I spun a duplicate braid before just straight from the top without colour planning and the way it plied on itself looked icky to me and I'm still in the process of un-plying that one.

How should I spin this braid and please include your reasons in the tags so I can learn from your reasoning

Our finances could use a bit of a boost and I have a very specific set of skills and local access to the fibre supplier The Fiber Imp.

They are currently on holiday until August 10th and if there is enough interest I could take commissions for handspun made from their collection when they return.

How I imagine this working:

You select the wool you want spun from their shop and you hold your commission spot with a deposit in the amount of the wool cost in Canadian Dollars.

I would then use that money to buy your wool and I would spin the requested yarn and let you know the yardage and we can settle cost of labour on a case by case basis.

I want this to be affordable for you so really, the cost of labour will be more Tip What You Feel Is Right rather than a hard set number.

I would then slap on the shipping cost and we do payment via etransfer or paypal because I'm so old idk any other trustworthy ways to invoice.

I am unemployed and would be treating your order with all the love and attention that affords me; if you're a yarn nerd and want something specific, I am eager to test my mettle upon your iron.

Examples of handspun I've made from The Fiber Imp:

Spinning by candlelight

First pair of bobbins ready for plying!

Old timey problems require Red Green solutions

Making headway on braid 2/5 of the Apollo fibre and spinning from the fold is for sure the way to go with this blend.

It risks muddying otherwise

Finally found lighting that shows off the Apollo almost perfectly, just needs to be outside at night with a yellow-light on it -_-
