This week #showmeyourknits is all about #chunky
I don't often knit chunky, other than with my handspun yarn.
This yarn is a handspun 2ply and is a blend of Alpaca, Merino d'Arles & Polwarth wool.
Pattern is Capucine by Adela Illichmanova.

Not pretty, but definitely less of a disaster than my first attempt

#showmeyourknits this week is bulky/chunky. This sweater started out as a raw Shetland fleece. I scoured the fleece, carded batts, and spun from the fold to create enormous fluffy yarn that I used to create this lofty, warm cardigan. I love it!

New project for #WiPWedneaday: Helloween Hat!

Handspun yarns by me & Lynn Wigell/Yarnwench from the 2006 Buggin’ Out swap hosted by Linda Scharf/The Yarn Museum

Who remembers my BombBits artyarn spinning kits? 20 years I’ve been hanging on to these; think I can make a FO by Halloween? 👻🧶 #Knitsky

I think the Honeycomb Blanket will be a great unifying framework for your many colors of "ancient handspun."
Keep us posted on your progress. 🧶

Great visit to Castle Howard Arboretum today. Much needed immersion in nature. Also great inspiration for some new handspun art yarn, might be busy this week!

I'm glad to see you are using your first handspun yarns. It looks like it has charm and character. It will likely make a cozy blanket, even if it's not how you would spin now.

Finished another woven scarf from handspun yarn :D

Plus if I cling to this philosophy I can indulge my broken mind about creating more and more compounding tables for the purposes of pushing the risk of full replication even deeper into the exponentials.

That does my brain in well. The vastness of what might inspire, born in handspun happenstance.

Art yarn mini skeins with beehive coils are some of my favourites to spin. These are merino with added viscose nepps, and have a slightly tweedy appearance and texture. Great as accent yarns in knitting or weaving projects.

Today’s WIP, 28 October 2026: more singles of my Finn wool top on my EEW Nano 2.1. I’m hoping for a DK-weight 3-ply once I’m done.

I revitalized my fiber business. Right now I am trying to destash yarn (adding more, destash weaving yarn (about 100 more colored cotton cones) and BLOGS. In the next few months there will be more hand-wove, lots of handspun yarn, AND eventually washed, carded fiber! www.dakotadesigns.net

I managed to wash and photo these recent FOs in time for hat week on #showmeyourknits

The first is a helix hat using leftovers, the orange one is a Thorpe made from my handspun, and the sheep hat was made entirely on my LK150 knitting machine.
All are headed to Pine Ridge Reservation!

dragged my feet a little finishing these skeins up but they're done and ready for swatching. that's about a third of the fiber, I'm going to try to get more done before I start the sweater properly.

Handspun yarn demands a hand-wound ball. Preparing to do the most disgustingly "kitchen table polyamory" thing I've ever done.

finally finished knitting + weaving in the ends + blocking the partial handspun cardigan project I'd been planning/working on this entire year 🥺 a big milestone...there's still the buttons but I can't believe it's done (also I forgot to take pics so I have to wait for it to dry)

spooky spin is starting out sooo good. Got my tension locked in almost immediately! 👏

Lately my spinning tension has been WAY too high bc Idk I suddenly forgot how to dial in. Post-flu brain fog maybe. But anyway, not the case now. Look how cute 💚

Me too!! They are so satisfying to knit into this. I fiddle a bit with them so each of them goes on the outside, but it's not difficult.
May have found a way to use my own handspun art yarn ^^
