... whatever you want to call it -- #crafttherapy, #stressrelief, #holistichobbying, #happyplace, #craftingjoy, #joy -- whatever ... keep doing it! ❄ Fiber: @inglenookfibers #Painted Peacock #sticklebatts. * spun on my #lendrumdt ❄ #dnalispins #nickyandmaggs #blackknittersofinstagram #bipocspinners #handspunyarn #handspinnersofinstagram #hygge #knittersofinstagram #igknitters #igspinners #knitstagram #spinnersofravelry #spin15aday #slowtextiles #slowliving #spin15adaystashdown #vincyknitter #yarnspinning #yarnspinnersofinstagram #wintercrafting #elisaandtenskeins

It's been a #plying sorta weekend resulting in a visual reminder of why patience and practice are needed. From left to right, first spindle shows the first ever full sample I made on a drop spindle. Second, my most recent #dropspindle spin but first fully plied project on a drop spindle. Next over, my first Painted Peacock #sticklebatt bump wrapped on my #Andeanply tool (from @symonangel) getting ready to be plied. ❄ The difference in consistency and yarn thickness between the first and second spindles is clear. Patience and practice did that. Keep spinning newbies!!! ❄ #dnalispins #dropspindle #goldingspindles #blackknittersofinstagram #craftsandlife #crafttherapy #fiberartist #handspunyarn #handspinnersofinstagram #happyplace #hygge #knittersofinstagram #knitstagram #igknitters #suspendedspindling #newbiespinner #spinnersofravelry #spin15aday #spin15adaystashdown #woolyweekend #woolstories #vincyknitter #yarnspinning #yarnlove

... long week, rough some days, means #easysaturday. Currently watching Roma on Netflix, #yarnspinning on my Russian #supportspindle and drinking #nettletea I picked up while hanging with @tobarp And @yarnengineer a few months ago. Hope your weekend starts and is lovely for you.💜💜💜 #dnalispins #blackknittersofinstagram #bipocspinners #handspunyarn #handspinnersofinstagram #hygge #knittersofinstagram #knitstagram #igknitters #igspinners # slowliving #slowtextiles #spinnersofravelry #spindling #woolyweekend #vincyknitter

... there is always #fiber around me. In the midst of getting ready for work I realised that on my bed were an #enidashcroft #dropspindle that I gave a test run last night with a #classysquidfiberco sample, a #woodlandwoodworking #phang and a ball of yarn I hand wound courtesy of @debsfibers and sweet sheep #greta. Even my nightie has sheep on it! 😂😂😂 Can you say #fiberarts #love? 😂😂😂 Happy #Friyay y'all!!! 💜💜💜 #dnalispins #dnaliknits #crafttherapy #fiberartist #happyplace #hygge #knittersofinstagram #igknitters #knitstagram #handspunyarn #handspinnersofinstagram #spin15aday #spin15adaystashdown #spinnersofravelry #bipocspinners #supportspindle #woolyweekend #woolstories #vincyknitter
