The last two reads of 2025.

 

Chanterelle

Finished the first half an ounce of Chanterelle at Spinners' group today, Spanish Peacock spindle #5.

 

 

SP spindle #6 is ready to finish the next bit of Chanterelle.

 

 

Pizzazz Plus

Tomorrow is Spinners' Group which means today I needed to wind Scarf Balls. 

I spent a few hours this afternoon combining and winding multi-strands of yarn. Diane's Doubling Stand was put to good use again as I wound 5-strands together.

 

 

 

I came across a yarn that was wound with 3-strands. I thought someone had wound it, but found the Ball Band tucked into the middle of the cake.

 

 

Pizzazz yarn with another strand of neutral fingering-weight yarn.

Three Days

It has been a dark and stormy three days. No wind this morning, a good sign.

 

 

The sun shone brightly in the afternoon.

I gathered my gear to spin outside and started the second "Truffle" on SP spindle #4.

Mushroom Blend

I am thinking of spinning the Inglenook Fibers Sticklebatts with Supported Spindles.

It has been quite awhile since I've spun supported. Starting small with an IF Mushroom Blend Sampler, just 3 oz ~ 1/2 oz per color.

 

Death Cap

More Sparkle

The Sticklebatts from Inglenook Fibers arrived earlier this week. It is lovely.

Snowy Owl, "Using a lovely Corrie X fleece from Shepherd's Hey, this smooth batt set is for those who prefer less texture." Non-Sparkle Sticklebatts - Corrie X fleece, Merino, Silk, Camel.

 

 

Carol of the Birds, "Using 2 lovely Corrie X fleece from Shepherd's Hey, this earthy batt set is a party for you spinning wheel!" Non-Sparkle Sticklebatts - Corrie X fleece, Merino, Silk, Tweed blend.

 

  

Blizzard, "Made with the amazing Haunui fleece straight from the flock in NZ, which we washed and picked and carded with yak/mulberry, then blended with more colorful top and silks and sparkle! No added texture." Sparkle Sticklebatts - Haunui fleece, Yak, Merino, Silk, Angelina.

The Organizer

I purchased an Over the Door Organizer to hold the Scarf Ball yarns. So neat and tidy.

 

 

The next thing I know I am emptying out the dresser in the Loom Room and then moving it into the Craft Room (aka Yarn Room).

 

 

Next I turned my attention back to the Loom Room and rearranged the three Ikea Kallax shelving cubes. 

 

 

Very nice, I like it.

 

Doubling Stand

A Guild friend gave me her Doubling Stand. Weavers use it to twist two or three threads together.

 

 

 

 I am using the Doubling Stand to make Scarf Balls.
