All skeined up and taking a good soak! Yardage prior to washing was 975 yards for 8 oz of BFL/Silk. #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #jenkinsturkishspindle #twfdec19 #Big18JenkinsSpin #threewatersfarm #fiberyfun365 #spin15aday #starlingspinner #daedalusspinningwheels


On the 9th day of #spin15aday12days I finished plying and skeined up my Flock Spin. Unfortunately can’t place it by the fire while lit as our upgrade to tankless water heater takes up enough gas to not be allowed to use the fireplace except during power outages. Water heater upgrade was worth it though. ❤️ #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #jenkinsturkishspindle #twfdec19 #Big18JenkinsSpin #threewatersfarm #fiberyfun365 #spin15aday


Second layer at 441 yards. I’ve gone through about the last 10 spindles so far. #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #jenkinsturkishspindle #twfjan20 #Big18JenkinsSpin #threewatersfarm #fiberyfun365 #spin15aday #superskeiner #akerworks


Winding off at 3 yards on the Super Skeiner! Yardage is 240 yards so far. 😄


The LAST TURTLE!!!!!!!!! So far plying has been relatively smooth and even the few yarn barfs were easily managed. This wee little turtle is the freshest of the bunch and I’ll be taking it a bit slower as it might want to cause a little trouble. Luckily it’s only 7.1g so it’ll go be quick regardless.

On the 8th day of #spin15aday12days I realized I missed taking a photo of the bobbin on the 7th day. It was entirely purple as seen in my 2019 group photo. I only have 4 turtles left to ply! It will get done tomorrow! #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #jenkinsturkishspindle #twfdec19 #Big18JenkinsSpin #threewatersfarm #fiberyfun365 #spin15aday


Every year I end the year with a group photo of everything spinning related I did that year. I got a bit of a late start on gathering everything together. It always surprises me just how much everything piles up when I put it all together. 2019 was full of surprises and I certainly didn’t anticipate that I would have an espinner! The three @daedalusspinningwheels pictured here I made thanks to Dave and they totally threw all of my spinning expectations for this year out the window 🤣 I spun and plied nearly 30 oz of yarn on my Starlings! That’s not including the plying I’m currently doing on Bumbles. I finally finished spinning the Big 18 Jenkins Flock Spin ans will have that hopefully all plied up today or tomorrow. I acquired several new spindles and played with dyeing my own handspun thanks to @woolwench’s incredible dyeing techniques she shared through TinyStudio. I still have a lot of existing spinning projects to finish and I hope to finish them this year. #daedalusspinningwheels #spottedewefibers #spinnersofinstagram #spinallthethings #spinallthefiber #spinstagram #espinner #spinningyarn #handspunstagram #igspinners #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #fiberyfun365 #starlingspinner #allenberryspindle #judithmackenzie #blackbirdespinner #akerworks #akerworksmodularspindle #jenkinsturkishspindle #aaronmakesstuff #threewatersfarm #twfjan20 #woolgatherings #huckleberryknits #greenwoodfiberworks
