Oh this Finnsheep from CandLGrey Farm is such a dreamy fawn color. I’ll be sharing a very limited amount of batts of this gorgeous, airy soft fleece soon! #wool #spinner #handspinning #yarn #fleece #fiberartist #fiberarts #sheep #spinningyarn #spinningyarn

A group of recent wish list custom order spindles. I’ll be working on public offering spindles this week. #wool #spinner #handspinning #yarn #fleece #fiberartist #fiberarts #sheep #spinningyarn #spinningyarn

‘Pip’ the Romney scoured up so bright white, lustrous, & soft 🐑🤍 #wool #spinner #handspinning #yarn #fleece #fiberartist #fiberarts #sheep #spinningyarn #spinningyarn 🧶

Just in pure awe & appreciation of this stunning, lustrous fleece that I received today… ‘Pip’ the white Romney from Barinaga Ranch 🐑 Marcia’s fleeces are always 🤌🏼😮‍💨 #wool #spinner #handspinning #yarn #fleece #fiberartist #fiberarts #sheep #spinningyarn #spinningyarn 🧶

Today, me & my frustration did some scouring. It helped a bit. This is Soley, the white Gotland yearling from High Hill Gotland 🤍 Pure white except for a little light grey on a few of the tips 🤤 #wool #spinner #handspinning #yarn #fleece #fiberartist #fiberarts #sheep #spinningyarn #spinningyarn 🧶

Pretty little ply ball of ‘Casita’ & ‘Scarlett’ Romney from Barinaga Ranch, with some Gotland lamb, & my Lignum Vitae longwool spindle. #wool #spinner #handspinning #yarn #fiberartist #fiberarts #sheep #spinningyarn #spinningyarn

3oz. on my Lignum Vitae longwool spindle… the last few grams were a bit of a struggle 😂 Unwinding into a ply ball & on to the next batt. ‘Casita’ & ‘Scarlett’ Romney from Barinaga Ranch & Gotland lamb. #wool #spinner #handspinning #yarn #fiberartist #fiberarts #sheep #spinningyarn #spinningyarn

A very special treat from High Hill Gotland… instead of the common Gotland grey, this yearling, Soley, is mostly bright white with such a lustrous sheen 🤍 #wool #spinner #handspinning #yarn #fleece #fiberartist #fiberarts #sheep #spinningyarn #spinningyarn 🧶

Beautiful Figured Kansas Black Walnut, made from wood brought to me from Kansas by my Uncle Jim - who happens to be an incredibly talented woodworker 🤍 So much character in this special Walnut. #wool #spinner #handspinning #yarn #fleece #fiberartist #fiberarts #sheep #spinningyarn #spinningyarn

Gorgeous black Cormo/Corriedale from Barinaga Farm, taupe Finnsheep lamb & grey/fawn ewe from CandLGrey Farm, & the softest, finest Saxon Merino lamb from Catskill Merino 🐑 So in love! #wool #spinner #handspinning #yarn #fleece #fiberartist #fiberarts #sheep #spinningyarn #spinningyarn 🧶

I'm a 3rd gen woodworker & my Uncle Jim (from KS), makes the most incredible custom furniture…& when he comes to CO to visit, he brings me some of his hand picked highly figured Black Walnut 🤤 #spinningfiber #spinning #spinningyarn #handspinning #handspun #fiberarts #yarn #spindle #supportspindle 🧶

I’m in awe of this 7 lb lustrous Romney from Barinaga Ranch. Finally getting around to scouring it today - I keep getting distracted & stopping to drool over the locks 🤤 #wool #spinner #handspinning #yarn #fleece #fiberartist #fiberarts #sheep #spinningyarn #spinningyarn 🧶

I combed & carded 2 of my scoured Romney fleeces (from Barinaga Ranch)- ‘Scarlett’ & ‘Casita’ - & blended both with super soft Gotland lamb. Then did a gradient of them together. 5oz for me 🤤 #wool #spinner #handspinning #yarn #fleece #fiberartist #fiberarts #sheep #spinningyarn #spinningyarn 🧶

5oz skein of hand-processed, warm grey ‘Casita’ Romney (Barinaga Ranch), spun on my 65g Lignum Vitae longwool spindle. So much luster & surprisingly super soft hand. #wool #spinner #handspinning #yarn #fleece #fiberartist #fiberarts #sheep #spinningyarn #spinningyarn 🧶
