The second gorgeous spindle I got from @longdrawjames is a Supported Daelgan! The design is so beautiful and it has a lovely spin to it, not as long as the UFO but it’s still going to be a load of fun to spin with. I love the contrast of the Ziricote wood with the sapwood at the tip. Will post a couple more photos of this beauty and then a video of both spindles. #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #fiberyfun365 #spin15aday #supportedspindle #supporteddaelgan

I’m amazed how this spindle can sit so perfectly in this bowl. I thought for sure I’d have to get the tripod setup and hold the shaft to get a shot like this. I’m looking forward to doing more woolen spinning now that I have some support spindles that make me happy! Beautiful turning by @longdrawjames. #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #fiberyfun365 #spin15aday #supportedspindle #spindlebowl

Here’s the bottom of the gorgeous bowl turned by @longdrawjames. The most gorgeous part about this bowl is that eye! It’s amazing the beauty you can find in the grain of wood. #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #fiberyfun365 #spin15aday #supportedspindle #spindlebowl

When you need a new bowl for your new support spindles 🤣 I mentioned to James I was going to have to find the perfect new bowl for my new support spindles and he quickly turned this gorgeousness! The wood is Bocote and has a gorgeous eye in the grain on the bottom. #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #fiberyfun365 #spin15aday #supportedspindle #spindlebowl

Special delivery arrived from @longdrawjames. I added two of his new style of spindles to my flock. Both are extremely unique, gorgeous, and wonderful spinners. This is his UFO style supported spindle. The whorl reminds me of the Seattle Space Needle. It’s absolutely stunning and the spin on this one is incredible! Whorl is Cocobolo and I believe the shaft is Walnut. Video to come of this spindle spinning. #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #fiberyfun365 #spin15aday #supportedspindle

I couldn’t get all the photos together on one post so here’s the last one for the gorgeous sample cards I ordered from @janestaffordtextiles. I’m amazed at all the beautiful colors. #jstonlineguild #janestaffordtextiles #janestaffordonlineguild #yarnstash #yarn #weavingyarns #jstyarns #cotton #yarnstash #jstsamplecards

As a new weaver I thought it’d be a good idea and splurge a bit on this gorgeous set of sample cards from @janestaffordtextiles. I wanted to see not only the variety of colors but also to be able to see the different sizes of yarns and be able to feel all the different fibers and textures. Everything is so beautiful in its own way. #jstonlineguild #janestaffordtextiles #janestaffordonlineguild #yarnstash #yarn #weavingyarns #jstyarns #organiclinen #organicyarn #organiccotton #yarnstash #weavingsilk #woolyarn #jstsamplecards

I also picked up this kit from @janestaffordtextiles as these are totally my colors and I’m wanting to explore the difference between boucle, 8/2, and 8/4 for towels. #jstonlineguild #janestaffordtextiles #janestaffordonlineguild #weavingdesign #4shafts #4shaftloom #igweavers #weaversofinstagram #learntoweave #weavinglesson #4harnessloom #yarnstash #yarn #weavingyarns #jstyarns #jstkits #plainweave #bouclecotton

I’ve been falling down the dangerous never ending rabbit hole of weaving over the past month. A lot and I do be A LOT of people highly recommend I check out the @janestaffordtextiles guild so I went ahead and signed up last week and have spent the past week watching Season One while I’ve been spinning my yarns for @plymagazine. I have thoroughly enjoyed every episode and cannot wait to get back to weaving again once I get a few priorities out of the way. I ended up picking up a few things during the Back to the Loom Sale. This Shadow Weave Kit I was immediately captivated by with the beautiful patterns and how the colors played out. I’m looking forward to watching the episode on this and giving it a go! #jstonlineguild #janestaffordtextiles #janestaffordonlineguild #shadowweave #weavingdesign #weavinglesson #4shafts #4shaftloom #twills #igweavers #weaversofinstagram #learntoweave #weavinglesson #twills #4harnessloom #jstkits

The orange skies have arrived. Yesterday evening our AQI topped at 243. It’s only 152 this morning but the skies look horrifying. Hoping for the best that we can all get through this. My heart goes out to all the folks who are dealing with the fires up close. ❤️ #pacificnorthwestfires2020 #pacificnorthwestisonfire #pacificcoastonfire #smokyskies #orangesky

