I’m super excited!!!! My parts arrived from @daedalusspinningwheels!!!! Dave has generously slowed me to make another one of his wonderful birds this time it’ll be a Blackbird! I’ve decided to make it Neon Green with Black accents. All of the parts here are all of the non 3d printed parts used to create the Blackbird. So far I’ve only printed 3 full bobbins. I’m waiting on the rolls of Neon Green to arrive so until then I’ll be printing all the accent pieces and 3 more bobbins.


HEDGIE HIGHFIVES!!!!! It has been such a wonderful Tour de Fleece and as always a real treat to captain the always spectacular Team Akerworks. Tee Dee and Shadow Tee Dee wanted to celebrate everyone’s victories with high fives!!!! 😄 #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #TeamDaedalus2019 #TeamAkerworks2019 #TWFTDF19 #tourdefleece #tourdefleece2019 #tdf2019 #threewatersfarm #twfjul19 #daedalusspinningwheels #starlingspinner #jenkinsturkishspindle #TeamJenkins2019 #Akerworks


Here is everything I accomplished during Tour de Fleece. I didn’t finish nearly as much as I had hoped and for the first time ever didn’t even get to ply anything but despite that I’m extremely pleased with how everything so far has turned out. I spun approximately 283.3g(9.99oz) between my spins on Aura, Bumbles, and Jenkins spindles. All fiber was dyed by @threewatersfarm. Espinner is a Starling XL by @daedalusspinningwheels. #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #TeamDaedalus2019 #TeamAkerworks2019 #TWFTDF19 #tourdefleece #tourdefleece2019 #tdf2019 #threewatersfarm #twfjul19 #daedalusspinningwheels #starlingspinner #jenkinsturkishspindle #TeamJenkins2019 #Akerworks


Day 23 of Tour de Fleece. After finishing off On the River on my Aura I started up Bumbles and spun a wee bit more until I ran out of juice on my battery and decided to cal it for the night. Colorway is the TdF 2016 colorway Light on Leaves by @threewatersfarm.
