This special delivery arrived from one of my favorite local dyers @woolgatherings. She wasn’t dyeing there for awhile and I’m so extremely excited to see her back to dyeing. She has such gorgeous color sense. #igspinnersinspiration #spinningyarn #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #spinstagram #wemakeyarn #handspun #handspunyarn #handspunwool #handspunstagram #spinnersoftheworld #spinnersofravelry #handspinnersofinstagram #handspinning #handspinner #handspinnersofig #fiberfeature #fiberyfun365 #Spin15aday #woolgatherings

Happy green turtle spinning from yesterday. 💚 🐢 💚 Fiber is Summer’s Day by @huckleberryknits on BFL spun on a @jeribrock Turkish Spindle. #igspinnersinspiration #spinningyarn #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #spinstagram #wemakeyarn #handspun #handspunyarn #handspunwool #handspunstagram #spinnersoftheworld #spinnersofravelry #handspinnersofinstagram #handspinning #handspinner #handspinnersofig #fiberfeature #fiberyfun365 #Spin15aday #turkishspindle #jeribrockwoodworks #jeribrockspindle #huckleberryknits


It’s done!!!!! I’ve been working on filling up these two Sparrow bobbins since I got my Sparrows. This spinning was for a review I’m writing for tinyStudio Creative Life Magazine. I wanted to compare bobbin capacity with wool(in hand) and cotton. I’m amazed at the difference and so proud of those two beautifully stuffed bobbins. If you’d like to check out tinyStudio I’ve got links in my profile. TinyStudio is a digital publication soon to be offered in print starting with the next issue. #daedalusspinningwheels #daedalussparrow #SparrowSpinner #spinwithdaedalus #madewithdaedalus #teamdaedalus #electricspinner #espinner #electricspinningwheel #spinningwheel #igspinnersinspiration #spinningyarn #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #spinstagram #spinallthethings #spinallthefibers #wemakeyarn #handspun #handspunstagram #spinnersoftheworld #handspinnersofinstagram #handspinning #handspinner #handspinnersofig #cottonspinning #handspuncotton #seaislandcotton #easytospincotton


This gorgeousness I’m combing up with my new @majacraftnz prototype Extra Fine Hand Combs is some lovely British Polwarth gifted to me by @longdrawjames. It’s such a wonderful fleece to process and the combs have been such a delight to use. These new combs are still in development so please have patience. I’m looking forward to when Majacraft will be able to offer these up for sale. ❤️ #igspinnersinspiration #spinningyarn #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #spinstagram #wemakeyarn #handspun #handspunyarn #handspunwool #handspunstagram #spinnersoftheworld #spinnersofravelry #handspinnersofinstagram #handspinning #handspinner #handspinnersofig #fiberfeature #fiberyfun365 #Spin15aday #majacraft #majacrafthandcombs #handcombs #processingfleece


For those who were worried that when the #ravelryaccessibility walk out ended that the traffic rank would go back to lower better numbers... well it’s still taking a hit. Yesterday it was down 20 ranks from the last day of the walk out. I’m guessing it will continue to go down as people abandon the site for alternatives that don’t cause them problems until it levels out with those who remain unaffected. #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 #inclusivemaker #ravelrywipwed

I’m currently working on a review for the @daedalusspinningwheels Sparrow for tinyStudio Magazine. I’m testing out capacity and I’m getting so close to filling this bobbin. When I get this close though the bobbins seem to have a black hole and just never fill. I’m prepared though 😂 how much of this will it take... I don’t know. #daedalusspinningwheels #daedalussparrow #SparrowSpinner #spinwithdaedalus #madewithdaedalus #teamdaedalus #electricspinner #espinner #electricspinningwheel #spinningwheel #igspinnersinspiration #spinningyarn #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #spinstagram #spinallthefibers #wemakeyarn #handspun #handspunyarn #handspunstagram #handspinnersofinstagram #handspinning #handspinner #handspinnersofig #fiberyfun365 #Spin15aday


Ravelry continues to loose followers here on Instagram. I refuse to follow them inflating their ego. I also noticed they had a dramatic loss in people they follow. I’m unsure if they unfollowed or maybe blocked some people... or whether people forced the unfollow. I’m guessing a little bit of all of those scenarios. #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 #inclusivemaker #ravelrywipwed

For a point of reference on June 12th four days before the launch of NuRav the Alexa International rank was 7,965. Today it’s all the way down to 12,181. You want your rank to be a lower number. The higher number is bad and it keeps going higher. This is a clear indication that something is not right. I’m not sure how they don’t see this. #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 #inclusivemaker #ravelrywipwed


For anyone who doubted we could cause any significant change in traffic to the site. This clearly shows we have made a difference in the traffic! On March 29th the rank was 11,651 and it’s now dropped all the way down to 12,181. Remember when it comes to traffic rank on Alexa you want your rank number as low as possible. We will continue this walk out until April 6th! The date for this data is April 1st 2021. #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 #inclusivemaker #ravelrywipwed


We are extending the walk out by popular demand for a full week ending at the end of April 6th. Please spread the word! This was changed in light of how many people are just now learning of these issues and wanting to take part. This will also hopefully make a bigger impact. Remember that sharing your experience and interacting with others’ posts will help others more aware of what’s going on. Thanks so much to everyone who’s participating! ❤️ #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 #inclusivemaker #ravelrywipwed

Here is the larger picture of @hi.Ravelry’s Alexa International Ranking. You would think during a time when people had more free time to spend socializing online that the traffic would be increased. Here you can see a massive drop off when Ravelry launched NuRav and the it more or less stabilized. My personal thought on this is that the massive drop off are individuals who were greatly affected by the layout and were forced to abandon the site. ☹️ To clarify you want a low number rank. The world’s largest online art community DeviantArt is rank 440. Bigger numbers are bad. #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 #inclusivemaker #ravelrywipwed


The numbers are in for @hi.ravelry’s International Alexa Rank. The number at the top is March 31st and the number highlighted in the graph is March 30th. #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 #inclusivemaker #ravelrywipwed
