Lollll so I found a drop spindle that's ridiculously light and the description was like "very beginner friendly, great for heavier yarn" and I eyed it and went "no that's how you teach people to spin laceweight".

@kabrams was intrigued, explored the maker's shop, bought one, and is currently like "yeah, I have a new laceweight spindle". 🤣 (they say "maybe featherweight or threadweight, actually" so like. This spindle is *so light*.)

One thing I like about #spinning is that you can end up with colour combinations like this which cannot be achieved easily by dyeing after the yarn is spun @fiberarts @spinning #dropspinning #fiberarts #handspun

Bought a 3D printed spindle and some fibre from Cat And Sparrow Fibre, and spun up the packing fibre they wrapped the spindle in, for transport #spinning #spinningwool #dropspindle #dropspinning #turkishspindle #turkishdropspindle @fiberarts @spinning

With the ridiculous amount of fibre I bought from fibre fest, I realised I need to start #spinning or I'll never get through it all. The colour way is called Saguaro Blossom from Spinning Top Fibres #dropspinning #turkishspindle @fiberarts @spinning

Finally got my yarn washed and whacked. Handspun on Turkish spindles the fibre was from rolags made by Lisa at EleventyOne Windmills in her Cirrostratus Sunset and Aurora Australis colorways

I've realised I've been wrapping the base of my cops wrong, and this better way of wrapping results in a much more secure turtle #spinning #dropspinning #yarn #turkishdropspindle @fiberarts

It's taken me since Sept last year to finally get through 100g of this fibre. 100g roughly 300m of yarn.

I picked up some merino/bamboo/suri blend while at the Coastal Fibre pop up that replaced the FibreFest that got delayed. Used a new spindle, that I had put down because it didn't fit my usual process, but I think I've figured out how to use it now.

Adding to the #fiberarts tag because it's a little bare to me.
