Yay for yarn balls!!!!! Getting ready to knit knee high socks with my @threewatersfarm #tdf2017 yarns! I absolutely love hand wound yarn balls. They are so pretty! ❤️ #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #threewatersfarm #teamtwf2017 #tdf2017 #tourdefleece2017 #handspunsocks
Sample comparison between woolen long draw with rolags vs short forward draw with roving of the same 60/40 Merino/Alpaca blend. They are both airy and squishy with the rolag yarn being more so as well as more rustic looking. The roving sample spin is definitely leaning more Semi Worsted than Woolen. I'll be spinning the rest of the roving sample on the Aura splitting it up half will be long draw and half short forward. #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #Majacraft #MajacraftAura #jenkinsturkishspindle #woolenspinning #longdraw #rolags #roving #worstedspinning #semiwoolen #semiworsted
Spun up all the sample rolags I made of the Merino/Alpaca yesterday. I still need to practice more with long draw but overall not too bad. Navajo plied to see how it would look as a three ply. #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #MajacraftAura #Majacraft #Akerworks #spinninglongdraw #longdrawspinning #rolags #woolenspinning
This gorgeous beauty arrived last Friday. Ed's spindles never cease to amaze me. The wood is Spalted Hawthorne which I don't think I've seen before. The contrast between the patterning in the wood along with the dark Spalted lines is incredible. To top it off is a special Tour de Fleece Turtle which has only been used for the spindles Ed created specifically for the giveaway during TdF this year. Fiber is a small sample of Merino/Alpaca roving I blended up. ❤️ #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #jenkinsturkishspindle #turkishspindle #aegeanspindle #tdf2017 #tourdefleece2017 #teamjenkins2017
