*cackles* I managed to get 400g of ‘ice cream’ merino & milk fibre singles on my bobbin. I’m planning to measure off 3 equal lengths of singles to 3 ply with a sparkly silver thread.

Completed crochet cowl made from cormo & merino. I ended up adding additional edging details because the cast on and bind off didn’t visually match. I might do this again with different handspuns. Base pattern is by CrochetTheHighway.

I’ve been making doll knitwear for my critter friends from my handspuns! The bobble textured & grey shawls are actually a headscarf pattern – the buttons on the edges allow them to also be worn as a headscarf/neckerchief by a human. The green infinity scarf I just free-handed. 🐐 Rupert 🐰 Freyja 🐴 Idris Dolls…

I finally measured all the skeins that I completed over the last few months during school term time. There is a lot of yardage here.

Finished red dorset horn waste wool, that was used for packing & I combed. It’s ended up a really lovely tweedy yarn 🧶

My final #TDF2024 efforts. I achieved my first thread plyed fractal and a chunky weight yarn, alongside 4 other skeins and masham singles that are now resting. I didn’t progress much on the cotton but I did learnt a lot about how to spin it. Plus, I got blackout on the TDF bingo challenge card!

Ok, I’m now ready to tackle plying all my wheel bobbins!! All of these are going to be chain plyed to hopefully get a nice light DK weight yarn.

TDF progress update! I have finished the fractal yarn, all the bobbins have now been plied, the brown icelandic single is finished, & the cotton is progressing. I also prepped 200g grams of ‘berry burst’ roving into rolags because I impulsively decided I needed a lofty woolen spin for the planned chunky yarn.

I decided to be slightly more relaxed for TDF this year. My goals are to spin up the wools shown, as well as some egyptian cotton I prepped into rolags, – if everything is singles at the end I’m cool with that. I’m also doing a chill bingo from one of my discord fibre groups…
