Super awesome umbrella swift FTW that can handle the big 3 yard skeins my @akerworks prototype Super Skeiner/Yarn Winder/ Wonder Skeiner can make! Getting ready to hand wind 9.8 oz! 😭This is going to take awhile but at least I can enjoy the outdoors while I do this. This skein was spun entirely on one bobbin on my Starling Mini and then Navajo plied on one bobbin on my Starling XL. #daedalusspinningwheels #electricspinningwheel #spinnersofinstagram #spinstagram #espinner #spinningyarn #handspunstagram #igspinners #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #fiberyfun365 #starlingspinner


Sample spin on Jenkins Turkish Swan made of Spalted Tamarind and a Jenkins Turkish Kuchulu made of Tineo for my @plymagazine article “Spin It! Across a Flock of Turkish Spindles”.

Getting ready to skein the monster skein of handspun I spun on my Starling Mini and hand dyed myself. It’s ginormous!!! It weighs 9.8 oz. I better get the yardage real quick before I hand wind this pretty on a nostepinne. I know it’s going to make me wish I had a ball winder. Plants in the square pots are my cotton fiberlings. Yarn was dyed using @woolwench’s tie dye technique she wrote about in Issue 1 of tinyStudio Creative Life Magazine. #daedalusspinningwheels #electricspinningwheel #spinnersofinstagram #spinstagram #espinner #spinningyarn #handspunstagram #igspinners #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #fiberyfun365 #starlingspinner

Over the past several months I've been putting my Starlings to the test and getting to know them as best as I can for a review I was writing up for tinyStudio Creative Life Magazine. It has been such a joy working with my two Starlings and writing up this review. Thanks so much @daedalusspinningwheels for giving me a sneak peek before these amazing wheels went public and for making it possible for me to spin with these incredible spinners. This will be in Issue 3 which will be available to our tinyStudio Subscribers later today. 😁 #daedalusspinningwheels #spottedewefibers #electricspinningwheel #spinnersofinstagram #spinstagram #espinner #spinningyarn #handspunstagram #igspinners #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #fiberyfun365 #starlingspinner #fiberygoodness #tinystudiocreativelifemagazine #tinystudioCreativeLife #tinyStudio

I love how easy it is to take beautiful photos of this spinner! It has such elegant lines and the black lets the color of the spinning pop. πŸ’š Fiber is BFL/Silk dyed by @spottedewefibers in the colorway Ariel. will be included in a tinyStudio TV episode.

Here’s a better view sans Lucas for my friends who don’t like spiders no matter how adorable Lucas is. I’ve been busy finishing up this spin and making sure my Starling Espinner Review was all good to go for the next issue of tinyStudio Creative Life Magazine which comes out this week! Check out @fiberygoodness for more info about tinyStudio. Fiber is BFL/Silk dyed by @spottedewefibers in the colorway Ariel. will be included in a tinyStudio TV episode.

I’m so overjoyed to be able to finally share this project with you all that I did for the Summer 2019 issue of @plymagazine!

My second article for the upcoming issue of @plymagazine on Suspended Spindles is about Ed Jenkins! I cannot say enough good things about Ed and Wanda Jenkins. The spindles Ed makes are the very reason why I got back into spindle spinning after I had stopped when I got my first wheel and for that, I will be forever grateful. This issue is going to have a lot on Turkish Spindles! #plymagazine #writingforplymagazine #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #fiberyfun365 #turkishspindle #jenkinsturkishspindle #supportthespinningcommunity


SQUEE!!! I'm so excited for the upcoming issue of @plymagazine all about Suspended Spindles. I've seen the lineup and it's going to be an incredible issue. I have two articles both near and dear to my heart. The first one "Spin It! Across a Flock of Turkish Spindles is focused on my favorite way to spin on my flock of Turkish spindles leaving no spindle behind no matter their size! I know many of you here have seen my Spin on All the Things big Jenkins spins. The spin I did for this article went above and beyond my prior spins to include my little 3.28g Bee Hummingbird! I hope you all will enjoy the article! Stay tuned to #SpinItAcrossaFlockofTurkishSpindles for in-progress photos of this project soon.
