Fleece to Fabric

The 4 stages of Comb waste. Fluffy nappy scrap that I feel tremendous guilty about eventually becomes useful dryer balls. #intentionalliving #scrappywool #zerowasteliving #simpleliving

Combing corridale in the almost garden. First half of the fleece is spun as a 3 ply fingering weight. The second half is taking some patients as it has some cotted tips and vm in the lock. But the silvery dove grey and hand feel spun up is worth the extra effort. At this point I'm having to work fleeces as they are reachable. My entire process is down to grabbing the first thing that falls out of the shed and then slamming the door like a naughty child hiding all my stuff ...in the closet while claiming my room is clean. The Joy's of moving into a tiny home. I'm also having to wash my fleeces in buckets which is a huge step back from the industrial size basins in my shop. But it is what it is. #handspunyarn #combingwool #greyyarn #3ply #spinningfibre #spinninginthegarden #localwool #fibershed #spinnersofinsta #wemakeyarn #tinyhomestead #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #wholefleece See more

Working up quickly. Sometimes its nice to know where you are going. You get there a little faster and the way is a little clearer. And right now as I have to establish my life in a new house, and a new town it feels good to have something very simple and predictable on the needles. #knitstagram #igknitters #tavistock #makersgoingtomake #deepstash #destashing #simplelifehappylife #sweaterweather #mommade

Well the camilla was a super enjoyable knit. So I'm making another this time stash busting some inherited yarn from Eaton's. This time in a size 6 a rather then 12. Probably going to make a few of these in different yarns cause my hands feel idle and my brain needs the easy knit to self soothe. #quickknit #deepstash #deepstashdive #knistagram #stashbusting

Stayed up way to late after work yesterday to finish the knitting of this beauty. Used 5.5mm needles for the last 3 rounds of the neckline. Finished grafting the arm pits and weaving in the ends. Despite the number of times I've said finish its not done yet. #handspunyarn #handspun #fibrearts #makersgoingtomake #spinnersofinsta #knitlovewool #knistagram #localwool #scrappyknittingproject #ontariowool #camillasweater #camillakid #localmade #minnime #scrapyarn #indiedyer #mommade #made #madewithlove #knitwithlove #quickknit #sustainablefashion #slowfashionmovement #slowfashion #morningmotivation #knitsinthegarden #gardenknits

Well into the body of the #camillakid sweater. It's going to be so thick and smooshy. I don't think I've knit anything this chunky in years. I'm enjoying how quickly this is going. #quickknit #scrappyknitting #scrappyknittingproject #colour #localwoolshop #localwool #fibershed #jumper #chunkysweater #knittedforkids #knittersofinstagram #knistagram #handspunstagram #indiedyer #slowfashion #stashbusting
