These colors make my heart sing!!!!! Carolyn, I absolutely love this colorway on this blend!!!!!!! The colorway is Mallard on Polwarth/Black Bamboo/Silk 50/25/25. #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #fiberyfun365 #spin15aday #magpiespinner #electricspinningwheel #daedalusspinningwheels #3dprinting #spottedewefibers #greenwoodfiberworks


Continuing on my quest to find out how much fiber I can pack on the Magpie Standard bobbin. So far I’m a bit over 13 oz! I just started spinning up these two braids of gorgeousness. The colorway is Mallard on Polwarth/Black Bamboo/Silk 50/25/25. #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #fiberyfun365 #spin15aday #magpiespinner #electricspinningwheel #daedalusspinningwheels #3dprinting #spottedewefibers #greenwoodfiberworks


Spinning progress during the @daedalusspinningwheels Zoom Spin-in. I’m loving how these two colorways work together on the bobbin.


Today’s snack curtesy of eggs from @smithbrosfarms is some super delicious deviled eggs. Recipe calls for 6 hard boiled eggs. The yolks are mixed with 2 TBSP miracle whip, 1/2 tsp yellow mustard, 2 TBSP sweet relish, fresh ground pepper to taste, and lightly topped with Paprika. Two were already consumed for testing whether to use Paprika or Smoked Paprika. Normal was the victor. #smithbrothersfarms #pandemicsnack #deviledeggs

Last photo of the pretty! This is the full 4 oz twisted up. It feels so great to finally Mark this project off the WIP list. ❤️ Fiber is Organic Polwarth/Silk 75/25 dyed by @woolgatherings. #Akerworksspindles #Geranium #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #fiberyfun365 #woolgatherings #akerworks


I spun thee entirely across 4 cops with my Geranium Medium whorl. This is one of my favorite Akerworks spindles. Though I have a lot of favorites. 🤣 The singles we’re then plied on my Starlings Mini.

First skein on the left and second on the right. The first is a pinch heavier on the WPI but thankfully not by too much. ❤️ Fiber is Organic Polwarth/Silk 75/25 dyed by @woolgatherings. #Akerworksspindles #Geranium #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #fiberyfun365 #woolgatherings #akerworks


First skein on the Super Skeiner and second skein all skeined up. I was quite worried that this project would not be as consistent as my newer yarns as thi was started back in 2015 and I spun on it sporadically but overall I think they came out beautifully.

Incoming pretty photo spree. I finished reskeining both of these today. I typically reskein after washing for prettier skeins to photograph. I ended up with 502 yards between the two.

SQUEE!!! It feels so good to finally finish this spindle project I started in November of 2015! This was all spun on an @akerworks Geranium. Now to find another outstanding spindle project to play with and also time to get back to some delicious Targhee from @spottedewefibers.

This is one happy bobbin. 💚💙💚💙 Fiber is Targhee in the colorway Ariel Remix dyed by @spottedewefibers.

I finished this gorgeous Targhee spin during the @daedalusspinningwheels Zoom Spin in on Wednesday. This project and this wheel has been such an immense source of peacefulness for it. It’s brought me so many smiles and makes my heart sing whenever I worked on it. I enjoyed it so much I had to order a second braid from @spottedewefibers. After I finish another 4 oz of this colorway I should be able to fit 2 more 4 oz braids into this bobbin. I haven’t picked yet what will be next. At the moment I’ve got about 9 oz packed on.
