My colors of the year is definitely very inspired by my Jenkins Flock Spin with all the rainbow colors and colors of the woods. #spinnersofinstagram #spinallthethings #spinallthefiber #spinstagram #spinningyarn #fleece2yarn #handspunstagram #igspinners #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #fiberyfun365

Lots of exciting things this year. The @akerworks Super Skeiner finally launched! I got some gorgeous fiber to spin on my Bee Hummingbird from Judith MacKenzie. Picked up a gorgeous spindle from @allenrberry and I’m hoping he’ll have a flower one at St. Distaff’s Day. I never expected what would take up a great portion of my spinning time this year. On January 16th @daedalusspinningwheels reached out to me and our resulting conversation ended with Dave asking if I wanted to build my own Starling. Of course there was zero doubt it my mind that if Dave was going to allow me to build one I was going to do it. I never thought I’d have an espinner this year can’t believe I have three now with a new one called Magpie to be added to my growing flock next year. I spent a lot of time spinning with my birds and with my spindles a perfect combination of portability. I’m excited to see what is in store for next year. Wishing you all a Happy New Year! #daedalusspinningwheels #spottedewefibers #electricspinningwheel #spinnersofinstagram #spinallthethings #spinallthefiber #spinstagram #spinnersoflex #shoplocalky #smallbusinessowner #lexingtonky #lexingtonkentucky #espinner #spinningwheel #spinningyarn #fleece2yarn #handspunstagram #igspinners #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #fiberyfun365 #3dprinting #starlingspinner #allenberryspindle #judithmackenzie

The 5th spindle in the series is my Walnut Aegean. I adore the ladybugs and spiders on this spindle. Wanda picked it out for me as she knew how much I love bugs. #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #jenkinsturkishspindle #twfdec19 #Big18JenkinsSpin #threewatersfarm #fiberyfun365 #spin15aday

The fourth spindle in the series is my Oregon Flame Maple Egret. The worm holes on this spindle are stunning and it’s such a light spindle for its size at only 1.1 oz. #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #jenkinsturkishspindle #twfdec19 #Big18JenkinsSpin #threewatersfarm #fiberyfun365 #spin15aday

The third spindle in the series was my Granadillo Turkish Delight. This is the very first Jenkins I ever owned. #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #jenkinsturkishspindle #twfdec19 #Big18JenkinsSpin #threewatersfarm #fiberyfun365 #spin15aday

The second spindle in the series was my Black Mesquite Egret. I love how sunshiny happy this turtle was. #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #jenkinsturkishspindle #twfdec19 #Big18JenkinsSpin #threewatersfarm #fiberyfun365 #spin15aday

First spindle of the series was my Spalted Tamarind Swan weighing in at 41 grams. It was the heaviest spindle in this Flock Spin. #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #jenkinsturkishspindle #twfdec19 #Big18JenkinsSpin #threewatersfarm #fiberyfun365 #spin15aday

Thank you so much @the1764shepherdess for this wonderful #Spin15aDay12days gift. This will be so fun to spin up and it’s the same blend as what I had been spinning for the event. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #jenkinsturkishspindle #twfdec19 #Big18JenkinsSpin #threewatersfarm #fiberyfun365 #spin15aday

The original concept of my Flock Spins was to challenge myself to see if I could spin consistently across multiple spinning tools. The more I took on these challenges the more they grew into something more than just a challenge. I love how I can spin consistently across all my Jenkins no matter their size in order to exercise all my spindles so they can all participate in a project. It never ceases to amaze me seeing my heaviest spindle next to my lightest with the same weight of singles wrapped around them. I also love to see all of my spindles all dressed up in their pretty colorful turtle shells. My next Flock Spin will be my @hipstrings #Base12SAL and my @inglenookfibers Advent which I’ll start on as soon as I finish plying this project. #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #jenkinsturkishspindle #twfdec19 #Big18JenkinsSpin #threewatersfarm #fiberyfun365 #spin15aday

I loved @cronalicious_lwg comment about how I better ply fast as it looks like my flock was in formation to fly south. Had to set up a proper flock formation for a bit of fun. I’m about halfway through plying the flock. After I finish this project my whole flock of Jenkins will get to enjoy a spa day involving woodbeams wax. #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #jenkinsturkishspindle #twfdec19 #Big18JenkinsSpin #threewatersfarm #fiberyfun365 #spin15aday

It can be quite the challenge to photograph the whole flock. The next big project will have 5 more spindles than this one including two that are larger than the largest spindle in this grouping. Seeing all these spindles together makes me so happy! ❤️ #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #jenkinsturkishspindle #twfdec19 #Big18JenkinsSpin #threewatersfarm #fiberyfun365 #spin15aday

On the 5th day of #spin15aday12days I finished my very last spindle of my Flock Spin!!!!!

