Very important twitter poll. Links to patterns are in the twitter thread. Thanks for chiming in!

I totally missed the boat on tour de fleece because I created a huge tangle in the last finished spin I made and it took me four days to untangle it. Also I have a job... I'm not sure what to spin any more because I bought this amazing 430g of natural brown NZ wool that I want to start for a sweater quantity (which will take a year because I only own spindles) but I also have this Countess Ablaze blend I never finished that just doesn't feel as nice as the BFL I was just working with... And I have a Skein club silk/merino blend that I've been dying to spin, too... Help

The worst depiction of knitting I have ever seen in my life, out of one of our textbooks.

I’m not sure if it’s just because of the staple length but I can spin BFL so much thinner than Merino. One of the many reasons it’s my favorite. :) This is my between-class project for today. #毛糸 #spinnersofinstagram #spinning #spinstagram #clawtreefibers

Happy #FOFriday!

From the same Loop! batt (Bright Light, 100% Merino) I made two skeins of handspun.

Attention American Seamsters

HANCOCK FABRIC IS CLOSING DOWN. For good. Forever. It sucks.

As a result, they are liquidating their products and selling everything for 20%-50% off. The discounts apply to everything, from thread to dress forms to sewing machines, so if you’ve been longing for some sewing supplies that are just out of your price range, now’s your chance to get them. (I particularly recommend the Sew Perfect dress forms; they’re easy to adjust and very accurate.)

Please signal boost this! I know the sewing community on tumblr isn’t super tight, but I’d hate for any of my fellow seamsters to miss out on a good deal!
