It's finally here!

I've spun up my first bobbin of Icelandic wool! Time for bobbin number two. 😻 #handspunyarn #woolmakers #woolmakersbliss #spinningwheel #handspun #blackcat #catstagram #kitten #kitty #cats #blackcatsofinstagram #fiberart #knitting #crochet #yarnporn #wool

The first bit of roving from the mill! #drumcarder #millyourown #deepdyedyarns #wool #woolmakers #handspun (at Deep Dyed Yarns)

So I may have spun and plied a 4.6 art batt all today. I was really trying to spin lace weight singles for a fingering weight shawl, but I came out to 285 yards when I was looking to get 400+. I'm getting better though! This batt is from the Yarn Wench #Etsy store. It is so beautiful and sparkly my camera didn't know how to handle the depth of color, hence the three wildly different looking photos. . . #woolmakersbliss #spinningwheel #handspun #handspunyarn #yarn #knitting #yarnporn #gayboi #instagay #knittersofinstagram #woolmakers #merino #artbatt #silk #sparkle #purple #craft

Managed to get all my singles plied and skeined up! I was going for worsted or DK, but the larger skein came out to be 94 grams and 115 yards so I guess that puts me at bulky. It doesn't look that bulky to me though! Oh well. 🤠 the skeins are soaking now, and will be put up to dry momentarily. YAY FOR MY FIRST HANDSPUN YARN! . . #spinning #woolmakersbliss #woolmakers #knittersofinstagram #handspunyarn #spinningwheel #yarnporn #handmade #yarn #knitting #gayboi #instagay #craft #wool #wolle

Ich habs geschafft!!! Meine allererste Spule voll mit selbst (Navajo) verzwirntem Garn. Bis jetzt hatte ich das ja immer an @matthias.bebber ausgelagert :) Und ich muss sagen, zwirnen ist großer Ärger. Das Fäden vernähen des Spinnens. #mimimi I did it! My fist ever self plied (Navajo style) yarn. I must admit, plying sucks! Duh! #spinning #spinnersofinstagram #plying #thingsthatsuck #yarn #yarnporn #malabrigo #wool #woolmakers #bliss #spinningwheel

Ich bin mit meinem Malabrigo Kammzug übrigens immer noch nicht fertig. Aber der kleine fluff da ist der Rest. Dann kann ich zwirnen und den pure joy von joji anschlagen! Juhu. I am still not finished spinning my malabrigo roving. The little fluff is my leftover, then I will ply and cast on joji's pure joy! Huzzah. #spinning #spinnersofinstagram #instaspinning #malabrigo #woolmakers #bliss #purejoy #jojilocatelli #almostfinished

Seit Monaten habe ich heute Abend das erste Spinnprojekt abgeschlossen. 100g, 318m. Alles mit Handspindeln gesponnen und am @woolmakers Rad verzwirnt. #spinstagram #spinning #spinnersofinstagram #woolmakers #bliss #Handspindel (hier: Jena)
