Finally got ALL the huskies, past and present, out for a walk in the winter! That's the husky fur scarf I finished last spring, made with fur from Rio, Wizard, Gypsy, Zeena and Tonttu. Zeena (R) and Tonttu (L) are the only ones still around to generate fiber for future projects. (I have plenty left from the others in bins waiting to be spun!) It's nice that I can bring the whole pack with me now on snowy adventures!

The scarf was warm, but not overly so. Some people say husky/dog yarn is too warm, but maybe that's just for around-the-house wear.

It was slightly prickly around the neck. There are occasional guard hairs in the yarn: during prep/spinning I removed some as I go, but I wasn't not super diligent. I think it might be worth spinning up some more carefully (and tediously) processed undercoat for comparison, specifically for future cowls & collars.

Ich habe das "Problem" des Anspinnfadens gelöst und fleißig geübt, aus wilden Fasern Garn und Strick zu spinnen. Es gelingt immer besser, vor allem freue ich mich, die widerspinnstigen Nesselfasern bändigen zu können.

It's been almost 10 years of selling #GulfCoast #fleece, #CombedTop, & #yarn & people keep asking me if I have an online shop. I promised my coach I'd have one made by Halloween! 😮😬 I always say, better late than never! 😅

So, I am building a little shop on my website... 😊 Stay tuned!

I'm also picking up my new (sock) yarn from the mill this weekend, which will be available in my shop in the near future! #knitting

Aaannnddd, you will also find some of my #HandSpun in the shop as well...☺

had to do some easy spinning after plying the chunky stuff this morning (ugh)

this is blended Lincoln and BFL. I'm digging the halo. 😇

continuing my "what is the deal with art yarn" journey, my first coily beehives 🐝

this is a very silly technique. I can't imagine using it for a real project, but it is fun to spin.

New #handspun socks!  #knitting #FiberArts

I started these on the plane to Singapore and finished them soon after returning, giving me a new pair of socks in nearly record time of a little over a week. I'm quite pleased with how they turned out.
