My absolute favorite judge is judging at @fiberfusionnw and I hope my trio or yarns will be up to the standards she has for me. She’s the one who encouraged me(twisted my arm quite severely 🤣) to enter my yarns and finished objects into shows several years ago. I’m grateful that she pushed me into showing my yarns as I’ve gained so much insight on how to improve my spinning through the notes left by judges. Two of the yarns were spun for @plymagazine and the third I spun during this past Tour de Fleece. This year there is a special award for People’s Choice so please be sure to vote for your favorite entry! #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #fiberfusionnw #fiberfusion #fiberfusionnorthwest #fiberfusionnorthwest2019 #fiberfusion2019


Super excited to be going to Fiber Fusion tomorrow! I'm still looking for a way to attend on Sunday. If I could ride along with anyone I would be extremely grateful ❤ I am planning on bringing Luna the Blackbird, Starla the Starling Mini, and my Akerworks Super Skeiner prototype with me for anyone who would like to play with them. #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #fiberfusionnw #fiberfusion #fiberfusionnorthwest #fiberfusionnorthwest2019 #fiberfusion2019

Finale of @spintogether. A close up of the yarn made with my Bee Hummingbird and Kuchulu on my @akerworks Super Skeiner. #spinnersofinstagram #spinallthethings #spinallthefiber #spinstagram #spinningyarn #fleece2yarn #handspunstagram #igspinners #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #fiberyfun365 #spintogether #spintogether2019 #akerworks #akerworkssuperskeiner #superskeiner #jenkinsturkishspindle


Finale of @spintogether. I spun 3.4g of Super Fine Merino on my Jenkins Bee Hummingbird and plied it on itself on my new Kuchulu. I love how easy it is to create different skein lengths on the @akerworks Super Skeiner. For this skein I set it up as 1 yard and ended up with a total of 32 yards. Will be interesting to see the shrinkage ratio after washing. #spinnersofinstagram #spinallthethings #spinallthefiber #spinstagram #spinningyarn #fleece2yarn #handspunstagram #igspinners #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #fiberyfun365 #spintogether #spintogether2019 #akerworkssuperskeiner #superskeiner #jenkinsturkishspindle


Finale of @spintogether.

Finale of @spintogether. My one goal for this event was to spin one braid as beautifully as I could. I’m quite pleased with how this turned out despite a few issues I had with it. I ended up with a total of 456 yards of Navajo plied yarn(unwashed of course so it’ll loose some) and this added 1,824 yards to my Team’s total. #spinnersofinstagram #spinallthethings #spinallthefiber #spinstagram #spinningyarn #fleece2yarn #handspunstagram #igspinners #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #fiberyfun365 #spintogether #spintogether2019 #daedalusspinningwheels #starlingspinner #akerworks #akerworkssuperskeiner #superskeiner
