Making Yarn

My handspun stash is growing! I love making these bulky thick and thin thread plied skeins. They help me relax and have a little fun when I’m feeling stressed. No plan for what they will come yet, I’m just enjoying the making for now. The batts from all of these yarns (and the next 3 coming) from @mirlafiberarts, my favorite batt maker. 💕 #handspun #igspinners #yarn #yarnlove (at ontheround) https://www.instagram.com/p/B-Fc4JKJCsl/?igshid=zccpk9wezeg6

My whole life I have turned to making in times of stress. Making feels good because it tell our stress body that everything is ok. Thinking critically, making choices and action steps always feel good when the world around us feels out of control. Making things also gets our brain in flow state, which means we are focusing on what is happening in the very moment. It’s best to work on projects that are hard enough to keep you focused, but easy enough to keep you moving and making (not frustrated). When I am making things I feel positive and hopeful... I feel loved and loving.... I feel confident and capable. In stressful times we have to make decisions and take action steps... it’s unavoidable. But we also have to remember to take care of ourselves. Making is always how I take care of myself in times of crisis, how are you taking care of yourself? #ontheround #yarn #makingthings #makersgonnamake #makersmovement #makersofinstagram #makerspace #knitting #yarn #yarnlove #crochet #weaving #ontheroundyarnlove (at ontheround) https://www.instagram.com/p/B9rOMefpu2G/?igshid=ztarlv7pi7mr
