Remember that huge bobbin of White Merino I spun on Starla and Navajo plied on Bumbles? I used the Tie Dye technique I learned from Suzy’s article in the first issue of tinyStudio Creative Life Magazine to dye the whole 9.8 oz skein! I was pretty darn nervous about dyeing such a huge skein but WOW! I’m extremely pleased with the results. This skein is a monster! Had to include @charansachar’s Anniversary edition mug in the shot to give you all a sense of size. 😂 Starling Mini made by me and designed by @daedalusspinningwheels. #daedalusspinningwheels #spottedewefibers #electricspinningwheel #spinnersofinstagram #spinstagram #espinner #spinningyarn #handspunstagram #igspinners #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #fiberyfun365 #starlingspinner #fiberygoodness #tinystudiocreativelifemagazine #tinystudioCreativeLife #tinyStudio

In my @plymagazine article “Spin It! Across a Flock of Turkish Spindles” I spun across the full gamut of Jenkins Turkish from my 41 gram Swan all the way down to my 3.28 gram Bee Hummingbird. This is one of my absolute favorite ways to spin on my Turkish Spindles. ❤️ Stay tuned to #SpinItAcrossaFlockofTurkishSpindles for in-progress photos of this project. #plymagazine #writingforplymagazine #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #fiberyfun365 #turkishspindle #jenkinsturkishspindle #greenwoodfiberworks #supportthespinningcommunity

Sample spinning for my @plymagazine article “Spin It! Across a Flock of Turkish Spindles”. This article and project goes through my process of how I spin full projects across all of my Jenkins Turkish Spindles no matter their sizes. Here is a Swan, Kuchulu, and Bee Hummingbird all spinning the same singles.

Super awesome umbrella swift FTW that can handle the big 3 yard skeins my @akerworks prototype Super Skeiner/Yarn Winder/ Wonder Skeiner can make! Getting ready to hand wind 9.8 oz! 😭This is going to take awhile but at least I can enjoy the outdoors while I do this. This skein was spun entirely on one bobbin on my Starling Mini and then Navajo plied on one bobbin on my Starling XL. #daedalusspinningwheels #electricspinningwheel #spinnersofinstagram #spinstagram #espinner #spinningyarn #handspunstagram #igspinners #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #fiberyfun365 #starlingspinner

Getting ready to wind the monster skein of handspun I spun on my Starling Mini and hand dyed myself into a ball to start knitting with. It’s ginormous!!! It weighs 9.8 oz. I better get the yardage real quick before I hand wind this pretty on a nostepinne. I know it’s going to make me wish I had a ball winder. Plants in the square pots are my cotton fiberlings. Yarn was dyed using @woolwench’s tie dye technique she wrote about in Issue 1 of tinyStudio Creative Life Magazine. #daedalusspinningwheels #electricspinningwheel #spinnersofinstagram #spinstagram #espinner #spinningyarn #handspunstagram #igspinners #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #fiberyfun365 #starlingspinner

Over the past several months I've been putting my Starlings to the test and getting to know them as best as I can for a review I was writing up for tinyStudio Creative Life Magazine. It has been such a joy working with my two Starlings and writing up this review. Thanks so much @daedalusspinningwheels for giving me a sneak peek before these amazing wheels went public and for making it possible for me to spin with these incredible spinners. This will be in Issue 3 which will be available to our tinyStudio Subscribers later today. 😁 #daedalusspinningwheels #spottedewefibers #electricspinningwheel #spinnersofinstagram #spinstagram #espinner #spinningyarn #handspunstagram #igspinners #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #fiberyfun365 #starlingspinner #fiberygoodness #tinystudiocreativelifemagazine #tinystudioCreativeLife #tinyStudio

I love how easy it is to take beautiful photos of this spinner! It has such elegant lines and the black lets the color of the spinning pop. 💚 Fiber is BFL/Silk dyed by @spottedewefibers in the colorway Ariel. will be included in a tinyStudio TV episode.

O M G I found the real life @lucas_the_spider!!!!! Big beautiful jumper with orange rims around the eyes just like Lucas! I found it while tending to my plants on the deck. Brought it inside so I could take photos and wow was it a friendly fella. I tried to give it a crane fly snack and it jumped on my hand and leisurely wandered on my arms for awhile completely calm and friendly like. I may need to setup an indoor home for this one too. It’s huge! Much larger than all the others I’ve found around here at 8-9mm. I believe it’s a Platycryptus californicus, possibly a male but seems quite large for a male. #jumpingspider #salticidae #platycryptuscalifornicus #platycryptus #jumpingspidersofinstagram #spider #spidersofinstagram

Here’s a better view sans Lucas for my friends who don’t like spiders no matter how adorable Lucas is. I’ve been busy finishing up this spin and making sure my Starling Espinner Review was all good to go for the next issue of tinyStudio Creative Life Magazine which comes out this week!

My second article for the upcoming issue of @plymagazine on Suspended Spindles is about Ed Jenkins! I cannot say enough good things about Ed and Wanda Jenkins. The spindles Ed makes are the very reason why I got back into spindle spinning after I had stopped when I got my first wheel and for that, I will be forever grateful. This issue is going to have a lot on Turkish Spindles! #plymagazine #writingforplymagazine #handspunstagram #spinstagram #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #handspun #handspunyarn #fiberfeature #wemakeyarn #fiberyfun365 #turkishspindle #jenkinsturkishspindle #supportthespinningcommunity

SQUEE!!! I'm so excited for the upcoming issue of @plymagazine all about Suspended Spindles. I've seen the lineup and it's going to be an incredible issue. I have two articles both near and dear to my heart. The first one Spin It! Across a Flock of Turkish Spindles is focused on my favorite way to spin on my flock of Turkish spindles leaving no spindle behind no matter their size! I know many of you here have seen my Spin on All the Things big Jenkins spins. The spin I did for this article went above and beyond my prior spins to include my little 3.28g Bee Hummingbird! I hope you all will enjoy the article! Stay tuned to #SpinItAcrossaFlockofTurkishSpindles for in-progress photos of this project soon.

So um I went a bit quiet here over the past few days with my photo challenges. This is the reason why. On Friday I saw a post in a Vivarium group I'm in on Facebook. It was a small enclosure for a Jumping spider. I was completely in awe and was so fascinated and inspired about the possibility of keeping a Jumping Spider as a pet. I've always loved them, they are such curious little spiders. I spent the next hour or so looking over various websites and groups about raising them, seeing everyone's set ups, and finding @bigfatphids which has a ton of awesome photos of great set ups and spiders. I knew this was something I would have so much fun putting together and enjoy watching the little spider in its little vivarium. On Saturday I found a Jumper on our car and knew right away I wanted to set up a Vivarium right now! I found this container and designed and printed the two part top mesh lid. All the materials I found around our yard. If this works out well I hope to do another set up and get a Regal or Daring from @bigfatphids. 🕷❤#jumpingspider #vivarium #vivariumsofinstagram #spider #lucasthespider

First off I apologize to my friends who aren’t fond of buggies. I found this super cool fella at Farrel Mcwhirter Farm Park. It’s a yellow-spotted millipede (Harpaphe haydeniana) — AKA almond-scented millipede, AKA cyanide millipede. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a millepede this large. I saw two on our hike but the other one was sadly stepped on. Hope I’ll find some more next time around. #bugsofinstagram #millipedesofinstagram #millipede #yellowspottedmillipede
