Shady Jon<p>Here are the cute little Valais Blacknose I promised you from MDSW yesterday!</p><p>I was sad to read to today that the hail storm that hit right as we were heading out from the parking lot took out a significant number of vendors. </p><p><a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/MDSW" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MDSW</span></a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/fiberarts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fiberarts</span></a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/wool" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>wool</span></a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/spinning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>spinning</span></a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/knitting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>knitting</span></a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/sheep" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sheep</span></a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/SheepOfMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SheepOfMastodon</span></a></p>
BlackPixelDust: Art :autism:<p>I legit keep looking at my handspun stash in despair. Then I look at my fiber stash and it's bigger.</p><p>Idk what is the use of asking "how did this happen". But I am looking for a (handspun) yarn for a spring/fall hat and I have NOTHING. 😩</p><p>And I have many pounds of handspun fiber. Countless 1000s of yards/meters.<br>I will fix it. I am just in shock and despair. But I do love my handspun and fiber.

MarieLouise<p>Finished <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/knitting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>knitting</span></a> this Flax sweater. Started <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/spinning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>spinning</span></a> the yarn for it in August last year. One single was a multicoloured bamboo/merino, the other one a solid blue Shetland, twined together into a lovely soft fingering yarn. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/handspinning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>handspinning</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/handknit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>handknit</span></a></p>
Maru<p>Made a nice 3-ply of orange, red and burgondy coloured merino. It's omly 46 grams, so I will spin and ply some more, but I only have black left. Thinking of <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/knitting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>knitting</span></a> socks for my husband with it, but they need to get a sturdy stich pattern on the sole... <a href="https://sunny.garden/tags/spinning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>spinning</span></a></p>
consumableJoy<p>Fossil Fibers launched a Studio Ghibli themed fiber collection for April / May (planned before the recent AI-driven Ghibli noise). I love some of them - Howl, Haku, Ponyo. But the one that got be to buy was the soot sprite kit, because I can think of all kinds of fun ways to combine these. And because they really hit the spot on Soot Sprite for me. <a href="https://www.fossilfibers.com/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="">fossilfibers.com/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/spinning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>spinning</span></a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/handspinning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>handspinning</span></a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/fiberArts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fiberArts</span></a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/fiber" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fiber</span></a></p>
Shady Jon<p>Really stoked to get my Hansen e-spinner out and start spinning again.

BlackPixelDust: Art :autism:<p>I can just about replicate my previous yarn/fiber colorways. Good think there really isn't a perfect "dye lot" when it comes to dyeing spinning fiber, like when you have a yarn.</p><p>I kinda look at what colors I have and say... what colorway are we dyeing today? </p><p>... I need to work on dyeing some fiber but I have a lot to do. Strangely enough I don't like dyeing m my handspun yarn in wacky colors. 🤔</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/spinning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>spinning</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/dyeing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dyeing</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/knitting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>knitting</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/crochet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>crochet</span></a></p>
BlackPixelDust: Art :autism:<p>Good morning/afternoon.</p><p>Watching Rebecca from Chemknits (on YouTube.) <br>It's a random episode. She's dyeing sock blank donuts. (She's one of my goto yarn-tube channels to watch.)</p><p>She has a background as a science teacher so all her videos are yarn dyeing experiments.</p><p>When I dye yarn and fiber... I legit go with Vibes. 🥴 I have an idea of where I wanna go, but I dye and overdye until I get results.

Paul Fenwick<p>With the addition of a new tool to the household I've turned my yucca fibre into baby's first wheel-spun single-ply thread. </p><p>Learning how to use a spinning wheel has its challenges, but I can feel myself improving as I go. </p><p>🧵</p><p><a href="https://cloudisland.nz/tags/fibre" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fibre</span></a> <a href="https://cloudisland.nz/tags/spinning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>spinning</span></a> <a href="https://cloudisland.nz/tags/yucca" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>yucca</span></a></p>

