I've been busy working on spinning WIPs but needed a wee bit of a break. I'm currently spinning up some delightful CVM destined for a special project. Andean spinning spindles are called Pushkas and the spindles shown here with the darker whorls are a specific type called Chaj Chaj which is the sound the captive ring makes while spinning. The bag these spindles are sitting on is a spindle bag that is able to hold the entire project. The spindle bag was woven by Susana Inquillay Apaza from Sallac. Purchased through @centro_textiles_cusco and @abbysyarns. #abbysyarns #franquemontuniversity #peruvianspindle #pushka #chacchac #chajchaj #khaitu #andeanweaving #andeanbackstrap #backstrapweaving #weaversofinstagram #handweaving #weavingyarns #igweavers #handwoventextiles #weaversgonnaweave

Trips to the mailbox have been not as frequent nor as leisurely since we've been dealing with poor air quality due to the smoke from the Bolt Creek Fire that has been burning since September 10th. We've had a few nice non smokey days but they are few and far between. Sunflower Fields on BFL dyed by @fossilfibers on @akerworks Mixy Spindles. The natural-colored Alpaca spindle bag was made by Lourdes Chira Gutierrez of Accha Alta. Purchased through @abbysyarns / @centro_textiles_cusco. #suspendedspindle #dropspindle #spindlespinning #spindlersofinstagram #akerworks #akerworksmixyspindle #akerworksspindles #igspinnersinspiration #spinnersoftheworld #igspinners #handspunyarn #handspinning #yarnspinners #fossilfibers

First time ever stamping my nails. I've been plotting how I would make Wrong Frog(colorway by @longdrawjames) nails for at least a month and I finally did it! The stamping was a lot of fun but I need to practice some more and also find some easier ways to clean my stamp plates while I'm working. Stamp Plate: @hellomanioiogy M303 @orly nail polish: Skinny Dip, In Full Plume, Frond of You, Neon Paradise, and Liquid Vinyl @hellomaniology stamping polish: Lime Pine, Straight-Up Black, and Plantation Tea #maniology #orly #frognails #naturalnails #nailartstamping #stampingnailart #stampednails #ashenflock #longdrawjames #igspinnersinspiration #wemakeyarn #spinnersoftheworld #yarnspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspunwool #handspinnersofig #yarnspinnersofinstagram

I don't have a favorite color scheme whatsoever 😂 Fiber is Wrong Frog on Double Sorted BFL dyed by @longdrawjames. Isn't it so much fun with everything is matchy matchy? The background is a sampler I wove using a draft by @yarnbarnks. @orly Nail Polish - Skinny Dip, In Full Plume, Frond of You, Neon Paradise, and Liquid Vinyl #bluefacedleicester #ashenflock #longdrawjames #igspinners #handspunyarn #handspinning #yarnspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspunwool #handspinnersofig #yarnspinnersofinstagram #daedalusspinningwheels #daedalusmagpie
