  1. #RiverheadNY - Long Island #FleeceAndFiber Fair at #Hallockville #MuseumFarm

    May 16 @ 10:00 am – 5:00 pm

    Hallockville Museum Farm
    6038 Sound Avenue
    Riverhead NY

    Admission is $10 for adults; children 12 and under are free.

    "Hallockville Museum Farm will host its annual Long Island Fleece & Fiber Festival on Saturday, May 16, 2026, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. inviting visitors to experience the full journey of fiber – from raw fleece to finished textile — at its historic North Fork campus.

    "A longtime spring tradition, the festival brings the cycle of fiber to life through live sheep and llama shearing with Long Island Yarn and Farm, #spinning, and #weaving demonstrations, along with a #marketplace featuring more than two dozen regional #FiberArtists and #Artisans.

    "A major highlight this year is the appearance of nationally recognized #knitting expert Patty Lyons, who will lead two special sessions focused on practical techniques and problem solving for knitters. Additional hands-on workshops include an introduction to weaving with the #PaumanokWeavers, where participants can create their own scarf; a flat #NeedleFelted farm landscape workshop led by Shamma Murphy; and #BasketWeaving with Barbara Blossey-Chuvalas using #NaturalMaterials such as #silk, #seagrass, and #wool. Advance registration is required for workshops.

    "In addition to demonstrations and workshops, visitors can explore a variety of family-friendly activities, including a children’s #craft area, agricultural displays, and opportunities to meet the farm’s animals. Attendees are welcome to bring their #FiberArts projects to work amongst like-minded creators.

    " 'The Fleece & Fiber Festival connects people directly to the traditions that shaped life on the #NorthFork,' said Executive Director Heather Johnson. 'It’s a chance to see, touch, and learn skills that were once part of everyday life here and that continue to inspire #makers today.'

    "The festival also features live music by the Old Time Jam, local food vendors, and a bake sale hosted by Hallockville Bakers."

    Thread about Tunis sheep wool

    I've been trying to catch up on some spinning (I think I have the equivalent of a small herd of sheep fleeces under my bed) so I started with a 4 lb Tunis fleece I bought from Foxdale Springs Farm in the Shave 'em to Save 'em program. To those unfamiliar, this program is an effort to save rare breeds of sheep from extinction by purchasing fleece from the shepherds.

    The sheep originated in Tunisia and became popular in the US

  7. Not sure if I mentioned here or just Patreon, but I am trying to stash bust this year. Even so, this combo of coloured merino from Lescatole.de, ostensibly felting supplies, breached my defenses and has joined the long blending & spinning queue.

  8. Das Motto des Internationalen Tages der Pressefreiheit am 3. Mai lautet heuer: „Eine Zukunft in Frieden gestalten: Pressefreiheit für Menschenrechte, Entwicklung und Sicherheit fördern.“

    Während bei der World Press Freedom Day Global Conference am 04. und 05. Mai in Lusaka, Sambia, über diese Themen gesprochen wird, spinne, stricke und häkle ich im Atelier Mitzi für die Pressefreiheit: Mit meiner Handspindel stelle ich aus alten Zeitungen Papiergarn her. Daraus entstehen gehäkelte Körbe und gestrickte Stücke.

    Ein herzliches Danke meiner wundervollen Tochter @hasi für die tollen Fotos!

  9. C'è qualcuno da seguire per la #pesca ? In particolare lo #spinning in #torrente?
    Dopo anni ho finalmente ricominciato e sto reimparando tutto, con equipaggiamento preso in prestito da mio zio.
  10. It’s been a low energy few days but I kept my hands occupied!

    Dug out a dusty bag of flax top fibre, my cobwebbed drop spindle and got to work learning (or continuing to learn) spinning by hand. Here’s my humble first tiny cake of 2 ply cordage. Coarse, uneven but cute. 😝

    No idea what I’m going to use it for ha.

    #spinning #flax

  11. Time to update my #introduction -

    I'm a #pagan #polytheist #animist #queer #author #artist and spiritworker. My specialty (obsession) is all things #Minoan though I do also have interests in other practices and traditions.

    I'm the founder and Temple Mom of #AriadnesTribe inclusive Minoan spiritual tradition (there's a link in my bio). Yes, we're fully inclusive. All means all.

    I've written pagan and magical #fiction and #nonfiction and created an adult #ColoringBook and a #Tarot deck.

    I love #gardening and #LivingHistory (which in some places is called Heritage Interpretation) and preindustrial skills like #weaving #spinning #knitting #crochet #quilting #HearthCooking and I love learning new skills as well.

  12. Yesterday I asked my neighbor who is an amateur #woodworker to make me a basic spindle and he did! I’m also beginning to get the hang of the #ParkAndDraft spinning technique and it works really well with the very short fibers of native cotton.

    I am carding by hand and would like to figure out a DIY solution to make better cards without spending over $100 on cotton combs. Any suggestions from the #spinning community?

  13. tonight i'm experimenting with using stitch markers to mark my needle knitting sample swatch. hopefully soon, it'll become a new EZ Adult Surprise Jacket!

    this babydoll southdown wool is so soft and squooshy! i want to spin another fleece of it!

  17. I continue to spin the Soay fleece from my friends' sheep into usable yarn, and of course I tried some different techniques before finding the right one:

    First time after 2 years out :)
    Borked knees, left #TKR last year, back on the wheel today.
    Went with grippy undyed Kent Romney to start off.

    You rock, muscle memory!

  19. Spinning Frigg Vintage Fairytale Pin: A beautiful vintage brass pin of a woman with her distaff and spinning wheel. Pin measures just over 1 3/4" (4.5cm) wide. 

    Frigg is the Norse Goddess of spinning-- it is said that she spun the clouds and you can see her spinning wheel in the sky as the constellation known as Orion's Belt.

  20. I’m bad about making time for spinning, but today managed a bit! This was an awkward blend that I didn’t really enjoy, lots of neps and lumps so it sat for quite some time before plying. I’m also not a fan of plying.

    My favourite fibers to spin are alpaca & llama, followed by merino. I’ve never tried spinning silk or cotton (yet). Natural fibres really resonate with me.

  21. #introduction

    Ok, so here goes… I like to keep to myself but am forced to socialise at work, whilst travelling to and from work.

    I have only just come back to #knitting and #crochet and #spinning.

    I love to keep my eye on #politics hence #auspol and I love lazy days rugged up in bed with #wool and #homecrafted #crochethooks and a good book or my beloved #ukuleles.

    Above all, love spending time with @Alpha1Nine.

    #Tere! to all my #Estonian friends & relatives!

  22. The smallest #scraps of leftover #yarn in your #stash can be used to make #wristwarmers. These are #crocheted but could just as easily be #knitted. When it's cold they make a difference & help #warmhands, especially when #typing, #painting or #drawing. No #pattern just make them up as you go along. If your skills leave as much to be desired as mine do, use varying #textured #wools. #crafts #knit #winter #warmth #stitches #knitandnatter #coldhands #keyboard #Spinning #weaving #sewing
