A circle of six handspun yarns in semi-solid, muted, earthy colours.
Mineralogy ‘Blue Slate’, a top containing royal blue, teal, black and white which spins up to a complex dark blue. Pictured in tops form and handspun singles on a bobbin.
A Majacraft Suzie Pro spinning wheel fitted with the lace flyer. On it is a half-full bobbin of a complex, green-leaning brown yarn
A bright yellow bobbin 3/4 full of creamy white, woollen spun singles on a Majacraft Suzie Pro spinning wheel.
A 2cm wide band on an inkle loom. The design features diagonal stripes of black and aqua which traverse the band in triangular blocks. It’s not quite a symmetrical design. Each alternate triangle on the right is bordered either with the main or background colour.
Four skeins of handspun yarn. From the left, a giant skein of green fractal spun 3-ply from a limited edition John Arbon Textiles blended top; natural Jacob; John Arbon Textiles Hangy Down and natural Zwartbles.
Two drop spindles. One 3D printed with a pink whorl and bright green yarn wound in a standard cop; one wooden with a brass inlay around the rim and wound with a mysterious mixture of bright pink and… all the colours! Displayed in a fancy-looking cop where each make is visible in the criss-crossed pattern. The fibre they’re spun from sits beside them.
Three spindles of handspun cotton single mounted in the built-in lazy Kate of a Bosworth book charkha. Imagine baby bear, mummy bear and daddy bear in cop form and you’re pretty much there! Handspinning
A cherry wood box charkha containing a driven spindle. Both the cop in progress and those on two spindles in the onboard storage are rather full of fairly fine cotton singles. Handspun yarn
Four knitted swatches of handspun yarn. On the left, one is very blended in colour, the middle one contains short stripes and in the bottom one half the swatch is dark, the other light. On the right is a gradient which looks like a sunset. Dark brown at the bottom, through orange to a pinky coral.
Little nests of spinning fibre in different colours litter a kitchen work surface.
A spindle cop wound with multiple crosses so the multi-coloured singles change to a muted coral in a zig-zag.
The spindle of a great wheel, with a cop of white wool in a more bulbous formation than would be ideal! #handspinning #handspun #spinningyarn #handspunyarn #spinning #spinster #yarnspinning #greatwheel #walkingwheel
