This Ziricote is so beautiful. Supported Daelgan and bowl by @longdrawjames #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #fiberyfun365 #spin15aday #supportedspindle #supporteddaelgan #spindlebowl


Supported Daelgan by @longdrawjames. I love the design of these! I’ve not seen anything like it. #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #fiberyfun365 #spin15aday #supportedspindle #supporteddaelgan


The second gorgeous spindle I got from @longdrawjames is a Supported Daelgan! The design is so beautiful and it has a lovely spin to it, not as long as the UFO but it’s still going to be a load of fun to spin with. I love the contrast of the Ziricote wood with the sapwood at the tip. Will post a couple more photos of this beauty and then a video of both spindles. #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #fiberyfun365 #spin15aday #supportedspindle #supporteddaelgan


I’m amazed how this spindle can sit so perfectly in this bowl. I thought for sure I’d have to get the tripod setup and hold the shaft to get a shot like this. I’m looking forward to doing more woolen spinning now that I have some support spindles that make me happy! Beautiful turning by @longdrawjames. #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #fiberyfun365 #spin15aday #supportedspindle #spindlebowl


The beauty of the woods and craftsmanship make me so happy! Beautiful turning by @longdrawjames. #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #fiberyfun365 #spin15aday #supportedspindle #spindlebowl


Here’s the bottom of the gorgeous bowl turned by @longdrawjames. The most gorgeous part about this bowl is that eye! It’s amazing the beauty you can find in the grain of wood. #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #fiberyfun365 #spin15aday #supportedspindle #spindlebowl


When you need a new bowl for your new support spindles 🤣 I mentioned to James I was going to have to find the perfect new bowl for my new support spindles and he quickly turned this gorgeousness! The wood is Bocote and has a gorgeous eye in the grain on the bottom. #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #fiberyfun365 #spin15aday #supportedspindle #spindlebowl


Squeee!!!! Look at that gorgeous whorl ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Cocobolo for the whorl and Walnut shaft turned by @longdrawjames. #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #fiberyfun365 #spin15aday #supportedspindle


Special delivery arrived from @longdrawjames. I added two of his new style of spindles to my flock. Both are extremely unique, gorgeous, and wonderful spinners. This is his UFO style supported spindle. The whorl reminds me of the Seattle Space Needle. It’s absolutely stunning and the spin on this one is incredible! Whorl is Cocobolo and I believe the shaft is Walnut. Video to come of this spindle spinning. #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #fiberyfun365 #spin15aday #supportedspindle

I couldn’t get all the photos together on one post so here’s the last one for the gorgeous sample cards I ordered from @janestaffordtextiles. I’m amazed at all the beautiful colors. #jstonlineguild #janestaffordtextiles #janestaffordonlineguild #yarnstash #yarn #weavingyarns #jstyarns #cotton #yarnstash #jstsamplecards


As a new weaver I thought it’d be a good idea and splurge a bit on this gorgeous set of sample cards from @janestaffordtextiles. I wanted to see not only the variety of colors but also to be able to see the different sizes of yarns and be able to feel all the different fibers and textures. Everything is so beautiful in its own way. #jstonlineguild #janestaffordtextiles #janestaffordonlineguild #yarnstash #yarn #weavingyarns #jstyarns #organiclinen #organicyarn #organiccotton #yarnstash #weavingsilk #woolyarn #jstsamplecards


I also picked up this kit from @janestaffordtextiles as these are totally my colors and I’m wanting to explore the difference between boucle, 8/2, and 8/4 for towels. #jstonlineguild #janestaffordtextiles #janestaffordonlineguild #weavingdesign #4shafts #4shaftloom #igweavers #weaversofinstagram #learntoweave #weavinglesson #4harnessloom #yarnstash #yarn #weavingyarns #jstyarns #jstkits #plainweave #bouclecotton


I’ve been falling down the dangerous never ending rabbit hole of weaving over the past month. A lot and I do be A LOT of people highly recommend I check out the @janestaffordtextiles guild so I went ahead and signed up last week and have spent the past week watching Season One while I’ve been spinning my yarns for @plymagazine. I have thoroughly enjoyed every episode and cannot wait to get back to weaving again once I get a few priorities out of the way. I ended up picking up a few things during the Back to the Loom Sale. This Shadow Weave Kit I was immediately captivated by with the beautiful patterns and how the colors played out. I’m looking forward to watching the episode on this and giving it a go! #jstonlineguild #janestaffordtextiles #janestaffordonlineguild #shadowweave #weavingdesign #weavinglesson #4shafts #4shaftloom #twills #igweavers #weaversofinstagram #learntoweave #weavinglesson #twills #4harnessloom #jstkits

