A terrific "deadstock" yarn and notions resource... High end fashion industry overage, mostly from Italy. Some gorgeous options here, and fun buttons too!!
NEW! To me, anyway... from the FutureFiber channel on #YouTube. Soooo funny! And clever. Are you in the chicken nugget at 3am quadrant of summer? Find out here!... "An unhinged summer knitting review."
Did a serious amount of #wool#carding this weekend. Actually the processing before carding, to get soms decent floof out of a washed raw fleece using a flick brush, is most of the work. Making something out of raw fleece is so much work that you start really appreciating division of labour for production of most of the things you use in everyday life. At the same time it is fun to go through the whole process. @handspinning#handspinning.
🐕🦺🐕🦺🐕🦺 Don't miss the wonderful tale <heh heh> of Wally, the rescued Tibetan mastiff, especially part 2/3rd way through when she removes Wally's pelt. Incredible!!
I wonder if it's the same for sheep, alpacas, llamas, goats, etc. What a great dog!
Yesterday I started knitting again after years of not knitting a single stitch. I forgot how much I love it. 😁🧶
All the stitches came back to me as soon as I picked the needles up again. I didn't have to look up how to do any of it, I guess it must be muscle memory. 👀 :knitting: :ablobcatknitsweats:
This is me spinning some tussah silk on my espinner. Isn't it gorgeous?! It reminds me of the picture of that glossy horse that looks like spun sugar. #spinning#handspinning#handmade#handcraft
🧶 It's done! Yarn re-skeined on swift from ball I wound months ago, washed in Eucalan, dried thoroughly (it fluffed up, so nice!), re-wound just now into a ball.
Join me for Romi Hill's #MKAL - "Way Leads On To Way!" Starts this coming Friday, April 26th.

I’m looking for fediverse accounts to follow for inspiration in my new leisure interest: #knitting#socks. I’ve made two pairs so far and am looking for help and style variations, as well as tips to improve my technique.
@ellane Here are a whole bunch of hashtags to check out. Not all relevant to socks but all are fiber arts related. Welcome to this wild and woolly world!
I filled up a bobbin for the first time! This one is some BFL I am pretty sure I bought when I still lived in TX. (So, old) woo! #handspinning#spinning
A small collection of my handspun yarn, wool or wool blended with silk or alpaca. The gold was dyed with onion skins, and the rust was dyed with sandalwood. The rest are synthetic dyes.
@spinning Last night’s 100g finished and plied. This is “Singer” from Hilltop Cloud. I can’t remember the blend but there was something a bit toothy in it.#spinning#fibre#handspun#handspinning
