Spin & Weave
This is where I will share items specifically connected to my spinning and weaving adventures.
The bunny is back on the bicycle.
I'll be spinning with the Highland Guild's spinning group.
Here are a few photos of my Tour project this year with the Highland Treadlers and Twirlers 2024.
I was also spinning with JoAnne in the USA. Spinning merino/silk/yak dyed by Louise at Ewenique Fibres on my Daedalus Sparrow accompanied by my Cubs mug.
I spun this rather fine and plied it against itself, split lengthwise and hoping to line up colours. It worked pretty well. I enjoyed the spin very much. I will be weaving with this yarn.
The Brecon is a preparation from John Arbon Mills. Love it! Love their fiber combos and preparation. They are top notch!

Ashford Handicrafts have been in business for several generations. I learned to spin on an Ashford Traditional, I love to weave on Ashford looms. They have a great selection of fibers and yarns as well. ​​
Brown Sheep yarns have also been in business for generations. I have been knitting with Brown Sheep yarns for nearly 40 years and weaving with them for slightly less. This is a great company with an amazing selection of yarns and colors. ​
