Picked out the perfect braid to work with for my first #averyclassyspindle project. Fiber is 50/50 Merino/Silk dyed by @woolgatherings. Looking forward to taking this to spin at St. Distaff’s Day! Don’t forget if you haven’t already pop on over to @classysquidfiberco and check out her giveaway post where two randomly selected peeps will win a pretty sweet spindle kit! #classysquidfiberco #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #fiberyfun365 #woolgatherings

One of my favorite fibery events of the year is this Saturday! If you are in the area or don’t mind a bit of a drive this is a must go to event! Lots of spinning, socializing, and a small but wonderful group of vendors. I believe there’s 29 vendors this year! I always bring my Akerworks goodies in case anyone wants to try them out. If there’s anything in particular I have that someone wants me to bring just let me know. The past couple years I’ve taken Wee Peggy but I think this year Aura will be my wheel of choice for the day. #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #NwRSA #nwrsadistaffday #stdistaffsday #StDistaffsDay2019

See this little turtle is ok! Back on its feet and sunning itself on the remainder of the braid. The next photo will be the finished turtle for this spindle. ❤️🐢 .

Looking forward to getting back to this project on by #averyclassyspindle by @classysquidfiberco. I helped test the original version of this spindle and it's been amazing to see just how far along this spindle has come. I love the new method for attaching the whorl to the shaft along with the gorgeous new finish work on the whorl! Anyone interested in this spindle should go pop by @classysquidfiberco as she's got a giveaway going on. 😊

Oh noes!!! Who tipped over the turtle?!? Well that’s not a good way to start the year! 😂 it’s ok, this turtle made a swift recovery! I don’t often take the time to appreciate the bottom of the turtle’s shell. They can be just as beautiful as the top. Hope everyone is having a wonderful New Year so far! ❤️🐢 .
