Have run out of handdyed braids to spin, back to making batts.

A few days ago I taught the last session of my class Color Blending and Spinning Gradient Yarns to a delightful, creative, thoughtful group of students. Isn't their work amazing?

This is one of the 50g braids of handdyed fibre I bought a while ago for a quick spin. This one is a very skinny single.

Haven’t posted my spinning lately. Still on the same rolag, and love how much easier the drafting is going. Unknown fiber as it was gifted to me.

I’m really enjoying this!

Dye experiment from a while ago I never posted. It's gulf coast native wool so I tried to dye it to look like the ocean on the gulf coast. Turned out pretty good I think

Happily spinning away on my IST turkish spindle. It's a joy to use, heavy enough to start with so that it spins beautifully at the beginning. #turkishspindle #handspinning #spinning #spinningandfiberprep

Scrappy batt. Used up leftovers from other batts.

Made a cake for plying, not my best cake but it'll do.

I wanted to get a bit of exercise, but I can't not be fiber crafting... so I was the weird person doing both

When one needs a quick spin and only has random blends. . . . Time for art yarn.

Had a really hard meeting, so treated myself to some fluff. Found a new seller on etsy.

So much handspun embroidery thread! I did 2 ounces this time and it made alot more then I thought it would! This is now washed and hanging to dry, then it will be divided up and dyed.

Finally plying an epic spin. It's only 4 ounces of fiber, but it's been a stop and go situation over a couple years. Turns out spindle spinning is a great fidget while watching Handmaids Tale 😬. Fiber is ShirstyCat Merino / Nylon 🌈 Glitz

I spun a fine single and didn't want to cake it, so wound it on to a spare turkish spindle. Might ply it with something. #handspunyarn #spinningandfiberprep #turkishspindle

I've also been trying some acid dyes and I managed not to felt this rambouillet. I steam set it this time so it stayed fluffy. I've still got some white spots but I think it will look nice when spun.

Dyeing results from yesterday! I really like how the yarn turned out, the silk is a really pretty rose gold pink and the wool is a red- fuschia. I'm going to overdye half of it with osage to see what I get.
