Today I learnt how to use my support spindle. I’m bad at it but once my wrists and hands stop hurting from an intensive 4 hours straight of spinning I’m going to practice a lot. It’s fun and much much less painful for my shoulders than the drop spindle.

This is all I've gotten done today. Time to ply, but probably after dinner. I'm hungry!

3). Yay ! I signed up for a spinning class
40. I never realized the size of yarn, needles and how much I needed are important

I got to enjoy a fully masked hand spinning / drop spindle class for beginners yesterday, and I made my own 2-ply yarn. I really want to keep working on my consistency. I need to level up a bunch before I can justify a spinning wheel. #spinning #yarn #dropspindle #fiberarts
I’ve been doing some more drop spindle spinning lately. The fiber batt is a mix of recycled yarn I put together on my drum carder. #spinning #yarnspinning #dropspindle #fiberart #recycledart #FiberArtist

Finally finished the last of my spindle turtles!

I'd originally thought to ply these in pairs but decided after the first one that I'd chain ply because I liked the smoother gradient I'd get that way. This is 2oz of fiber from Fully Spun in the Omnisexual Pride colourway. The plan will be to use it in some colourwork, probably a hat or mitts.

Today is the last day of the 100-day spin a long thing I've been doing, so here's the current state of my drop spindle. I'm on the last single for this project and I likely won't finish it today but maybe soon?

Third spindle turtle done, one last one to go!

Using the computer doesn't suck as much today, but I definitely still need longer screen breaks. Time to close that laptop!
