Fiber Friday Vacationing brings out my creativity. I have been spinning lovely white and black Alpaca on a Castle wheel. It is all gone, so I need to card more. I am enjoying knitting my handspun white Alpaca with my handspun hand dyed two ply Alpaca with purchased lilac Alpaca. It is the Hatteras Hug design from last year. Heaven! I have been experimenting with making my own support spindle and finally made one I like and that spins well. It is two shells hot glued together with a hole drilled all the way through for a wood stick. I am spinning Noro pencil roving on it.
Excited to share this item from my #etsy shop: Hard Maple Support Spindle #russianspindle #supportspindle https://etsy.me/2YhDcjv https://www.instagram.com/p/CBOnJzBJ15v/?igshid=1jjtqmrjhtwam
Spindled Shawl Finally finished the shawl I began during my first Tour de Fleece! I started spinning on drop spindles and moved on to supported spindles. I plied the alpaca sliver and Noro pencil roving yarn on a turkish spindle. I steamed the shawl because none of the singles or plied yarn was steamed since I did not know to do it.
Support Spinning Getting ready to teach a class on spinning pencil roving with a support spindle. The spindle and bowl and the Noro Rainbow Roll pencil roving are all from the Blue Pelican in Hatteras, NC. Each kit has 1/2 oz of roving to spin. It is enough to make two ply yarn and then knit the shown Coaster. We plan to offer the class during Tour de Fleece.
Finished plying. Matchy matchy with my bed. #handspunyarn #handspindling #supportspindle #wool https://www.instagram.com/p/BoRwqJ8ne0o/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=smv4foxgm33e
