I had a really good session last Monday though and spun all these cuties :3

The two tall ones are turned from 650g of clay, and I tried to get about the same shape, but one ended up sooo much bigger than the other '^^

"spun"

Wooopsie, I think I've been spinning too much yarn recently '^^

Here's basically all the yarn I spun using a drop spindle during the last 6 months

I hadn't realized I got so much! I really enjoy how the color came out (I mixed two different fibers to get this moss-like shade)

Comparison of the first skein (on the right) versus one of the last ones I spun (left), there's so much progress! Now the yarn is way thinner and more even :3

Only issue: I don't know how to spin bulky anymore '^^

And last but not least: this is the very first skein of yarn I ever made from raw wool, doing all the processing myself before being even able to spin!

It's wool of the sheep from the University of my city :b

I'm really proud of these two bowls I threw and trimmed this morning, they are both made from 900g of clay, which is the most I've ever thrown! owo

The other day I went on a walk along the nearby river, and stumbled upon a huge pile of thin willow branches

I could not help it, my brain thought it was really precious and that I had to take a bunch of them back home to try to make something out of them...

Brain went brrr

So today I spent three hours weaving a basket (here are the branches just soaking in our bathtub)...

I had no idea what I was doing, but apparently assumed that my intuition was good enough

It is wonky af, but it is a basket 🤷

Also it is by messing around like this that you actually realize how difficult it is to make everyday objects, and the sheer amount of knowledge craftspeople have

New spinning project!

I started spinning this plant dyed silk my neighbor gave me yeaaars ago

It’s my first time spinning silk and it’s very pleasant! The long staple length makes that one can spin very thin thread, and I sort of like it

The idea for this project is to spin all the silk into a rainbow sequence, and then to ply it with some black sheep (maybe alpaca, we’ll see) wool :3
