Another painted warp on the loom. Same draft, different stripes, and green weft instead of rose. @ashlandbay Arequipa yarn. #alicatfiberarts #ashlandbay #handdyed #dyersofinstagram #merinowool #silk #indiedyer #handmade #handdyedwarp #paintedwarp #handwoven #handweaving #weaving #merino #wool #weaversofinstagram #slowcloth #scarf #handwoventextiles #handmadestyle #handmadegifts #handwovenscarf (at Glastonbury, Connecticut) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6bvwmzp1YV/?igshid=v2ayuvx0326

This one is spoken for, but I'll have another similar one on the loom soon. @ashlandbay Arequipa (85% merino, 15% silk) #alicatfiberarts #handdyed #dyersofinstagram #wool #handdyed #indiedyer #handmade #handdyed #handdyedwarp #paintedwarp #handwoven #handweaving #weaving #merino #wool #silk #dyersofinstagram #weaversofinstagram #slowcloth (at Glastonbury, Connecticut) https://www.instagram.com/p/B6EQPUmpLhZ/?igshid=14b89e3bvmefi

Finally able to post a (tiny!) shop update. BFL finally back in stock, so I'll be replenishing sold-out colorways on that base soon, and I have a new-to-me base - Targhee/Bamboo/Tussah (80/10/10) that I'm having fun sampling. #alicatfiberarts #munsteadlavender #purple #ltu&e #lifetheuniverseandeverything #teal #handdyed #dyersofinstagram #bfl #bflwool #tbtwool #wool #indiedyer #handspinnersofinstagram #handspinning #paintedroving #roving #combedtop (at Connecticut) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3rxP_XpQvn/?igshid=pxgtmj8iffrs

I did a Thing! A friend told me my loom was "code in the form of hardware." I've been having tension issues - I have modified my "code." I converted my standard warp beam into a sectional beam. #handmade #handspun #weaving #diy #weavinghacks #sectionalwarpbeam #diysectionalwarpbeam #handweaving #weaversofinstagram #floorloom #schachtspindleco #babywolfloom https://www.instagram.com/p/B2owJFop0lg/?igshid=1ho7pginifa5b

Finally have a new warp on the loom!

Actually doing the Tour de Fleece thing this year, but only because there's a Twitch team! My Stage 1 from yesterday - spinning up some Ouessant. #tdf2109 #tdfteamtwitch2019 #handspun #wool #rarebreeds #ouessantwool #ouessantsheep #spinnersofinstagram #handspinning https://www.instagram.com/p/Bzng7n3Jcqt/?igshid=4jfpm6qi1hoy

Coreopsis Tinctoria in bloom! One of these days I'll have enough flowers to dye with. I've done a better job keeping the squirrels out of the blueberries this year. And all those big white umbels? That's one carrot. #gardening #garden #naturaldyeing #Coreopsis #blueberries #carrotflowers #slowfood #growyourfood (at Glastonbury, Connecticut) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzZFdZ6JTXw/?igshid=vbadi844n6n6

Well my internet is out, but at least I have some cool mushrooms growing in my wood chips. https://www.instagram.com/p/BzBawfmJHhD/?igshid=1rsons8iht3fm

Pre clean-up and stone-setting. It'll probably be gone by Sunday. #westvilleartwalk #westvillect #newhaven #daisycatjewelry #handmade #sterlingsilverjewelry #sterlingsilver #butterfly #pendant (at Connecticut) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxItoMtJzLX/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1o1iwil6wxdrb

More yarn dyeing. Might put this one up in the shop. What do you think? #indiedyer #indiedyersofinstagram #handdyed #handdyedyarn #handdyedsockyarn #dyersofinstagram #knitstagram #knittersofinstagram #knitting #sockyarn https://www.instagram.com/p/BwciQ7gJEK3/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1le3l7tixn7ao

Bigger "swatch" of my green speckled yarn that shows it off better. Still very happy! Will have more pics of new color experiments soon. #indiedyer #indiedyersofinstagram #handdyed #handdyedyarn #knitting #sockknitting #knitstagram #knittersofinstagram #dyersofinstagram #sockyarn https://www.instagram.com/p/Bwa2mUspc3P/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=uvkha57cqyld
