  • Please enjoy some spinning with me on my new Daedalus Starling (aka ‘The Lamborghini’). Fibre is the WoW team blend Dragon’s Breath which is merino & mulberry silk.

  • My daedalus, aka birdie, arrived! Sadly, it somehow managed to ship missing the main tensioner so now I have to wait for that part to be shipped out to me…although, someone in my fibre community suggested a possible temporary solution I could try… Regardless, this machine is super quiet & I can’t wait to start…

  • I bought myself a rotating spindle stand from Kravelli on etsy to better store my spindle collection. Only my drop spindles don’t fit in it, so those will remain in the pebble filled jar.

  • Kevin has decided she’s caretaker for the full spindle sticks. These are the spun up rolags I hand made. Now to plying them!

  • WoW fibre advent Day 21. This is a superfine merino & suri alpaca blend.

  • Decided to try colour control using some wooly witch rolags. These were the popsicle colourway and not all the rolag colours matched up across the rolags, so I tried to separate out so light & dark colours would end up together. This is a 3ply and I think considering it’s my first go at colour…

  • WoW fibre advent Day 20. GREEN!! This is a corridale & stellina blend.

  • WoW fibre advent Day 17. Today’s offering is a super soft punta arenas, nylon, & merino blend.

  • WoW fibre advent Day 15. Today it’s a ‘naughty child’ blend of mohair, merino, viscose, & bamboo.

  • Took my new handmade blending board & packing brush set (from Celestial Farms on Etsy) for a spin. All these rolags weighed in at 351 grams. The Splatoon-a-melon is merino, bio nylon, trilobal nylon, & rose fibre. The Aussie rolags are merino, superwash merino, trilobal nylon, & rose fibre.
