I am finishing up plying this handspun and hand dyed Rambouillet and Tussah Silk September colorway. I also added a touch of angelina sparkle and blue faced Leicester locks to this blended batt I created. So pretty. Enjoy the rest of your weekend 💜💙💚. #spinning #handdyedyarn #handdyed #handdyeing #rambouillet #tussahsilk #bluefacedleicester #fiber #rachelmpost #handspun #spinnersofinstagram #handspunyarn #igspinners #spinolution #yarnstagram #indieyarn #handspinnersofinstagram #cherryvalleyca #rhlwool https://www.instagram.com/p/CbBxeYYrrie/?utm_medium=tumblr

Vonatoskötős Családi kiruccanás, végre nem én vezetek, így tudok kötni! 😁 A BFL gyapjú szöszt @dodekadyeworks festette, én megfontam és most finom meleg zoknit kötök belőle.

The BFL I was spinning is finally done! I started this back in August on a turkish spindle I'd made at about the same time. Spun from the fold. It's a cardband I bought from Limmo. I wasn't a huge fan of it. It's fine, just not my favorite wool to spin. Maybe if I'd prepped it myself from the fleece. Further experimentation is required to find out. It is dang pretty though. It has a sheen to it that doesn't get captured by the photo. Not like the gotland or even the finewool, more like dull silk? Idk. And the sample yarn I spun for starters are just so bouncy and super nice. So I'm looking forward to knitting with it. #bfl #bluefacedleicester #wool #spinningwool #spinnersofinstagram #spinning #spindlespinning https://www.instagram.com/p/CZu4EAZIk0a/?utm_medium=tumblr

I've been busily wielding my beloved staple gun this afternoon, mounting some of my hand woven wandering thread art pieces. They're looking so good! I'm especially loving the neons against my handspun #BlueFacedLeicester yarn. 🥰🥰🥰 . . . . . . #loomlife #weaversofig #textiledesign #textiledesigner #ThunderbugTextiles #handwoven #handmade #handspun #sparkle #neon #BFL #HandwovenArt #DesirePaths #WanderingThread https://www.instagram.com/p/CQJYfXLnTlN/?utm_medium=tumblr

🐑 (Shown: Brown Blue Faced Leicester Combed Top *available on our website*) I spent the morning away from my knitting needles to give some love this amazing Blue Faced Leicester Combed Top (one of the natural fibers we offer on our website) and my @hansencraftsminispinner. I’m working on a new heirloom project spin that will feature 3 fiber breeds we stockin our shop. I’m spinning for the “Lovelicious Hap” by @happyknittingsheep. I will be spinning fairly thin singles that will then be chain plied into a sport weight yarn. #spinnersofinstagram #spinnersofig #handspinning #handspinnersofinstagram #handspunyarn #handspun #handspunstagram #handspunwool #bluefacedleicester #bfl #fiber #spinner #spinningwheel #spinningfiber #hansenminispinner #hansenminispinners #hansenminispinnerpro https://www.instagram.com/p/CE9YXu-BcBk/?igshid=2qpcsu3vl2rp

Guess who's drafting skills are improving!!! . . My trusty Little Si #dropspindle is getting the other half of the #bluefacedleicester (I think) roving from @horsenround7 much thinner than my prior attempts! https://www.instagram.com/p/B0V9nBVp1HP/?igshid=v03yfaerm9nu

I love how the colours come out differently on each base - this is magical (which is usually quite subtle) on 100% Bluefaced Leicester 4ply looking not subtle at all and totally spectacular! #woollygoodnessyarns #magicalcolourway #bluefacedleicester #sockyarn #yarn #prettyyarn #handdyedyarn #indiedyedyarn #indiedyer #imarealknitter #imarealdyer #indiedyer #stitchmarkers #knittersofinstagram #etsy #uketsyshop #etsyyarnseller #crochetersofinstagram #igknitter #igyarn #yarnaddict #yarnaddiction #igyarn #stashenhancement #yarnstagram #linktoshopinprofile https://www.instagram.com/p/Bs8TiVFlMlX/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1jf4wsbcthgnr

🇮🇹 La #BluefacedLeicester è una razza di pecora di origine inglese conosciuta e allevata principalmente per la loro carne anche se la fibra che producono, molto lunga e riccia, è ben voluta dalle appassionate di filatura a mano. 🐑 Non hanno realmente il muso blu, ma una peluria bianca che le ricopre il volto nero la quale, esposta alla luce, dà riflessi bluastri. ☀️ Il filato prodotto con questi velli può essere usato, virtualmente, per qualsiasi cosa, dal paio di calzini alla maglia, agli scialli, e, come si può notare su Calypso, acquisisce magnificamente la tintura, specialmente se completamente naturale. 🌈 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 🇬🇧 Bluefaced Leicester is a variety of wool made from the British sheep of the same name. Given that began primarily to improve the meat production of the Longwool sheep, it is surprising that it also produces a good fleece for making into yarn, considered “long-staple” wool.🐑 The reason why this sheep is called Blufaced is because its face appears to have a blue tint due to the dark skin underneath the short white hair.☀️ The yarn made from this fleece can be used almost in every kind of project, from socks to sweaters to shawls and, as you can see on Calypso, it magically capture the tint, especially if it is completely #natural. 🌈 🌿naturally dyed yarn 🌳plastic free yarns 📦world wide shipping #colorinaturaliyarns #garn #hilo #yarnlovers #naturalyarn #knitknitknit #strikkedilla #tricoteuse #tricotinaddict #yarnporn #striking #crochetinspiration #knittinglove #naturallydyed #naturaldye #knityourstyle #knittingismyyoga #coronayarnfestival #lavoroamaglia #lavoroartigianale #handdyedyarn (presso Italy) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIiHi7-JA_Y/?igshid=m1vw3kivnq7a
