So... I have barely any weaving experience and never did double weaving, at all...

So the only logical thing to do, is to double wave a colorful warp, that I really have to concentrate on, with hand spun yarn, that I worked my ass of for... before my first nightshift... I'm Shure that'll work out fine

Also look at these two yarn chickens!

I mean, I don't need more fibre ... or another project bag ...

Washed some yarns yesterday

Had a day off yesterday (yaay!) so I was productive, did a bit of cleaning and stuff and I washed/steamed some yarns I spun up lately.

from left to right:

-BFL "verrucht" from "Frau Wöllfchen, supported spindle, traditional 3 ply as planned 240m/ca120g, will probably become a nalbinding project - Polwarth/llama/Tussah silk (1/3 each) "Wetterleuchten" from Echt Michele, Wheel spun, ca 430m/230g, chain plied, idk what for - Another Merino/baby camel/milk protein from stefiswolle, supported spindle, haven't counted length or weight for a crochet summer cardigan - another braid of "Moonlight shadow" by Regenbogenwolle, (Merino Superwash (60%)/ Silk (20%)/hemp(20%). Still a WIP ply on the fly on the drop spindle. This is about half the braid.

I absolutely notices I have the most control on the twist on the drop spindle. Problem: I don't like spindle plying. The Ply on the fly is okay but not 100g...

Also I continued my shawl yesterday while watching documentaries about the Maya culture. Did a full pattern repeat since I picked it up again last week! And had another colour change, the first black appears!

ok, i finally caved and went to look at regenbogenwolle, just to see, and even my crappy german is good enough to discover that they don't ship to australia 😭

My current spinning project. Dyed faux cashmere from Regenbogenwolle. I was originally worried about it being too slippery, but it drafts beautifully. And it’s delightfully soft.

[leiyahime]

finally found the time and energy to gather all my spindles in one place. Let me introduce them to you:

I found the ingredients for this drop spindle - and yes, I've dropped it a few times already...) at a local craft store and made them into my first ever spindles. There are two of these. The yarn is my first try of the "spin-and-chain-ply at the same time" experiment.

Top-whorl spindle from holz-enttäuscht-nie got them (yes there are also two) at the wollefest in Leipzig. Love them to death, although I also dropped this one on hard floor T^T

my newest addit(c)tion, the (emotional) support spindle "mermaid" from regenbogenwolle it's great and I want mor supported spindles

Aaaaand a group picture. The bigger drop spindles are also self-made. I intended to use them for plying but i hate spindle plying so they spend their life in a box.

Looking to buy some pretty spindles to help fuel my newest addiction!

Show me your favs and where you got them :3

Tour de Fleece is’!

Auch dieses Jahr gilt wieder “spinn, soviel du kannst!”, weil nix befriedigender ist als Stash-Abbau.

Zu meiner großen Verblüffung hab ich hauptsächlich Kammzüge aus Einzelfasern, und außerdem recht wenig Schafwolle dabei.

Der türkise Kammzug ganz vorne ist 100% handgefärbtes Alpaka;

links dahinter das März-Abo 2018 von der Regenbogenwolle, Waldspaziergang, mit 60% Jakobsschaf, 20% Milchseide und 20% Bambus;

rechts daneben 100% handgefärbte Tussahseide;

dahinter 100% ungefärbtes Babykamel, dieses Jahr sozusagen mein Rolls-Royce unter den Kammzügen;

und ganz hinten links ein Pencil Roving von der Regenbogenwolle, Ireland, aus 100% Merino

Sind in Summe 600 Gramm, das sollte eigentlich machbar sein :)

Look!!!

All used up!

Now I only have the scraps over that I cut from the fringe

Now back to some spinning (the rolag I got with the calendar)

This is probably the thinnest I have ever spun, every time I'm scarred the thread will rip 😬

Extra pic of the mittens

Omnomnomnom

I love this. I want to play with it for days and sort it Into different gradients, and color groups or from favorite to least favorite AAAAAAAAA why is this so beautiful 😭😭😭

257 turns around my Niddy Noddy

Roughly 460 meter

Day three. Went a bit thinner with the singles, to get more meters out of it

All three days together

[comfortabletextiles]

Day 24. The last day. Kind of sad. Like finishing a good book, but also exited to see everything together and to weave with it.

And there was a candle too! With smell, not my usual choice but it's pretty, and I kind of want to see how it burns? But my spouse and me are both sensible to candle smells, also what of the cat reacts badly... Maybe on the balcony 🤔

[comfortabletextiles]

12 days are done!! It is so pretty 😭

Also need to ply the warp now, I had hope that I can get all 24 days on that... Welp 😅🤣

[comfortabletextiles]

I made a hat with some of the weaving yarn that is over!

Also some flash for more accurate colors!

The free pattern:

It is a bit to small for my taste (definitely not Barett like... Not even after blocking) but it's over my ears, and in the end, that is all that counts 😌)

I also started a pair of flop mittens, with the rest. Soon I'll have the whole set 😈

The pattern I use :
