up on my Majacraft Aura. First bobbin will be on my favorite Yellow Lotus @akerworks bobbin. #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #TeamAkerworks2019 #TWFTDF19 #tourdefleece #tourdefleece2019 #tdf2019 #threewatersfarm #twfjun19 #Majacraft #majacraftaura

Next in the Jenkins line up is the Egret. This spindle size is very deceiving. Despite its large and heavy appearance it’s a a fast and long spinner!

These are all the yarns I’ve made with my Starlings so far. The large skein is 9.8 oz and I spun it on Starla the Mini and plied it on Bumbles the XL. The other two are 4 oz and both were spun and plied on Starla.

I received my copy of @plymagazine yesterday! I received two extra copies as a double contributor so I’ll need to see if anyone local needs a copy. Now to start showing actual spinning from my project I spun for my article “Spin It! Across a Flock of Turkish Spindles”. This is my heaviest Jenkins weighing in at 41g.

In my @plymagazine article “Spin It! Across a Flock of Turkish Spindles” I spun across the full gamut of Jenkins Turkish from my 41 gram Swan all the way down to my 3.28 gram Bee Hummingbird. This is one of my absolute favorite ways to spin on my Turkish Spindles. ❤️ Coming up next is actual spinning photos of the full gamut #SpinItAcrossaFlockofTurkishSpFiber is Blue Eyes on BFL dyed by @greenwoodfiberworks . #plymagazine #writingforplymagazine #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #fiberyfun365 #turkishspindle #jenkinsturkishspindle #greenwoodfiberworks #supportthespinningcommunity

It’s hard to believe that this huge skein was spun on just one bobbin of this amazing spinner. It was originally just natural white and I used the Tie Dye technique I learned from Suzy’s article in the first issue of tinyStudio Creative Life Magazine to dye the whole 9.8 oz finished skein!

I made my samples for my article “Spin It! Across a Flock of Turkish Spindles” in the current issue of @plymagazine with these three spindles. I’m still in awe that I was able to include the Bee Hummingbird in this project. ❤️ Stay tuned to #SpinItAcrossaFlockofTurkishSpindles for in-progress photos of this project. #plymagazine #writingforplymagazine #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #fiberyfun365 #turkishspindle #jenkinsturkishspindle #greenwoodfiberworks #supportthespinningcommunity

Remember that huge bobbin of White Merino I spun on Starla and Navajo plied on Bumbles? I used the Tie Dye technique I learned from Suzy’s article in the first issue of tinyStudio Creative Life Magazine to dye the whole 9.8 oz skein! I was pretty darn nervous about dyeing such a huge skein but WOW! I’m extremely pleased with the results. This skein is a monster! Had to include @charansachar’s Anniversary edition mug in the shot to give you all a sense of size. 😂 Starling Mini made by me and designed by @daedalusspinningwheels. #daedalusspinningwheels #spottedewefibers #electricspinningwheel #spinnersofinstagram #spinstagram #espinner #spinningyarn #handspunstagram #igspinners #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #fiberyfun365 #starlingspinner #fiberygoodness #tinystudiocreativelifemagazine #tinystudioCreativeLife #tinyStudio

Sample spinning for my @plymagazine article “Spin It! Across a Flock of Turkish Spindles”. This article and project goes through my process of how I spin full projects across all of my Jenkins Turkish Spindles no matter their sizes. Here is a Swan, Kuchulu, and Bee Hummingbird all spinning the same singles.
