My Tour de Fleece plans! It's a lot of stuff and I don't plan to finish it all by any means during the tour. In the bins is the TdF gradient set by @fossilfibers on Polwarth/Silk to be spun on Dandillion the Starling V3FP. Just Riding Along and Along the Water by @threewatersfarm on SW Merino/Nylon split in half to be spun for socks on my freshly updated Magpie V2. Sunflower Fields by Fossil Fibers on BFL being spun on @Akerworks Mixy Spindles. This is my walk to the mailbox spin. Pitch by @spottedewefibers on Camel/Silk 50/50 being spun longdraw from rolags on Bumbles the Starling XL. Lastly two of my 2019 advents on @jenkinsspindles the purple is @inglenookfibers and the green is @hipstrings. The natural-colored Alpaca spindle bag was made by Lourdes Chira Gutierrez of Accha Alta. The naturally dyed Canoa bag was made by Yenny Cusihuaman Huallpayunca of Chinchero. Both were purchased through @abbysyarns / @centro_textiles_cusco. #tourdefleece #tourdefleece2022 #tdf2022 #twftdf2022 #fossilfiberstdf22 #TeamAkerworks2022 #Akerworks #jenkinsturkishspindle #igspinnersinspiration #wemakeyarn #spinnersoftheworld #threewatersfarm #fossilfibers #hipstrings #inglenookfibers #spottedewefibers #daedalusspinningwheels #daedalusmagpie #daedalusstarling

SQUEE!!!! This spindle from @spanish_peacock is incredibly special. It has made a long long journey from where it was originally from in Chernivtsi Ukraine. This wood journeyed across the border over to Poland to be shipped since the Ukraine post was unable to operate. This particular wood is over 2,000 years old! The spin on this spindle is absolutely brilliant! It pairs so beautifully with blue and yellow! 💙 🇺🇦 💛 Braids are Sunny Day and Riveting Blue by @threewatersfarm. I think I'll need to order some more blue/yellow fiber from Mary Ann to pair with this spindle as these two braids are part of existing projects. #ukraine #standwithukraine #spanishpeacock #threewatersfarm #supportedspindle #bogoak #spindlespinning #spindlersofinstagram #igspinners #handspunyarn #handspinning #yarnspinners #spinnersoftheworld #spinnersofinstagram #handspunwool #handspinnersofig #yarnspinnersofinstagram

More wonderful birthday presents from my fiber friends! The Daedalus Wings Turkish spindle was made by @jeribrock out of Bog Oak. The fountain pen was turned by @ginypher out of I believe Amboyna Burl. @spottedewefibers and @ginypher picked out this beautiful bag from @cottontailfarmva. #jeribrockwoodworks #turkishspindle #spindlespinning #spindlespinnersofinstagram #handturnedpen #handturnedfountainpen #fountainpen #harristweed #cottontailfarmva #daedalusspinningwheels

Thank you all so much for all the birthday wishes! I received some wonderful presents from my fiber friends! These are just the fiber, I have some other wonderful presents from them as well that I still need to photograph. I adore my friends so much and cannot thank them enough for these beautiful pretties! Will get the rest of the photos very soon. The braids in the first four photos were dyed by my dear friends @spottedewefibers and @longdrawjames. They are both amazing dyers and a dream team together! The beautiful braid from @the100thsheep and the braid after from @intothewhirled are gifts from Becca from Ply Away and Maryland Sheep and Wool. The gradient from @angellocksfiber is a gift from @longdrawjames. And the last is Fresh Guacamole dyed by @fiberobsessions that was gifted from @jeribrock. This colorway makes me giggle and the name is so incredibly fitting! #ashenewe #ashenflock #spottedewefibers #longdrawjames #the100thsheep #intothewhirled #angellocksfiberworks #fiberobsessions #igspinnersinspiration #wemakeyarn #spinnersoftheworld #spinningyarn #handspun #handspinnersofinstagram

I’ve been diligently spinning away trying to knock out some of my WIPs. I thought it would be fun to gather all of my Daedalus spun yarns to view what all I’ve spun on my flock of wheels since I got my first wheel the Starling Mini in January of 2019. All of these yarns were spun and/or plied on a Daedalus wheel. Two skeins are currently on the needles, several skeins were homed with Becca, and a set of 3 skeins were for a Ply Magazine article. I currently have four bobbins loaded with WIPs that I’m hoping to wrap up by the end of Tour de Fleece. #igspinnersinspiration #wemakeyarn #spinnersoftheworld #spinnersofinstagram #handspunwool #handspinnersofig #yarnspinnersofinstagram #daedalusspinningwheels #espinners #espinnersofinstagram

SQUEEE!!! The yarns that were dyed during the Natural Dye Day I attended virtually through @abbysyarns's Franquemont University are here!!! All of these were naturally dyed in ginormous pots. It was so incredible to be able to watch and learn how these skeins were dyed and then get to see them in person. The color and saturation are so gorgeous. I will be adding more twist to these skeins to use them for weaving bands. @abbysyarns has a sale atm until Sunday on the shop. Simply enter the coupon code PENTECOSTES to take 20% off all the wonderful things Abby has to offer. The background is a large manta woven by 2 weavers. Three panels were woven by Martha Quispe Turpo and one panel by Asunta Quispe Espinoza from Santa Cruze de Sallac.

Both sets of Acala cotton are all plied up! This was before washing. I've washed the skeins and I definitely think figure 8 skeins are the way to go for handspun like this. Easy to Spin Acala cotton dyed by @longdrawjames and spun on a Sparrow and Falcon. #ashenflock #longdrawjames #spinningcotton #easytospincotton #acalacotton #cottonspinning #wemakeyarn #spinningyarn #handspun #handspinnersofinstagram #daedalusspinningwheels #daedalusfalcon
