Planning out my first flock spin on my supported spindles made by @longdrawjames. The dyed braids are I got at St. Distaff’s day 2019 from @huckleberryknits’s bargain bin. Fiber is unknown but as always super lovely. Silk on the right is Muga from @heavenlyknitchet and silk on the right is Red Eri from @spottedewefibers. Project is inspired by Heavenly’s beautiful little batts. I’m planning on carding this all up and turning it into puni style rolags my favorite prep for longdraw. I’m still uncertain on how I’ll divide the braids up. #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #fiberyfun365 #spin15aday #supportedspindle #supporteddealgan #dealgan #longdrawjamesspindles #huckleberryknits #spottedewefibers #heavenlyknitchet #wildsilk #mugasilk #rederisilk

I had so much fun putting together these render samples for the @spottedewefibers shop page. This Starling V3 is owned by @jessicamaryfarmer ❤️ Birth Certificates renders come as a 8.5 by 11 printable file. #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #starlingspinner #starlingv3 #daedalusspinningwheels #spottedewefibers #daedalusspinningwheelsrenders

Exciting news!!!! Dave and Becca have enjoyed my @daedalusspinningwheels renders I do to plan out my colors for new wheels so much that I’ll now be selling my rendering services on the @spottedewefibers website! Originally this was going to be just so folks could plan out the colors of their wheels but I thought hey! What if I make birth certificates that has the name of your wheel, the date the egg was laid(purchase date), the date it flew the coop(shipping date), and its serial number. The birth certificates are delivered as a 8.5 by 11 printable file. I’ve had a lot of fun putting this together and I’m looking forward to rendering other people’s dream wheels! Ordering of Renders and Birth Certificates is now live with Black Friday update! 😄 #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #starlingspinner #starlingv3 #daedalusspinningwheels #spottedewefibers #daedalusspinningwheelsrenders

A closer look at the Kingwood Supported Dealgan. I love the beauty of Heartwood and Sapwood together. ❤️ #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #fiberyfun365 #spin15aday #supportedspindle #supporteddealgan #dealgan #longdrawjamesspindles

This is the set I’ve been waiting for since the moment @longdrawjames showed me in passing a Kingwood long he was thinking about purchasing. It was so incredibly gorgeous and I knew if he got even just part of it I’d love to have a set of both his spindles and a bowl. The UFO has a Curly Maple shaft which looks very similar to the sap of the Kingwood. The bowl and Supported Dealgan feature both the Heartwood and Sapwood. The Dealgan is about half and half so depending on how you look at the spindle you see all Heartwood, all Sapwood, or a split of both. I love how there’s so much variation in the wood in terms of the grain and color. The Sapwood is such a beautiful contrast. I’m extremely impressed by how beautifully the Supported Dealgan spins as the density between Heartwood and Sapwood can throw things off balance easily. James will have more spindles and bowls made out of this gorgeous wood. He’ll have some available this year before winter sets in and more available once he gets back to the lathe once things warm up next year. #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #fiberyfun365 #spin15aday #supportedspindle #supporteddealgan #dealgan #longdrawjamesspindles

This beauty is made of Curly Maple and was going into the bin due to a finishing snafu that caused some splotches. It a beautiful spinner though and the imperfections are not that bad. James is quite the perfectionist so anything that lands in the whole is sure to be wonderful in every way. #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #fiberyfun365 #spin15aday #supportedspindle #supporteddealgan #dealgan #longdrawjamesspindles

This was one of those moments where @longdrawjames showed me a sneak peek at what he had worked on that day and I knew it had to be part of my flock. This gorgeous set is made of Macassar Ebony. It’s incredibly gorgeous. ❤️ #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #fiberyfun365 #spin15aday #supportedspindle #supporteddealgan #dealgan #longdrawjamesspindles

This Spalted Tamarind definitely gave James a run for his money 😂 I knew it could be a tricky wood and that it likely wouldn’t be perfectly balanced but all that would be worth how beautiful it looks imperfections and all. It’s got some wobbles due to the nature of the wood and the difficulties it caused but I absolutely love it! The wobbles will likely calm down once I throw fiber at it. #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #fiberyfun365 #spin15aday #supportedspindle #longdrawjamesspindles

After all that spinning on the Geranium Modular spindle it moved on over to the Majacraft Aura for plying! I love chain plying my spindle projects as you just join the next single when you get to the end of one and it’s such a seamless process. Since this was only a four oz project I used the lace kit with an Akerworks Baby Bobbin. #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #fiberyfun365 #spin15aday #akerworks #akerworksmodularspindle #modularspindle #akerworksdropspindlestarterkit #majacraft #majacraftaura

This project ❤️ I love how beautiful the spins are on these spindles. Every angle is so much fun! Little note, this is one of the original Geraniums back when @akerworks Modular Spindles had hubs(the black center piece). All Modular Spindles are now hubless so the center portion would be solid green. #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #fiberyfun365 #spin15aday #akerworks #akerworksmodularspindle #modularspindle #akerworksdropspindlestarterkit

4 oz braid fits right at the 1/4th marker on this bobbin(the tip of the petal). The colorway is Holy Hibiscus and the fiber blend is 14.5 Micron Merino/White Eri/Gold Angelina by @spottedewefibers.

