Some people feel an urge to clean their house in spring. I don't. But I do feel an urge to wash fleece. I'm only about one quarter into processing a very large fleece that I washed at the end of last summer. So I took the small bit of Walliser Schwarznase lamb fleece that I got for free with my last big fleece purchase.

Wool update on this rainy day of feeling like complete garbage. It turns out Cupcake's fleece has a break very close to the sheep side, I didn't notice before because I was combing and it pulls out the little bits. Picking and carding retains little neps but the yarn is pleasantly rustic #handspinning

No problem-o!
I always enjoy hearing about fiber craft tools in the wild (:
Looking forward to seeing your spinning when you get a chance to try it out!

@Stratski

How long/tall is it?

My first guess is a supported spindle (perhaps a goddess-style phang spindle?)-- you'd twirl it on the pointy tip (on a flat surface or a bowl) and draft with the other tip. The cop can be wound around the middle of the spindle, and you can create a temporary cop closer to where you're drafting.

I suspect the bit of string attached to it might've come from a leader that you can attach your fiber to to get started?

@Stratski Nice find!. Looks like a Phang spindle. Something like this: https://www.regenbogenwolle.de/handspindeln/spindeln/supported/7492/virgin-kensie-phang-spindel-aus-mahagoni

This is actually a swing picker, not a dick flattener. You put locks of wool in and the rusty metal prongs fluff it up #handspinning

Sometimes I forget how long it takes to spin a bit finer… 🧶 #HandSpinning

she decided she wanted to help (unfortunately she backspun or I'd call it cat-spun yarn) #cat #handspinning

It’s April 2 and time for my monthly round up of my #FiberGoals. I have done 5+ min of fiberarts for 92 consecutive days. Mostly spinning, sometimes knitting. I also made hexiflats (3 handspun). AND, I completed one project from spinning through knitting (my S2KAL Jaunty). Other things - like progress on the Advent calendar - have fallen away. That will probably be a next year thing at this point. I’m really happy with what I’m doing right now. #TextileArt #handSpinning #knitting #FiberArts
