Still making progress on my breed sampling for #spindleBingo2026 over on IG. So far I have got singles ready to ply of Suffolk (lighter grey) and Gotland (darker grey, middle). On the right, in progress spin of Wensleydale which won my “which one next” poll. I like it - it’s beautiful, spins lovely fine, and is easier to spin than the slipper Gotland. #handspinning #spindleposting #fiberarts

Spinning from Turkish spindle. 2 small balls of lighter  grey singles (Suffolk); middle, darker gray balls slightly less fuzzy (Gotland). On the Turkish spindle, white fiber - and next to it, fiber waiting to be spun. Wensleydale - shiny, long fibers!

People requested #spindleBingo2026 cross-posting! I did Spinning Math yesterday on two recently completed spins - my Advent spin and a spinalong I did with @Pufferfish and friends with La Mercerie YoF September Reverie from Witch Fire Fibers.

Advent Spin

12-14 WPI
Plied twist ~60 deg

September Reverie - my first successful attempt at chunky
98 yds and 107g (92 yds per 100g)
~6-7 WPI
Plied twist angle ~45 (3-ply)

I'm back! Our Mastodon server was down for maintenance for the last couple of weeks, so I couldn't post over the holidays.

Happy #NewYear! ✨🎇🎆

I finished the purple #handspun yarn. It's 196 yards! 🥳 I did manage DK weight.

I'm working on #HandSpinning its sister #yarn now.

Did you do any #FiberArts over the holidays?

I'm trying to spin DK or smaller. This is my first try on the high speed whorl.
