What a great spinning resource to share!

A Friday fleece arrival meant I snuck in a few bits of play before facing the horrors. This handful of white Shetland wool locks washed up lovely and lustrous and quickly spun up into a structured and personality filled yarn. Weavette woven squares are great for small sample sizes like this.

Throwback to a fun quick knit from handspun: This is Entrechat knit from handspun Falkland for my niece when she was just a toddler. The colors just happened to line up so nicely with the texture in the pattern and I loved how it came together.

I can’t believe how ethereal and glowy this raw Cormo fleece is in the sunlight. It almost seems too angelic to scour and process. Almost. 😇

This basket of flicked, combed and handpicked locks of washed fleece represents the last six weeks of steady progress on preparing my current fleece for carding and spinning into yarn. 500g is pictured, 100g left to go. Next step carding this all into fluffy batts.

The two support spindles worth of fiber spun over the last week and a half were united today on my favorite plying spindle, a vintage early model of the Golding ring spindle in carved walnut. Even small actions, done as consistently as energy allows, do add up to progress.
