Finished Qum Persian Carpet, but the plying will have to wait until after vacation. Maybe it will be a Tour de Fleece project —I only have about four of those planned already!

I have a new custom blend top from the mill. This blend is Shetland, Gotland, and Rose fiber and is available in 5 different colors. Available in my etsy shop.

I enjoyed everything about this project! Must have been the spindle, in combination with a good fiber preparation, because the spindling was relaxing/effortless almost. I added in colored locks on occasion... just because. The small skein is the same fiber overdyed in black cherry Kool-Aid and I plan to do some casual striping in a shawl project. .

30g singles packed on a 29g spindle and I’m finally done with this cop. Really didn’t think it was all going to fit. Fiber is Finn from Three Waters Farm, colorway Noon Train. Spindle is a Jenkins Turkish Delight. #spindlespinning #threewatersfarm #jenkinsturkishspindle #turkishspindle #handspinning #spinnersofinstagram #spinnersofig #igspinners #igyarnspinners #spin15aday #wemakeyarn
Once the wool is washed and dried, it’s time to start prepping and spinning it! (See previous post for washing)
.
First, you pick out any junk and fluff the wool as you go to open it up a bit.
.
Then, you card it. From what I understand, carders are relatively new. In the past, people only used combs. Now, carders are preferred.
.
Then you pick the carded wool sheet clean one more time before spinning it.
.
Here, the ladies are preparing sock yarn. If you’d like to learn more about sock knitting in the High Atlas, click the link in my bio.
.
Once the yarn is plied, it’s washed vigorously in cold, soapy water, rinsed until the water runs clear, and hung outside to dry. Under Max’s watchful gaze, of course.

They should put spindles in the waiting rooms. They would give patients some comfort and and peace of mind. Or as a treatment – a spindle a day keeps the doctor away! #spinnersofinstagram #handspunyarn #handspun #spindlespinning #supportspindle #tahklispinning Spindle by @john_galen_designs fluff from @vinterverkstan
