My very first combed top! I was only able to get a little bit combed before the light failed. Combing outside so I didn't have to sweep inside. It's not perfect but it is spin-able and feels really soft and smooth. #fiberarts #spinning #handspinning #slowcraft #makingyarn #spinner #fleece #wool 🧶 - ThreadSky

There is nothing quite like spinning top you've combed yourself. Did you use it just as you pulled it off, or did you plank it?

delendaestcarthago.bsky.social•110 days ago

Just as I pulled it off. I couldn’t wait to see how it spun. I’m delighted 😁

I have a nice bit of fleece here, but all my tools (except a few spindles) and the rest of the fibre is all packed away. It needs combing and I'm stuck.

Oh nooooo! That’s so annoying. Can you get to them?

freyalyn.bsky.social•110 days ago

Nope, all my wheels, looms, tools etc are safely in my mother-in-law's spare bedroom until we've moved (fingers crossed, next week). And once a box is taped up, that's it!

I have sock yarn to hand, all my circs and dpns, and a sweater on the go. I won't get (too much) withdrawal!

Phew. Good planning to have some things to work on. I hope the move goes smoothly and you can process that fleece soon. I have more of this to wash and I’m excited for it.

Love it! That color and texture look super.

Thank you! I have started spinning it and it spins. I’m so proud.
