Stashdown has been stalled because who knows. Had a ply day on Sunday and started a new bump of fiber called "bramble". Falkland merino, spinning quite nicely with short forward draw even after years in stash.
Considering setting a goal of 25 braids in 2025... but this is only the 2nd, so beginning not fortuitous.
One of the positive things about being not very good at spinning long draw is that when you do it, you concentrate on doing it... and that does not leave room for brain weasels to gnaw on bitter bits of the world's recent idiocies.

#100DaysStashdown is not going smoothly this year. Here we are on day 58 and quite a few days have been missed. The merino / sari silk is finished and I found this lovely #BFL which is just getting started. Longish draw from the tip is almost working. Except when it doesn't.
This is how much I can spin during a Mozart piano concerto, a Chopin prelude, and half of a Bruckner symphony. How did I not know about the Berlin Philharmonic digital tickets before? Day 29 of #100DaysStashdown
Unsure if this is a hot mess or charmingly irregular. The lumps of recycled silk add a challenge. Day... 27, I suppose. Fiber is from #TheWoolery

Have you ever gotten to the end of a year as an adult and thought "this was a fantastic year, I loved it, I'm happy, more of the same would be great"? I can't remember ever feeling that way ๐ค
Got a couple big bobbins of plied yarn and these remainders. Not so bad. Day 22.
Mmmm, 3 ply. Day 21.
Day... what day is it? I don't know any more. Anyway I started the third bobbin.
