Paws 2 Spindle

Paws2Spindle@sunny.garden

<p>After living with huskies for 2+ decades, we decided to do something with all the fur that we&#39;ve collected over the years: spin it into yarn! Then knit it! More huskies and their outdoor adventures can be found over at <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mountains.social/@Paws2Trail" class="u-url mention">@<span>Paws2Trail</span></a></span>.</p><p>Icon: a cartoon husky with bi-colored eyes winds yarn he&#39;s just spun onto a Turkish spindle.

    Starting on #TourDeFleece Stage #1 I finished off 2.5 oz of 50:50 Husky:wool blend on the e-spinner. This is 390yd of ~30-40 wpi singles which I plan to ply 2:1 with 100% husky yarn, spun on my Turkish spindle, trying to work up to 20 wpi. My goal is to pair this with my ~20 wpi heather gray 100% Rio husk yarn in a double-knit pattern. Also spent time preparing and organizing a month&#39;s worth of spinning to come! I have plenty of projects to keep me busy. #TDF2026 #Chiengora

    RE: https://sunny.garden/@Paws2Spindle/116961470705350878 Question for fiber folks about moths: Last night, I forgot I had these skeins out drying until after dark. When I went to bring them in, a moth flew up from one of the skeins. These are a blend of wool and dog fur. Should I be worried that the moth might have laid eggs in the yarn? Should I throw them in the freezer or do something more drastic? I&#39;m keeping them well separate from the rest of my stash for now. #Yarn #FiberArts #Ha...

    I have defeated the Yarn Chicken! Yesterday it was nearly 80F/27C* and I finally finished the Harlow Worsted hat I&amp;#39;ve been working on the last couple of months of winter. I&amp;#39;m really happy with how it turned out! This should go nicely with the Wheat Scarf that I made using the same golden colored yarn. It&amp;#39;s taller than the one I made with Oni&amp;#39;s fur so I can get better ear coverage while still folding up the brim for contrast, and I think I got the height spot on...
