This Magpie makes my heart sing. My very first spin on her is looking gorgeous! Fiber is Superwash Merino/Bamboo/Nylon dyed by @spottedewefibers.

It might not look like a lot on this giant bobbin but I got a lot of spinning done while at the @madcowyarn Spin In. Fiber is Superwash Merino/bamboo/nylon 60/30/10 dyed by @spottedewefibers ❤️ Magpie custom made by me with permission from original designer/maker @daedalusspinningwheels. #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #fiberyfun365 #spin15aday #magpiespinner #electricspinningwheel #daedalusspinningwheels #3dprinting


Started my first project on my Magpie today. This is Superwash Merino/Bamboo/Nylon 60/30/10 dyed by @spottedewefibers.

When I say the Magpie is a big bird I truly mean it! Some folks at the spin in today were caught off guard with just how massive this wheel is. She’s about 2 Starling Mini’s long and I could place 3 Minis sideways in her foot print. Despite how massive she is she’s light on her wings in terms of speed, tension, and weight. It’s been so wonderful to get to know this wheel. @daedalusspinningwheels has clearly outdone himself with this amazing wheel.

Today I took my brand new Magpie out for her first Spin In to @madcowyarn. I absolutely love attending this spin in. Molly and Bob the owners are wonderful and the group that’s gather is such a joy. We had so much fun learning from each other. It’s so uplifting to be part of a social spinning circle again. ❤️ Magpie custom made by me with permission from original designer/maker @daedalusspinningwheels. . #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #fiberyfun365 #spin15aday #magpiespinner #electricspinningwheel #daedalusspinningwheels #3dprinting

Day 2, Day 1, and Day 3 of the @hipstrings Base12 SAL. Slowly but surely! ❤️ #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #jenkinsturkishspindle #base12SAL #hipstrings #fiberyfun365 #spin15aday


Day 3, Day 2 and Day 1 of the @inglenookfibers advent. These batts are so gorgeous. Definitely out of my norm for color and texture but has been thoroughly enjoyable. ❤️ #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #jenkinsturkishspindle #inglenookfibersadvent #inglenookfibers #fiberyfun365 #spin15aday


Day 3 of the Base12 SAL by @hipstrings. Slowly but surely working my way through this spin along. It’ll take me quite awhile but it will fill my year with so much fun. I love how this colorway reminds me of fire and the wood of this spindle is Oregon Flame Maple. #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #jenkinsturkishspindle #base12SAL #hipstrings #fiberyfun365 #spin15aday


Day 3 of @inglenookfibers advent spin. I promise I haven’t fallen off the wagon. The advent spins are slow going and I decided to not have more than 6 spindles for this project going at a time as I don’t have enough storage for them to be safely tucked away when not being worked on. I’m loving all of the fibers and they have been a pleasant challenge being very different from what I normally spin. #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #jenkinsturkishspindle #inglenookfibersadvent #inglenookfibers #fiberyfun365 #spin15aday
