Winding a longer skein of yarn with just your body. In case the niddy-noddy is not at hand.
Extremely cool.

Easy, gadget free, skein winding trick!

hi spinning folk, do you have any tips for spinning wool with a very short staple length (like 3cm)? I've inherited a lot of old fibre but my first attempt at spinning a thin high twist yarn with it on my antique double dive wheel wasn't very promising. But I know the person spun a lot with it so it should be possible

Heyyyy mastodon!
It’s time for a snapshot #introduction of me, and how I'm hoping to contribute to this platform
My name is Cassie and I run a Philadelphia based community craft and art group. The group started 9 years ago on another well known platform and over the years it stopped serving our purposes. My hope is that this space can help connect our local community and inspire others to follow suit.
I prefer she/her and they/them pronouns and I default to using they/them pronouns with new people that don’t specify a preference.
I'm an #artist, #crafter, #organizer, and #designer. In order of most experienced to least, I utilize and teach the following skills: #leatherwork #accessorydesign #handembroidery #chainstitchembroidery #basketweaving #handbuildingclay #bookmaking #printing #surfacedesign #naturaldyeing #felting #spinningyarn #painting #drawing
I like to create, I have a love of aquatic fish, mushrooms, bugs, bones, prismatic colors, texture, line work, anything tufted, and gin is the way to my heart.
I look forward to sharing my creations and offering support with questions about any skillsets that I am able!
Day 1 on Mastodon. I'm a spinner of yarn, avid knitter and enjoy Morris dancing and playing the flute. Looking for communities that are also enthusiastic about #knitting #FolkMusic #morrisdancing and #spinningyarn
Perhaps just create an account on mastodon.social or anywhere local, and then follow hashtags like
New to this server as I was informed my old one was going to go away at some nebulous future time. Still trying to figure out this platform and how to find people to follow. My #hobbies include pretty much anything that has to do with #yarn or #fabric, including a passion for using old sewing machines
(especially hand crank and treadles, primarily Singer these days). #knitting #crochet #weaving #quilting #linenfabric #sewing #sewingclothing #spinningyarn #handcranksewing #treadle #sewingmachines #sewingmachinerepair #introduction #MaineCoonCats #catsofmastodon #cats
Looking for other nerdy folks to follow. If you like #fiberart / #Knitting / #SpinningYarn / #weaving / #sewing #SCA , #history , #whitewolf , #boardgames / #CardGames , #archaelogy , #hiking , #books , #pets etc. Let me know so I can follow you!
