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

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.

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 doing Spindle Bingo over on IG so if any of you are interested it would be great to see you join. I might do some light spindle bingo posting here but it will be mostly over there

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.
