Spent some time spinning outside today, hopefully the wool will absorb some of the last of the summer warmth and hold onto it to make some super cozy winter socks :3

All my handspun plying balls, waiting for me to be in a spindle plying mood.

homespun cape🐑 . . 羊の布を作られているプチトリコさん @peti_tricot より 世界でたった一枚しかない貴重なホームスパンの布を託していただいて 羊のケープコートを仕立てました 羊毛を洗って紡いで糸にして 手織りして服地に整えるまで それはもうたくさんの時間と労力が注がれた布です 鋏を入れる時は震えるほどに緊張しました 服というかたちにする工程に関わらせていただいたこと 貴重な経験をさせていただいて とてもありがたく幸せに思います ご縁を繋いでくれたつくり手仲間にも心から感謝です🤝 #Repost @peti_tricot with @use.repost ・・・ 🐑羊のケープコート この服地は初めて作ったもので 清野工房で教えていただいて 完成した思い出の詰まった1枚です🥲 そんな思い入れもあって お仕立ては、きっとご縁が あるはずと待ち続けて デザイン、布選び、お仕立て、 全てお1人で服づくりを されているNOKAさんとの 出会いでやっと完成しました。 @noka.handcraftedclothing イレギュラーなお願いながら 受けていただき本当に感謝です。 NOKAさんとの出会いは 作家の友人の繋がりで偶然 お会いできたところから。 繋いでくれたご縁て本当に 尊いなあと最近しみじみ 感じています。 この羊の布から決めた形は ケープコート。布地を見て NOKAさんがぴったりの 提案をしてくれました。 ホームスパン(手紡ぎ手織りの布) の服地は近年のコート生地と 比べると少し重みはありますが 羽織ると不思議と軽く感じます。 袖の動きに合わせて布の動きが 楽しめるケープコート。 自然な布の動きを大事に仕立てて いただいて動くたびに浮かぶ ドレープもゆったりと心地よいです。 前と袖のボタンは自作のものを 使っていただきました。 このケープコートのかたちは NOKAさんの新作で、 また違った布の表情も 楽しみです。 オーダー会の情報は下記 NOKAさんのインスタでぜひ。 私の個人的なおすすめは 襟の立ち上がりのちょっと キリッとしたところです。 歳を重ねるごとに、 合わせる楽しさを感じられる ような大切な1着になりました。 もし、これから服の選び方も さらに深まる時代へ進んだら ホームスパンの布も お仕立て候補の1枚として 在るといいなと、 小さな願いもうかびました。 ・ ・ @noka.handcraftedclothing @gonbennihitsuzi #noka #清野工房 #cheviot #shetland #corriedale #sheep #wool #homespun #handspun #handweaving https://www.instagram.com/p/CpjMqH-vVg8/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

From teeny tiny tops blended on a hair comb to a deliciously fluffy woodland themed yarn! Approximately 100g corriedale. The minty colour in it is slightly greener in real life; what can ya do...

Progress on my Corrie Hap!Yesterday was a great knitting day. I am about halfway through the border and loving the colour combination in the stripes. Knit with #falklandcorriedale from the first box of the #beyondmerinoyarnclub hosted by @sweetpaprikadesigns and @smallbirdworkshop #shetlandlace #shetlandhapshawl #shawl #shawlknittersofinstagram #triangleshawl #stripes #borderstripes #designer #designersofinstagram #letissierdesigns #knittingwithwool #knittersofinstagram #wool #wooladdict #corriedale (at Nanaimo, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpaoK-4JUAe/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

'Morning!!

[dreamsinombre]

Warming up & getting excited for Tour de Fleece next month ✨ with team Camp Wooligan

Another superbly skilled spinner kindly suggested I try out the Corriedale I have waiting in my fiber stash instead of diving back into commercially dyed merino and merino blends (I treasure the undyed fibers I have more and wanted to do them more justice), and I am SO glad I followed their wise advice as I practiced practicing on these little ~2oz samples. I immediately could see why they recommended the corrie and also why BFL is often recommended for beginners as well: I felt like I was doing something close to right.

I have one more sample to get to once I empty at least one of these bobbins, and then all that's left is trying to contain my excitement and hold back on spinning until Tour de Fleece officially starts!

And the final plied results from brushing off the heavy coat of rust off my spinning and doing some samples of the breeds I currently have.

Not anywhere near the weight I eventually want to be able to ply to, but a small step closer, and a small step closer toward consistent, as well. It was fascinating seeing how each wool gave me a different experience, and how much each of the plied yarns bloomed after a soak.

I really enjoyed my first foray into feeling and seeing the differences in working with different types of wool, and I've got a bunch more on the way to sample for Tour de Fleece next month.

🤎 Correidale, ~1.8oz, ~30y

🤍 Cheviot, ~2.1oz, ~32y

🩶 Bluefaced Leicester, ~2.1oz, ~31y

🧡 Shetland (broken top), ~2oz, ~43y

All fiber from Blue Moon Alpacas (shop | IG) and spun on my one and only Lendeum double treadle.

I also have been knitting a lot of cardigans and sweaters this past spring, and hopefully will muster the gumption to block them & weave in all their ends to take some photos to share.

came home with a bagful of this cheviot to play around with, plus a bag of romney and a bag of black faced suffolk. i think i have enough to make a pair of socks from each to see how they all wear !

the knitting world owes so much to the himalayas and its people. birthplace of angora goats and mohair yarn. of kashmir goats and cashmere yarn. reason for so many soft knitted projects. saviour of my autism

[disgruntled-lifeform]

Spinning some of my dot dyed corriedale from that workshop and I think it looks pretty great!

[affreca]

Finally finished and photographed my spindle Corriedale yarns. The top row is the tutti fruitti colors, while the bottom are select colors of the galaxy range. I'm now starting the greys of the weather range. All spun on my Golding mini and plied on my mjolnir spindle.

I was looking for online flash cards of sheep breeds and ended up with a “what breed of sheep are you” quiz so uh. Thought it might be fun for fiber nerds to participate in? Say what breed you got and whether you agree in the tags!

Oh, the euphoria of a new skill...I’m finally starting to get the hang of spinning and I get such a thrill of happiness thinking about it. I’m looking over at my little spindle and the single I wound last night to ply today and I’m thinking “I made that! Me!”

It’s such a nice feeling, especially because I kinda resented spinning a few skeins ago because it was really hard and my yarn was so wonky until somehow something just clicked in how I was holding it and now I have so much more control than I used to.
