I will have been missing my spinning wheel, so I was so happy that today was spinning study group day. I had all my goods loaded in the car, and then I started feeling rotten - I hate it when flares come on suddenly! So I ended up coming home, having a hot shower, heating pad, medication, and am determined to spin just a little of the fiber I got from the farm in Pennsylvania. I don’t know how much I am actually going to get spun, but here is some really thin wool and mohair blend. I am going for a fingering weight once it’s plied, and then I will dye it... what colors would you recommend? . . #makermovement #spinyourownyarn #handspunyarn #spinnersofinstagram #indiedyer #indiedyersofinstagram #honeybeespinningwheel #woolmohairblend #thebluestarboutique #thebsbcraftingcommunity #makerlife #yarnporn #yarnlove

Whenever I dye yarn, or heck even sometimes when you buy it off the shelf, it’s hard to know exactly what the fabric will look like when you actually use the yarn. When I created my Pool Party colorway, I just went with it, because I thought the arrangement of the colors was cute. But now that I am actually working with it... OOOH LA LA! I am in LOVE with it! It is pooling in a way that it still is somewhat self-striping, even though I didn’t warp/dye it that way! It totally makes me happy!!! Have you had good or bad experiences with a yarn working up different than you thought it would? . . #knitlife #handknitsocks #indiedyer #indiedyersofinstagram #knitpicksstroll #colorpooling #selfstripingyarn #knitallthesocks #fingeringweightyarn #thebluestarboutique #thebsbcraftingcommunity #bestsockyarnever #makermovement #yarnmakestheworldgoround #yarnporn

Ever go through phases where you just can’t stop creating a particular pattern or project type? Right now I’m hooked on socks! This pair is @knit_picks Stroll in the Razzleberry colorway for the toes and my own hand dyed colorway Pool Party for the rest of the socks. . My supervisor loves this combo - do you agree? . . #knitlife #handknitsocks #makermovement #bestsockyarnever #indiedyer #indiedyedyarn #knitpicksstroll #addictedtosockknitting #sockknittersofinstagram #indiedyersofinstagram #thebluestarboutique #thebsbcraftingcommunity #handdyedyarn #knitallthesocks

I am totes digging these socks! If you are in the market for good quality, comfy sock yarn, I HIGHLY recommend @knit_picks Stroll... even when I dye my own, I use bare Stroll... it’s seriously my fave! . . Have you ever worn hand knit socks??? They are ahhhhmazing! . . #knitlife #fishlipskissheel #handknitsocks #makermovement #bestsockyarnever #knitpicksstroll #knitallthesocks #totesmagotes #happyfeet #yarnaddiction #yarnlove #thebluestarboutique #thebsbcraftingcommunity #toeupsocks #taatsocks #twoatatimesocks