Closest viewing of the cotton I spun on Magpie. This was for a 10 gram longest thread challenge for Team Daedalus. I managed 70.5 yards of chain ply for a total of 211.5 total yards. Not the best yardage but I think it’s likely a personal best for me for yardage. I’m excited for when @daedalusspinningwheels will have the final version of the Ultra flyer ready for Magpie as I have a lot of gorgeous dyed cotton from @longdrawjames to spin. #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #teamdaedalus2020 #tourdefleece #tourdefleece2020 #tdf2020 #3dprinting #spottedewefibers #magpiespinner #daedalusmagpie #spinningcotton #cottonspinning #seaislandcotton

I chain plied the cotton that was spun on Magpie onto Starla the Starling Mini. #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #teamdaedalus2020 #tourdefleece #tourdefleece2020 #tdf2020 #3dprinting #spottedewefibers #magpiespinner #daedalusmagpie #spinningcotton #cottonspinning #seaislandcotton

A closer view of my Sea Island cotton spin on the Magpie with the Ultra V1 Flyer. This was spun at only 42% speed. #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #teamdaedalus2020 #tourdefleece #tourdefleece2020 #tdf2020 #3dprinting #spottedewefibers #magpiespinner #daedalusmagpie #spinningcotton #cottonspinning #seaislandcotton

I fell of the Tour de Fleece PT 2 wagon due to a change in priorities. This was my last spin for the event. It was part of the longest thread 10g challenge on Team Daedalus. I achieved a 70.5 yards chain plied yarn with a total of 211.5 yards. Not the best yardage but likely my own personal best. This was spun on my Magpie with the Ultra V1 flyer at 42% speed. I don’t know how @longdrawjames manages faster speeds... I swear he’s magic. 🤣 more photos to follow! #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #teamdaedalus2020 #tourdefleece #tourdefleece2020 #tdf2020 #3dprinting #spottedewefibers #magpiespinner #daedalusmagpie #spinningcotton #cottonspinning #seaislandcotton

So uh I’m going to likely be a bit MIA this month. I’ve got some building to do and spinning/writing for @plymagazine’s Electric Issue. I’m currently working on some speed modules for my @Daedalus wheels. My two Starlings have been quarreling over who gets to use the Magpie controller and while I find it extremely easy to switch between wheels/projects with the speed controller(so long as I remember to right down/photograph my settings) everyone really needs their own dedicated speed controller.

Had to do some rearranging and cleaning in the studio to get Baby Mac in a safer for me location. His original location resulted in only a small narrow path in and out of the studio was was uh... a wee bit dangerous! I’m such a happy weaver with this wonderful loom in my studio. I’ve gotta turn in a new direction though while I work on an article for @plymagazine so there will likely be a slow down in posts and not as much weaving but there will be more! ❤️ Just a note, I’m so happy with my @daedalusspinningwheels all lined up and hint hint Dave, there’s room for two more birdies on that area. 😄 I wish I could share with you all the magic he’s working on behind the scenes. I promise you it’s magic! No better words to describe it! #weaving #weaversofinstagram #weaversofig #babymacomber #samplerweaving #floorloomweaver #floorloomweaving

This Walnut Super Skeiner is everything I had hoped for. The darker wood is so gorgeous and makes the yarn colors pop.

@akerworks has been throwing some major hints to something new that will be added to the shop hopefully soon. Adan knew that as soon as they ventured out into the other woods for the Super Skeiner that I would have to have one in Walnut. It’s absolutely freaking GORGEOUS!!!!!! #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #fiberyfun365 #Superskeiner #akerkate #butterflykate #akerworks

Updates have been far and few between but rest assured I’m still ensuring it works in tip top shape! An issue arose with some changes the officials made with color codes that took priority over my theme resulting in the inability to see the stash navigation. It took me a bit to figure out how to bypass this but it’s all good now. Should you see any other wonkiness with odd colors or perhaps text gone missing please let me know right away. #ravelry #ravelrypro #ravelryaccessibility #ravelrydesigner #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #fiberyfun365 #spin15aday #knittersofinstagram #crochetersofinstagram #weaversofinstagram #newravelrydesign #knittersofravelry #ravelrycrochet #ravelrydesigner #ravelrydesigners #ravelryupdate #ravelryknitter #ravelryknitters #crochetersofravelry
