What am I doing for the start of Pride month? Lesbians.

I've got 4 skeins to be spun and this is the first one, spun but not plyed.

Got bored and messed around, found out natural henna powder when made into a thin soupy consistency is AMAZING at dying/staining wool!! I assumed it would do *something* because it dyes skin and hair so well, but I didn't expect such a vibrant color so quickly! I don't know how well it'll last or anything since I'm just getting into fiber arts/textile arts, but like look at this color😍 This is JUST raw (washed) wool dipped into the 'liquid' for all of maybe 10 minutes and rinsed, no mordant or anything of the sort. Needless to say I think the experiment is a success lmao

Made a big weird thing of yarn with a drop spindle and a collection of miscellaneous fibers and tiny pieces of scrap yarn harvested from the crafting rooms and supply closets of friends. There’s some wild textures and color combinations in there and I plan to make even more and then have one of my friends attempt to knit with it. I can’t wait to see how much it sucks and in which ways.

Today I tried out making some yarn out of plastic bags. This is two bags' worth, which I'm gonna try crocheting with to make baskets or maybe dish scrubbers. We'll see how it works out!
