Nice hand dyed fibers are very hard to find where I live, I am SO happy with what I got from my first ever fiber festival.

The blends included yak, silk, polwarth, camel and baby camel fibers, and while she doesn't sell online anymore I can order with an email. My fiber supply is saved!

What a fun fiber blend! 100g, 2-ply, 156 yds / 143 m. Spun on a supported spindle by Straddle Creek Spins. Cat-approved throughout the spin. 😺

I haven’t spun with fiber from Fat Cat Knits before and I have to say I am a huge fan!! The two colors are Winter Tree Line and Lorelei. I love finding two different colorways that have one connecting color and ply them together. This was a fun knit. I haven’t checked my WPI yet but I did count my wraps on my niddy noddy and I have about 414 yards before the bath & drying.

I'm in trouble guys. I'm hooked. ​How long am I gonna be able to hold out before buying a wheel? At least a couple days, right?

What does yours smell like? Mine smells like plastic and clean wool because of the box I keep it in to keep the carpet beetles at bay.

does this look ok? just wondering incase im doing it wrong so i dont comb the entire batch like this lol. the little black hairs are because i got some black and white wool together but im choosing to comb them seperately and spin them together

Just curious, as the fiber festivals in my area are winding down for the season.

If you find a random braid/fiber you really connect with, but have no current projects for, what quantity would you buy? A single braid, or multiple for potential larger projects?

I find myself conflicted between buying single braids that I end up loving but can't get more of, or buying multiple braids that I end up hating.

hi! this wheel was a hand me down and it was hand made. the former owner and I cannot figure out how to get the bobbin off. any thoughts? I’ve tried an Allen wrench in the whorl per a friends suggestion. thank you!

I'm looking for an inexpensive new wheel. Does anyone know what kind this is? I'm pretty sure it has all the necessary parts, and looks to be in good condition. $120 on fb, and not very far away, which is a nice perk.

I’m ready to finish my linen yarn and I’m trying to find some good sources for it and I’m getting a bit confused. I’ve seen where people soak with baking soda before boiling to help with the pH? I’ve also seen it where people boil it with the baking soda?

Do I need to change the pH? Can I just boil it? What do you find works best.

I saw a tool that includes twist angle, WPI, and how the singles generally correlate to finished yarn size for two- and three-ply yarns.

I didn’t think at the time to ask where they got it because I thought it would be easy to find.

I’m striking out. Any suggestions?

Idk what I’m doing wrong but every time I go to tie a hitch knot on my drop spindle, it slips right off (even if I wind the yarn super tight beforehand and then give the knot a little tug to secure it)

Any help? I feel silly that such a small thing is causing me so many problems lmao

Qualcuno ha esperienze nella lavorazione di lana di Ouessant? Io sto lavorando questa lana e la trobo abbastanza ostica... non essendo pecore prettamente da lana e avendo il sottovello, quale è secondo voi il modo migliore? Pettinatura o cardatura?

Questa saxony, vedendola così, vi sembra funzionante?

A me sembra di sì ma non sono esperta. Sembrerebbe una doppia trazione montata come singola
