Day Six: Wrapping paper quills for my spindles is hard on my hands. But I made five more and got about a third of a spindle spun. #SpinTogether2021 #TeamGDW #TeamGriffinDyeworks #TeamSpindle alt-txt: close up of four cops of yarn on paper quill cores, one wooden spindle with just about a third of the quantity spun, and four new paper quills made from red/pink/purple origami floral paper (logo in lower right, label at top Day Three, hashtags at the bottom left) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUx41tpPvsh/?utm_medium=tumblr

Day Six: Almost exactly half the fiber has been spun. Not a lot of time today to spin, but any is better than none. #SpinTogether2021 #TeamGDW #TeamGriffinDyeworks #TeamSpindle alt-txt: unspun wool in red/orange/yellow and unspun wool in pink/orange/yellow, on top of which is sitting four cops of yarn on paper quill cores, one wooden spindle with just about a third of the quantity spun, and four new paper quills (logo in lower right, label at top Day Three, hashtags at the bottom left) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUx4uuav10V/?utm_medium=tumblr

Day Four: Close up. The spindle in the front was Tuesday evening's spinning, sitting in front of Sat, Sun, and Mon yarn cops #SpinTogether2021 #TeamGDW #TeamGriffinDyeworks #TeamSpindle alt-txt: top yarn cop on a wooden spindle, directly in front of three yarn cops--all in red, orange, yellow, and pink shades, unspun fiber behind it all (logo in lower right, label at top Day Three, hashtags at the bottom left) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUsJ5Q3FDkA/?utm_medium=tumblr

Day Four: It was NOT a day with enough spinning. Long hours at work cut into my evening. But I spun. #SpinTogether2021 #TeamGDW #TeamGriffinDyeworks #TeamSpindle alt-txt: in the background are several loops and bumps of unspun fiber in yellow, orange, pink, and red. sitting on top the wool are three yarn cops (bottom left) and a partially filled wooden spindle (top right) (logo in lower right, label at top Day Three, hashtags at the bottom left) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUsJpwXlrNb/?utm_medium=tumblr

And now for a jazzy recap of the whole week... #SpinTogether #SpinTogether2020 #TeamGDW #TeamGriffinDyeworks #DropSpindle #SpinningToWeave https://www.instagram.com/p/CGP4EVUASLH/?igshid=1x4v6qqf4bym7

FINAL TALLY: From Noon 10/3 to Noon 10/10, I spun a total of 1004.89 total yards of singles (Z-twist, at approx 38 wraps per inch), using 116.73 grams/ 4.12 ounces of Cormo wool. After measuring, I've wrapped them in paired singles (no ply) to later put them in figure-eight skeins, natural dyepots, hang to dry, back into paired singles balls of yarn, then ply, then weave in traditional Andean Backstrap Weaving motifs. #PreciousStash #SpinTogether #SpinTogether2020 #TeamGDW #TeamGriffinDyeworks #DropSpindle #SpinningToWeave https://www.instagram.com/p/CGOYnWnlGqX/?igshid=ks4luuocnicu

Got up super early to finish another 1-oz spindle full before work. And heading to bed, there's just 1/3 left to finish in this ounce. #SpinTogether #SpinTogether2020 #TeamGDW #TeamGriffinDyeworks #DropSpindle #SpinningToWeave https://www.instagram.com/p/CGJ0eVsFny5/?igshid=1hl5ulv5ke4w3

Just about 1/6 of the ounce left to complete, but time for bed. Only one more working-day before the final weekend-day of the contest/challenge. #SpinTogether #SpinTogether2020 #TeamGDW #TeamGriffinDyeworks #DropSpindle #SpinningToWeave https://www.instagram.com/p/CGHQh-zlFaH/?igshid=1qbe3ha87uvw5