I finished the last of the first 4 oz on Sunday! @daedalusspinningwheels has designed these bobbins to have 1/4, 1/2, and 3/4 markers within the pattern. According to how this filled up I could fit a whole pound of singles on this wheel! The next braid is going on a new bobbin since I’ll be doing a 2 ply. The second braid was split in half to shorten the length of the color repeats so the colors will change much faster in this one. The colorway is Holy Hibiscus and the fiber blend is 14.5 Micron Merino/White Eri/Gold Angelina by @spottedewefibers.

Continuation of my posts celebrating the release of the @akerworks Drop Spindle Starter Kit. One of the many reasons why I love these spindles is how easy it is to continue a project across multiple shafts. I like to place the small whorls on the finished ones to help keep the cops tidy. #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #fiberyfun365 #spin15aday #akerworks #akerworksmodularspindle #modularspindle #akerworksdropspindlestarterkit

Today Adan and the @akerworks Team announced the Drop Spindle Starter Kit which features one of my all time favorite drop spindles the Medium Geranium on a 10 in shaft. This particular one and the fiber are extra special to me. They were a gift from Adan after I had gotten laid off from my job of 10 years. The spindle and fiber were such a perfect pair and it was such a joy to spin from start to finish. I love these spindles because not only are they beautiful and easy enough to use for newbies but they continue to be an absolute joy to spin even for highly experienced spinners. They are beautifully balanced with fast long spins that make spinning so much fun. #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #fiberyfun365 #spin15aday #akerworks #akerworksmodularspindle #modularspindle #akerworksdropspindlestarterkit

This Roadrunner is absolutely breathtakingly gorgeous! It’s such a wonderful spinner and the fiber that Wanda paired with it as a sample is such a perfect pairing.

A special delivery arrived from Ed and Wanda Jenkins! ❤️ Ed got his hands on some of the finest looking Masur Birch I’ve ever seen!

I’m well on my way to a gorgeous flock of supported spindles thanks to the super enabling @longdrawjames 😂 I am so overjoyed that I can finally happily spin in supported spindles. I’ve got a few priorities I’m working on arm and I’ve got a couple more spindles on the way so it will be just a wee bit before I start working on the first flock spin. #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #fiberyfun365 #spin15aday #supportedspindle #supporteddealgan #dealgan #longdrawjamesspindles

This beauty caught my eye immediately with the radiating heart in the grain. This is Mopane and is the heaviest of my Supported Dealgans made by @longdrawjames. It has a gorgeous spin and that grain!!!! 😍 #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #fiberyfun365 #spin15aday #supportedspindle #supporteddealgan #dealgan #longdrawjamesspindles

Chakte Viga Supported Dealgan by @longdrawjames. This little beauty has a wee bit of a wobble so it didn’t make it into the shop. James is extreeeeeemly picky about what goes into the shop. Everything he makes is so beautiful visually and functionally. Even though this little spindle has a wee bit of a wobble it’s still going to do a great job at spinning beautiful singles. ❤️ #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #fiberyfun365 #spin15aday #supportedspindle #supporteddealgan #dealgan #longdrawjamesspindles

@longdrawjames found this gorgeous board of Curly Kiaat at a semi local wood shop. It was so worth the drive he ended up going back again to nab another board of this wood. The chatoyancy and coloration is amazing and reminds me a lot of the precious stone Tigers Eye. #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #fiberyfun365 #spin15aday #supportedspindle #supporteddealgan #dealgan #longdrawjamesspindles

As soon as @longdrawjames shared a work in progress shot of this spindle turned into one of the seagulls from Finding Nemo 🤣 I told him so yea if no one has called dibs I’ll buy that one!!! This one is so incredibly stunning and absolutely perfect in every way. The whorl is Mopane and the shaft is Ebony. The Ebony brings out the beautiful vibrancy of the Mopane and the grain in the Mopane has such gorgeous movement and tones. The spin on this spindle is just as incredible as it looks. 🥰 #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #fiberyfun365 #spin15aday #supportedspindle #longdrawjamesspindles

Oh my SQUEEE!!!! This bunch of gorgeousness arrived from @longdrawjames! It really is magical when you find spindles that click with you and make spinning such a joy.
