Next layer of the last braid of the TdF gradient by @fossilfibers. These colors are so full of happiness. Makes me think of cranberry orange juice.

Contemplating my first flock spin for supported spindles. This was all instigated by the Bog Oak spindle from @spanish_peacock second spindle from the left. The Bog Oak is from Ukraine and I thought it would be nice to spin something blue and yellow to honor where it came from. These gorgeous Exploding TARDIS batts from @hipstrings will be such a wonderful spin for these spindles. I still have a few other projects on my plate I'd like to get done before I tackle this but needed a little bit of sunshine today so had to unwrap the batts for the first time and really admire them along with the spindles I hope to spin it with. #ukraine #standwithukraine #spanishpeacock #longdrawjames #longdrawjamesspindles #supportedspindle #supporteddealgan #creativewithclay #spindlespinning #spindlersofinstagram #igspinnersinspiration #wemakeyarn #spinnersoftheworld

I can't believe summer is over and we are now into fall. It's a bit bittersweet but I'm looking forward to some fall and Halloween festivities. Two of my favorite dyers made some personal seasonal colorways. @fossilfibers made adorable spin to knit pumpkin kits along with a gradient set that was inspired by a cute photo of little pumpkins. I may have talked @longdrawjames into creating a fall leaf colorway which I'll be spinning to knit into a fall weather Cameo shawl. The pumpkin kit will be made into a sweet little pumpkin for my Lucas the Spider. I also have some other fun festive ideas to spin for him. Speaking of Lucas... Dave of @daedalusspinningwheels gifted me this sweet little Peacock Spider!!!! Isn't he adorable?!?!?! I may have run around the house with him squeeing in excitement. I'm debating between naming him, Logan or Steve... #fossilfibers #longdrawjames #ashenflock #spinningyarn #handspun #handspinnersofinstagram #igspinners #handspunyarn #handspinning #yarnspinners #fossilfibersfall

A special delivery arrived from my dear friends @longdrawjames and @daedalusspinningwheels. In it contained all the best dyed fiber and a few other super special presents. Several of the braids of fiber were dyed in one of my all time favorite colorways Wrong Frog. This colorway was created through a frog species I suggested to James but we got our wires crossed and he dyed it after another frog that is within a similar color palette. I recently discovered nail stamping... haven't tried it yet but when I saw this frog plate from @hellomaniology I had to get it along with a few froggie colors from @orly. I'm hoping soon I'll have some Wrong Frog themed nails. #wrongfrog #ashenflock #longdrawjames #maniology #orly #igspinnersinspiration #wemakeyarn #spinnersoftheworld #spinnersofinstagram #handspunwool #handspinnersofig #yarnspinnersofinstagram

Next layer of the last braid of the TdF gradient by @fossilfibers. I'm so loving the depth of the orange section.

Just a little bit ago I saw our mailman pulling into the driveway and told Linhart well looks like there is a package for you as I wasn't expecting anything. To my surprise, as I open the door I see a little square box that I recognize as being from my favorite potter @charansachar. In it was one of his beautiful green Handspun mugs! I love so much the variable weight in the yarn, it's magical. Thank you so much, Charan for brightening my day! I use your mugs every single day and they always bring a smile to my face. These four mugs are my most cherished mugs. #creativewithclay #handspunmugs #handmademugs #igspinnersinspiration #spinningyarn #spinnersofinstagram #handspinnersofig

I started in on the last 110g bump of hand-dyed cotton from @longdrawjames. This is Easy to Spin Pima spun on my Falcon at 50% speed. This green is so delightful and I'm a bit sad that this is the very last bit of dyed cotton I have from James. Though I am excited about getting to spin up some gorgeously dyed cotton from @hipstrings after this is done. Background: Handwoven by me. The draft is the Beginning 4 Harness Sampler by @yarnbarnks. #spinningcotton #easytospincotton #pimacotton #cottonspinning #igspinnersinspiration #wemakeyarn #spinnersoftheworld #spinningyarn #handspun #handspinnersofinstagram #daedalusspinningwheels #daedalusfalcon
