The glamorous life of doing online classes and demos.... Laptop sitting on three books, side tripod as a backup. overhead swingarm for my camera to join the workshop and provide a shot of my hands and fiber, bar stool upside down to anchor the overhead tripod, and a different tripod weighting down the bench so it doesn't tip or fall. #GriffinDyeworks #FiberFrolic #KeepTeaching #KeepLearning #KeepSpinning https://www.instagram.com/p/CGgYGqXFMqE/?igshid=uia435gcm1nz

Final tally: 620 yards of Cormo wool, high-twist singles, spun on #DropSpindle, intended for natural dye pots then plying then Andean Backstrap Weaving. #SpinTogether #TeamGriffinDyeworks #teamGDW #GriffinDyeworks #SpinningToWeave https://www.instagram.com/p/B3kyhIBFg6s/?igshid=ztpwg1ox7lzg

I wouldn't normally wind these into skeins with figure-eight anchor ties, but my arm muscles are too tired to do anything else after measuring. Skein one, one ounce Cormo wool 383.5 yards. I haven't measured the wraps per inch yet in these high-twist singles destined for dyepots before plying for Andean Backstrap Weaving. #SpinTogether #TeamGriffinDyeworks #GriffinDyeworks #teamGDW #DropSpindle #SpinningToWeave https://www.instagram.com/p/B3kSZXXFU3e/?igshid=l97hhomi1utk

First spindle is wound off. I need coffee. #SpinTogether #TeamGriffinDyeworks #teamGDW #GriffinDyeworks #SpinningWeasel #DropSpindle https://www.instagram.com/p/B3kJr-NFld3/?igshid=1vp6hcmiifhu3

While I love process-based solutions and being mobile, able to do anything anywhere, I also still appreciate cool tools. This spinning weasel antique was sold at a clearance price from a guy who dresses sets in Hollywood, and I could afford it *and* worked nearby to meet for pickup (a few years ago). I always love when I need to pull it down and get to use it. I will wind off my spindles and measure the results of my #SpinTogether on my weasel. #SpinningToWeave #TeamGriffinDyeworks #teamGDW #GriffinDyeworks https://www.instagram.com/p/B3kGBAvFMqX/?igshid=1qsdrcbz2qed8

Progress all day today, #DaySeven and the end of #SpinTogether -- didn't finish the 2nd ounce of wool, but I am happy with my results #TeamGriffinDyeworks #GriffinDyeworks #teamGDW #DropSpindle https://www.instagram.com/p/B3jLQJ_lvPx/?igshid=5wmenc18u5ll

While my weekend plans were cancelled because the fires cutoff our freeways, I have consoled myself with binge watching television and filling my second spindle. #SpinTogether #TeamGriffinDyeworks #GriffinDyeworks #teamGDW #DropSpindle #SpinningToWeave #DaySix https://www.instagram.com/p/B3gkzMIFn6u/?igshid=5cxvxv07mkyq
