Anyone in the Netherlands (for ease of shipping and less anxiety) interested in doing a spinning fiber exchange for tour de fleece?

I'm offering: A few diverse handdyed and natural colour fibers ready to spin (100% wool), for example a total of 150 grams of fiber (could be more!). Maybe making it a bit of a care package with a postcard, a knitting/spinning notion or two and some snacks?

I'm looking for: The same as I'm offering! We will make a list of the exact content of the package together :)

Send me a message if you're interested and located in the Netherlands (and what exactly you would be interested in!)!

seller was really nice, gave my friend and i a roll of kodachrome 64, and he gave me a free 28mm lens on top of the 50mm one on the camera now. i have a 210mm zoom lens for different camera for which i still need to find an adapter but i'm excited to start !

Finally took the time to set and ball my handspun! This is everything I've spun from around mid-February to now on my new favorite Schact 1oz drop spindle.

[eternally-wild]

just got a new to me sewing machine!! it's a bernina 533, she's a very light green/cream colour and sews REALLY FAST™

my first time using a knee handle(?) !! she weighs approximately 1 tonne so carrying her from the car that was parked far away to the house was....my poor arms ...

i'm so excited to sew on her aaa!! even though i was originally hoping to get an elna grasshopper model, or the supermatic, i'm still really happy and am sure i will love this machine too

[small-puddle-oceanographer]

I have a Bernina sport that has been handed down in the family for 3 generations, and I love it to death. So my hearty congrats on getting an old Bernina!

[eternally-wild]

thank you! do you happen to know if they're good with sewing pants? i want to eventually learn to make my own jeans and such, i'm not at that skill level yet but am curious about it (and an industrial juki is not within the budget or space availability anytime soon)

been a long time, but here's an update on the sardine sweater!! i'm about to cast off sleeve 1, but i'm so undecided on the beige. I can't make up my mind on whether it fits or not

definetly needs a mid project wash and block though

[eternally-wild]

update: i frogged back the beige in favour of some handdyed yarn i got in brussels a few months ago, next time bart and francis opens i'm going to get more undyed/white yarn

"Sys how is your decent into fiber arts hell going"

Glad you asked. I have arrived at 'modern flax is Bullshit compared to what we had in historical textiles, the flax widely available for handspinning is basically the tow that would be discarded from textile creation and used with tar to caulk ships back in the day'

This naturally led me down a hole of 'why is the staple length of this stuff a bullshit 6 inches' and the answer is 'we have bred modern flax more for the oil than the fiber because cotton usurped the place of everyday textile thanks to slavery and the cotton gin'

Anyway, THIS led me to a rabbit hole that culminated in me finding flax seed bred for proper 30 inch tall plants for fiber, sold by some fellow minded nerds on a website that has not been updated since 1998 and you have to email them to buy anything.

Anyway how are all of you doing.

[systlin]

I FAILED YOU ALL here is the site. You can also buy flax fiber from them. The PROPER shit, not the hot garbage ass tow fiber sold as flax top for handspinners.

I'll be growing my own flax this year in Belgium! The flax museum of Kortrijk is doing a project. You can register at the end of 2026 for next year's crop.

Also in Kortrijk, Bart & Francis designs yarns for fashion houses and sells their surplus in their stores once a month. Their site is a trip. They have flax.

(you should also look for linnen as well as linen, their site isn't built in English)

bart & francis' store is a yarn heaven, but don't mind the typos they have in 3 languages