This is all that is left of my Jenkins Flock spin, 7 gram to make one last turtle for my Beeswing Narra Bee Hummingbird. #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #jenkinsturkishspindle #twfdec19 #Big18JenkinsSpin #threewatersfarm #fiberyfun365 #spin15aday

On Day 4 of #spin15aday12days I finished spinning on the 17th spindle of this Flock Spin a Tineo Kuchulu. I am now down to 7 grams that will be destined for my Beeswing Narra Bee Hummingbird. A sweet ending to this wonderful spin. Maybe sweeter than those Dove Chocolates. ❤️ #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #jenkinsturkishspindle #twfdec19 #Big18JenkinsSpin #threewatersfarm #fiberyfun365 #spin15aday #lucasthespider

On the third day of #Spin15aday12days I held my spinning to the sky to take my first photo with my new phone! Had to wait till my new case and screen protector arrived before I got my photo. Can’t wait to take more photos with my phone to see how it does. #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #jenkinsturkishspindle #twfdec19 #Big18JenkinsSpin #threewatersfarm #fiberyfun365 #spin15aday

Day two of #spin15aday12days. No tea or hot cocoa for me today. I’m having some cold sensitivity issues possibly due to braces so I’ve taken to drinking hot water as my heated beverage of choice. #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #jenkinsturkishspindle #twfdec19 #Big18JenkinsSpin #threewatersfarm #fiberyfun365 #spin15aday

Getting a late start on #Spin15aDay12Days. I was hoping I would be starting on my @inglenook Advent Spin today but I still have 27.8 grams left of this spin. Maybe with the help of Lucas I can get this done! #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #jenkinsturkishspindle #twfdec19 #Big18JenkinsSpin #threewatersfarm #fiberyfun365 #spin15aday

This is the second pendent that arrived yesterday made by my Mom @judyawhitton. She got the stone from the @beadedpeacock. It wasn’t labeled so the stone is unknown, possibly Aventurine. If you’d like to see more of her beautiful work head on over to @judyswirewrappedgems #wirewrappedjewelry

I received a special delivery from my Mom @judyawhitton. She makes the most incredible wire wrapped pendents. This one I’ve been anxiously awaiting. The stone is made out of Indonesian Fossil Palm Root. It always amazes me when I thought I’ve seen the prettiest pendent she goes and makes one that’s above and beyond. I always look forward to seeing her next batch of jewelry. You can see more of her gorgeous pendents on @judyswirewrappedgems. #wirewrappedjewelry

Here’s the whole group for this spin so far. It’s interesting to see how the colors line up for the exterior of the turtles. I’ve got four spindles left to use for the remaining fiber. The next two will use up about 11 grams each and then the last two will be about 7 grams each. #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #jenkinsturkishspindle #twfdec19 #Big18JenkinsSpin #threewatersfarm #fiberyfun365

This Jacob Horn Jenkins spindle was the 13th spindle of 18 in this project. This one was finished on the 20th. I’m currently working on finishing the 14th spindle today and hoping to finish this spin by Christmas Eve. That may be pushing it so I may start my @inglenook advent spin a few days late. #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #jenkinsturkishspindle #twfdec19 #Big18JenkinsSpin #threewatersfarm #fiberyfun365

I fell behind on my postings here but still working towards finishing this project in time to start my advent spins. Finished the 11th spindle out of 18 on the 14th.

Made one of our favorites tonight for dinner while watching @hipstrings and @mrhipstrings livestream. This is a heavily modified version of Catherine’s Spicy Chicken Soup. I’ll put a link up in my profile. It’s super customizable and makes a ton! If anyone wants to know our mods let me know. #catherinesspicychickensoup

SQUEEE!!!! I took advantage of the Black Friday sales and ordered a Ukoala bag from @uubofficial. It’s the perfect bag to easily tote around all the essentials including my Jenkins Bee Hummingbird spindle so I can always have a spinning project no matter where I go. I can also tote around some of my other Jenkins spindles without the shaft in when stored. This is the Kodiak and it’s awesome! #ukoalabag #ukoalakodiak #droplegbag #urbanutilitybag #spinnersofinstagram #spinstagram #spinningyarn #handspunstagram #igspinners #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #fiberyfun365 #jenkinsturkishspindle #mackenzietextiles

No matter how I’m feeling an @akerworks Yellow Modular Spindle always brings a smile to my face. Got this beautiful medium Geranium when Adan sent a new handle design for the Super Skeiner last month. ☀️ #Akerworks #AkerworksModularSpindle #Akerworksspindles #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #fiberyfun365

I’m finally back to spinning but taking thing easy and slow to make sure I don’t go backwards with my hand pain. So far so good. There’s no way I’ll get this done in time to start the @Hipstrings #base12sal on the 12 so I’m shooting for starting no later than Christmas. We’ll see what I can do! #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #jenkinsturkishspindle #twfdec19 #Big18JenkinsSpin #threewatersfarm
