Well that went by fast! The final spindle for this project is done and now I can get this plied up! I use my AkerKate to ply directly off my spindles. I’ll share some photos of that setup tomorrow. ❤️ #Akerworks #AkerworksMiniSpindle #Akerworksspindles #minispindle #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #fiberyfun365 #woolgatherings #AkerKate #SpindleKate

I love the pale dusty blue, it's such a beautiful color. It's interesting how different yet alike this photo is with the prior one just based on the positioning of the full braid. This one is way more blue heavy where as the other is more purple heavy. This spin is for my article “Turkish Spindles, Sleeping Turtles, and Matching Socks” in the Winter Issue of @plymagazine. ❤️ #plymagazine #writingforplymagazine #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #fiberyfun365 #turkishspindle #jenkinsturkishspindle #spinningforsocks #threewatersfarm

My Mini Spindle project is nearing completion! This is all the fiber left of a braid of 15.5 micron merino from @woolgatherings. Once this is done I plan on Navajo plying it on Aura. #Akerworks #AkerworksMiniSpindle #Akerworksspindles #minispindle #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #fiberyfun365 #woolgatherings

The beginning of the full braid for my article “Turkish Spindles, Sleeping Turtles, and Matching Socks” in the Winter Issue of @plymagazine. I love how this spindle's wood pairs up beautifully with pretty much any color. ❤️ #plymagazine #writingforplymagazine #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #fiberyfun365 #turkishspindle #jenkinsturkishspindle #spinningforsocks #threewatersfarm

I still have lots of pretties to share with you all from my project I did for my article “Turkish Spindles, Sleeping Turtles, and Matching Socks” in the Winter Issue of @plymagazine. Here we have an two gorgeous braids from @threewatersfarm. The one on the right I've preppred specifically for this project, to find details on my prep technique for this in my article. It's a fun process and I always enjoy the results! These are my four lovely Jenkins that took part in the process. ❤️ #plymagazine #writingforplymagazine #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #fiberyfun365 #turkishspindle #jenkinsturkishspindle #spinningforsocks #threewatersfarm

Here's how the turtle I've been sharing plied up! I forgot how tiny one turtle skeins are. I normally ply up a series of turtles all together for larger skeins. To see how this sample skein knitted up check out my article “Turkish Spindles, Sleeping Turtles, and Matching Socks” in the Winter Issue of @plymagazine. I still have lots more photos to share from this project so stay tuned! ❤️ #plymagazine #writingforplymagazine #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #fiberyfun365 #turkishspindle #jenkinsturkishspindle #spinningforsocks #threewatersfarm

The final photo for the sample spin for my article in this Winter’s issue of PLY. The yarn created from this turtle was used to create the two swatches at the end of the article. .
