#SheepOfMastodon #spinningwool
3 very fine fleeced solid moorit lambs born last night. Breeding program to develop a flock of multi colored fine fleeced sheep from BFL x Icelandic crosses progressing. These will be heaven to spin. -
How I find peace in a wacky world. FYI: I'm a beginner so I know the yarn doesn't look perfect. #handspinning #spinningwheel #spinningwool #craft #spinning

Yesterday I spent a morning learning a technique that interests me as a knitter who loves local fibres: spinning wool. It was humbling, each step requiring great dexterity and a lot of coordination. It was also interesting to finally find my balance by trying out different spinning wheels. The one that suits me best was unknown to me (Wollknoll Merino), but it's gentle on my weak knees. It has the advantage of being cheaper, made of solid wood and without plastic.

First yarn spun on my new wheel. Some Malabrigo Nube fibre. I lost a chunk when plying because my bobbin was not large enough, and I failed in using the Andean plying tool, but it ended up with 100g almost right on the dot

It was too dark for pictures last night so I didn't get to show you #EmmaTheSheep's glow-up. A lot of that brown was... actually grey! She looks like a big floofly storm cloud and I know I'm going to have fun with this fleece.

I have no idea what I'm actually going to do with this fleece, but for now she's getting a nice hot bath.

I said no, but my cat is Emma. "It's your fleece then!" Margaret said. It was one of her sheep so she proceeded to tell me all about Emma's temperament, about how she's very good natured and a good mother and how she likes to name all her sheep because then they know you care about them. Meanwhile, she was holding up the entire auction and I didn't care because Margaret is pretty delightful. 3/

Things were running slowly at the auction because Margaret decided that she needed to figure out the sheep's name for every single fleece she brought around, but that involved digging out a little name card out of the bottom of each bag of fleece. Then she wanted to try to match the sheep names to the names of the people in attendance.
She approached me with a big bag of sheepy-smelling fleece and asked "are you Emma?" 2/

Happy #ScouringSunday! Today I'm scouring #EmmaTheSheep, a Suffolk, North Country Cheviot, mixed bag sheep from Surrey, BC.
This fleece kind of called to me at auction. Not sure why. But it was already on my list when one of the auction helpers, Margaret, brought the bag of wool around for everyone to feel up. 1/

or… track the temperature throughout the day, and have each row be a gradient of it.
sounds easiest to spin various pre-dyed roving together, except i tend to spin too thin to want to do singles, or too uneven when i try to do a worsted weight. #knitting #spinningwool

Here’s another one of my favorite colorways. I call this one Rhapsody. The pinkish color is one of my favorite dye mixes. Would you believe that it’s mostly brown with a few drops of magenta? It coordinates so well with the slate blue. @fiberarts #fiberarts #spinningwool #yarn

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