Closest viewing of the cotton I spun on Magpie. This was for a 10 gram longest thread challenge for Team Daedalus. I managed 70.5 yards of chain ply for a total of 211.5 total yards. Not the best yardage but I think it’s likely a personal best for me for yardage. I’m excited for when @daedalusspinningwheels will have the final version of the Ultra flyer ready for Magpie as I have a lot of gorgeous dyed cotton from @longdrawjames to spin. #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #teamdaedalus2020 #tourdefleece #tourdefleece2020 #tdf2020 #3dprinting #spottedewefibers #magpiespinner #daedalusmagpie #spinningcotton #cottonspinning #seaislandcotton


The tiny 10g skein of cotton spun on Magpie. This is 70.5 yards of chain ply for a total of 211.5 yards of singles. #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #teamdaedalus2020 #tourdefleece #tourdefleece2020 #tdf2020 #3dprinting #spottedewefibers #magpiespinner #daedalusmagpie #spinningcotton #cottonspinning #seaislandcotton


I chain plied the cotton that was spun on Magpie onto Starla the Starling Mini. #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #teamdaedalus2020 #tourdefleece #tourdefleece2020 #tdf2020 #3dprinting #spottedewefibers #magpiespinner #daedalusmagpie #spinningcotton #cottonspinning #seaislandcotton


A closer view of my Sea Island cotton spin on the Magpie with the Ultra V1 Flyer. This was spun at only 42% speed. #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #teamdaedalus2020 #tourdefleece #tourdefleece2020 #tdf2020 #3dprinting #spottedewefibers #magpiespinner #daedalusmagpie #spinningcotton #cottonspinning #seaislandcotton


I fell of the Tour de Fleece PT 2 wagon due to a change in priorities. This was my last spin for the event. It was part of the longest thread 10g challenge on Team Daedalus. I achieved a 70.5 yards chain plied yarn with a total of 211.5 yards. Not the best yardage but likely my own personal best. This was spun on my Magpie with the Ultra V1 flyer at 42% speed. I don’t know how @longdrawjames manages faster speeds... I swear he’s magic. 🤣 more photos to follow! #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #teamdaedalus2020 #tourdefleece #tourdefleece2020 #tdf2020 #3dprinting #spottedewefibers #magpiespinner #daedalusmagpie #spinningcotton #cottonspinning #seaislandcotton

This Walnut Super Skeiner is everything I had hoped for. The darker wood is so gorgeous and makes the yarn colors pop.

Walnut Super Skeiner is Super Gorgeous! 🥰 #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #fiberyfun365 #Superskeiner #akerworks


@akerworks has been throwing some major hints to something new that will be added to the shop hopefully soon. Adan knew that as soon as they ventured out into the other woods for the Super Skeiner that I would have to have one in Walnut. It’s absolutely freaking GORGEOUS!!!!!! #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #fiberyfun365 #Superskeiner #akerkate #butterflykate #akerworks

Last photo for the day. ❤️ #flower #flowersofinstagram #floralphotography #flowerphotography #stargazerlily #stargazer #lilyflower #flowerpetals #flowerpetal #floralphotography #flowersmakemehappy


Last weaving photo for the day and one of my favorites. This angle is so much fun! 🥰 #weaving #weaversofinstagram #weaversofig #babymacomber #samplerweaving #floorloomweaver #floorloomweaving


It’s so much fun finding angles to photograph this project. This one was tricky as my strobe can’t go as low as I’d like to light the shot. #weaving #weaversofinstagram #weaversofig #babymacomber #samplerweaving #floorloomweaver #floorloomweaving


Today’s progress on the sampler. This one was a lot of fun. Only one more pattern after this and then experimental time with the rest of the warp. #weaving #weaversofinstagram #weaversofig #babymacomber #samplerweaving #floorloomweaver #floorloomweaving


Tuesday/Wednesday’s progress on my sampler. I started using iWeaveit which has helped a ton at keeping track of where I am in the draft. #weaving #weaversofinstagram #weaversofig #babymacomber #samplerweaving #floorloomweaver #floorloomweaving

Updates have been far and few between but rest assured I’m still ensuring it works in tip top shape! An issue arose with some changes the officials made with color codes that took priority over my theme resulting in the inability to see the stash navigation. It took me a bit to figure out how to bypass this but it’s all good now. Should you see any other wonkiness with odd colors or perhaps text gone missing please let me know right away. #ravelry #ravelrypro #ravelryaccessibility #ravelrydesigner #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #fiberyfun365 #spin15aday #knittersofinstagram #crochetersofinstagram #weaversofinstagram #newravelrydesign #knittersofravelry #ravelrycrochet #ravelrydesigner #ravelrydesigners #ravelryupdate #ravelryknitter #ravelryknitters #crochetersofravelry
