#toeup #afterthoughtheel 💎 finished these & even had enough to do a set of yoga-socks! Went back & added a bit more length because I’m an #amazon. - Fun little #hand dyed #handcarded #sock project! 💙 https://www.instagram.com/p/B9ADHTppI5o/?igshid=14rnmq8zdcde

Today is the day Grover the carder came into my life 🤗🤗🤗 And here is my first batt. 100% for personal use, in case anyone is wondering why I'm creating batts when I'm on sick leave 👍 This is 70/30 merino silk I dyed, and it's all turned out WAY better than I thought it would 😍 I expected my first batt to be a disaster! (My fingers *are* a disaster. A few open wounds. And I don't know how I've ended up with so many scratches on my nails?! Good job I'm not a nails person, not bothered 😂🤷‍♂️). But I now have 119g of cloudy silky fluffy heaven. I might even feel well enough to now SPIN IT too. I mean, wtf, right? 🌈 If anyone happens to be interested in this particular batt, I do have more of the dyed fluff leftover, and I will be creating batts for my shop in due course 🤗 But not today ❤️ One more afternoon of rest before I go back to the office job, and hopefully a normal routine (including shop orders etc.) and health, tomorrow 💕 #whatmustardmade #crochetersofinstagram #knittersofinstagram #indiedyersofinstagram #spinnersofinstagram #fibreaddict #yarnismyspiritanimal #makersgonnamake #handspunyarn #handspun #spinnersofig #spinstagram #handdyedroving #handdyedfibre #classiccarder #batts #handdyedbatt #handcarded (at Newcastle upon Tyne) https://www.instagram.com/p/BtgH1a5hFTf/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1djwfgvqy5xki

I got a drum carder for Christmas and I've been busy making so many blended batts ⚪️💙⚫️

For my curious sweets😘 Fluff is from my SaltnPeppa gradient batts~ I like to roll them up like rolags & spin tip to tip to encourage the #gradient 🖤~ I #predrafted this one to play further with the gradient formation & make spinning easier for #spintogether ~#polwarthsilk #merino #bamboo #handcarded https://www.instagram.com/p/B3X1Fs8JLux/?igshid=3dlq9n7zpics