BlackPixelDust: Art :autism:<p>I do want another Romney fleece. Some classify it as a long wool because it technically is. Others classify it as a "medium" wool because the fleece isn't as long as most long wools, it's somewhat softer and finer.</p><p>I find it a good workhorse wool. Great for adult sweaters, hats, socks and gloves.</p><p>It's used for meat and wool in the US. It's a BIG sheep. The nearby fiber festival had Romney fleeces upwards of 15 lbs. Largest was 21 lbs? 😰 majority are white.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/spinning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>spinning</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/knitting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>knitting</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/crochet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>crochet</span></a></p>
BlackPixelDust: Art :autism:<p>Primitive breed sheep's wool is called that because the sheep isn't "improved" by cross breeding it with other breeds. The sheep's genetics have been the same for 100s or 1000s of years.</p><p>Some Primitive breeds I want to try or have tried and liked: Jacob, karakul, Icelandic, gotland, romanov, gotland, faroese...</p><p>A lot of those breeds are in Europe or Asia. Only a few flocks In the US.</p><p>Sampling raw fleece from those is hard because of international shipping regulations.</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/spinning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>spinning</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/knitting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>knitting</span></a></p>
BlackPixelDust: Art :autism:<p>I typically don't spin woolen, unless I'm using a supported spindle. But spinning Cotswold woolen is making the yarn fluffy and slightly softer. (Not by much.)</p><p>Many long wools are rougher than "medium" and fine wools.<br>Primitive breed wools are a toss up as to softness. But softness isn't the only reason to choose a certain fleece.</p><p>Some folks like spinning art yarns with the wool locks. And it's gorgeous.

BlackPixelDust: Art :autism:<p>Spinning this particular long wool in a woolen style as opposed to worsted is interesting. Long wools need very little twist (unless you're using it for weaving.)</p><p>The curls on this Cotswold fleece are so gorgeous. I had a moment of panic about running out of this fleece. So I began looking around for similar long wools: Wensleydale, teeswater, Border Leicester...</p><p>Nothing on etsy or ebay. Idk farmers nearby that have long wool flocks. I think many farmers haven't shorn yet.<br><a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/spinning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>spinning</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/knitting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>knitting</span></a></p>
BlackPixelDust: Art :autism:<p>Good morning. </p><p>Spinning wool. Cotswold wool on a supported/bottom whorl spindle.</p><p>I'm getting tired of spinning the superwash merino + nylon blend (for socks). The texture isn't really interesting me right now. Tussah silk is still interesting. It's just... the individual fibers get stuck to EVERYTHING. It's basically like spinning a bunch of spider's webs. Except silk comes from a moth.</p><p>Well, you know. 😅</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/knitting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>knitting</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/crochet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>crochet</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/spinning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>spinning</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.art/tags/yarn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>yarn</span></a></p>

consumableJoy<p>My name has come up on the waiting list for a Daedalus Starling!

Terri K O 🍁<p>Finally finished the last of my spindle turtles!</p><p>I'd originally thought to ply these in pairs but decided after the first one that I'd chain ply because I liked the smoother gradient I'd get that way. This is 2oz of fiber from Fully Spun in the Omnisexual Pride colourway. The plan will be to use it in some colourwork, probably a hat or mitts.</p><p><a href="https://social.afront.org/tags/spinning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>spinning</span></a> <a href="https://social.afront.org/tags/SpindleSpinning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SpindleSpinning</span></a> <a href="https://social.afront.org/tags/DropSpindle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DropSpindle</span></a> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/spinning" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>spinning</span></a></span></p>
Kymberly<p>While I’m still slowly knitting up (down?) the sleeves of the jumper, to give my angry wrist a break, I have been continuing to spin up the colourful advent calendar from das-wollschaf.de.</p><p>The grey Blue Faced Leicester was so awesomely soft and squishy, but with the sari seide flecks, looked like those compressed fabric sheets used for insulation or old cleaning rags. So I plied it with another blue blend (merino, stellina) from the calendar. The other two are merino.</p><p>Little samples are great for new spinners (or newish like me) to learn what is fun to spin - sari seide isn’t my cup of tea! And good to see what base fiber would make a lovely squishy jumper - definitely fell in love with BFL even though it wasn’t as much fun as merino. </p><p><a href="https://old.mermaid.town/tags/spinning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>spinning</span></a> <a href="https://old.mermaid.town/tags/handspun" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>handspun</span></a> <a href="https://old.mermaid.town/tags/FiberArts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FiberArts</span></a> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/fiberarts" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>fiberarts</span></a></span></p>
