Picture of a rainbow Turkish spindle with partly spun fiber roving on it which is nestled next to 3 mini skeins of handspun yarn to the right. From top to bottom the 3 mini skeins came from a gradient art batt- the colors are a vibrant purple with white specks, middle skein is darker purple mix with dark & light grey & the bottom skein is mostly grey/white with black specks of fiber. Picture of a two piles of fiber roving side by side with a hand partly in frame wearing peridot ring. These are the in progress fiber being spun in the first photo. The one on the left with the tag that reads 'Orchid Garden' is a medley of purples with a hint of green. The one on the right with the label 'Peridot' and is a vibrant bright green with a few small hints of darker & lighter green fiber.

Some recent views of where my work has taken me. Transfering leftover singles onto a #turkishspindle, a view of a friends #handspun shag, and a pile of vintage tools and #spinningwheel parts. #sloppyartnotaislop #pacifictextilearts #textiles

Picture of a rainbow Turkish spindle with partly spun fiber on it that is nestled next to 3 mini skeins of handspun yarn & on the right side of the photo is an orange cat taking a nap. From left to right the 3 mini skeins came from a gradient art batt- the colors are pale blue & white, middle skein is more blues with a little less white & the next is blues with dark purple. Picture of a fiber art batt. Its a gradient of fiber starting from the bottom is white into grey then into purple. And sprinkled over the batt are bits of like white & black fiber fluffs across the whole gradient.

Waiting at the airport = spinning 🙃

This medium sized spindle is my favourite for all purpose spinning, and it’s the perfect size for bringing on trips. It is called Persian in my shop.

Lily fell asleep in my lap while I was working at my desk, now I am stuck and the only thing close to hand is my Turkish spindle and some fibre. So I’m spinning while waiting for Lily to wake up 😻

Found this forgotten spinning project while unpacking, I guess that’s one of the perks of moving 😆

The amigurumi cat project is in time out. So I switched to an ongoing spindle project. Polworth and Silk, I think. I'm aiming for a 3-ply bulky yarn. Tho it'll probably be more of an Aran weight. Probably going to be a cardigan?

Mein neues Spindelprojekt. Ich spinne auf meiner kleinsten Kreuzspindel (~10g) und das relativ fein. Ein langsames Projekt mit Ansage.

There is a difference in the thickness of the single thread depending on the fibres used. Usually I let the wool decide how thick it want to become. I hope you can see what I am trying to say #turkishspindle #handspinnersofblueskysocial

#fibermonday Part 2 Even though that I love my #turkishspindle due to its capacity to be brought everywhere I do also love my #medievalspindles because I can switch between whorls and that’s really handy
