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

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.

'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!

Love 2 spin so much that my fingertips start buzzing

This looks superb. Good luck!

Spinning has been on my to-learn list of fiber crafts for awhile now. I got a drop spindle as a Christmas gift a couple years ago and just didn’t make progress teaching myself. This summer I finally got the spindle back out and took a class from my local yarn store. Suddenly, things started to click! I’m trying to spend 15 or so minutes a day with it to get my hands used to the movements. Fiber is Corriedale wool, which was provided by the class. Once I use this up I’m going to try plying it!

Days 1-3 of Tour de Fleece:

Day One (saturday june 29): spinning up the whole rest of the dark brown corriedale—

Felt really good about these! I was aiming to try and spin my singles about fingering weight. I don't have a spinning tool guide (yet) so I eyeballed it. Consistency is improving, though there is still much room to grow. I did these practicing short backward draw.

Day Two (sunday june 30): plying

2-ply of two of the finished singles, pre-washing. Turned out a much heavier weight than I was anticipating; it seems to be about a bulky weight. That's still okay! It's the first fiber I am tackling and I have much to learn and practice. This is still a very usable yarn.

Day Three (monday july 1): plying & spinning the cheviot!

Sat outside in the pleasantly surprising cool day and plied up the remaining two bobbins of the corriedale. This turned out even more consistent-looking than the first, and remains about the same weight, which means I have no worries about using them both in the same project.

All in total, about 12oz of fiber spun into 341y of 2-ply yarn (pre-washing).

Started tackling the 14oz I have remaining of the cheviot. Still practicing short backward draw. I intentionally slowed down as I went into this and really focused on spinning this one finer and with even more consistency. I am really pleased with how this one is coming out.

I got through 1 2/3 bobbins, or just over 5oz of fiber.
