For anyone who’s been eyeing that beautiful dyed green cotton I’ve been spinning, I’m excited to say that @longdrawjames’s shop @ashenflock on Etsy reopened today after being on hiatus over the holidays. There’s a wee bit of dyed cotton left among other beautiful fibers. #igspinnersinspiration #spinningyarn #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #spinstagram #wemakeyarn #handspun #handspunyarn #handspunwool #handspunstagram #spinnersoftheworld #spinnersofravelry #handspinnersofinstagram #handspinning #handspinner #handspinnersofig #ashenflock #handdyedcotton #spinningcotton 
Taking a trip down memory lane. On January 15th, 2019 @daedalusspinningwheels reached to me about testing their latest creation the Starling. The next day Dave offered the idea of possibly allowing me to print and assemble my own Starling as he was overloaded in preparing for launch. Two days later on the 18th I was printing what would eventually be named Starla the Starling Mini. I am so incredibly thankful for Dave taking a leap of faith for trusting me with his precious print files. Since then I’ve assembled 9 Daedalus birds and given tons of feedback both as a spinner and maker. I’ve watched Dave grow so much over these past two years and I am so proud to be able to play a part in that growth. ❤️ #daedalusspinningwheels #daedalusstarling #StarlingMini #spinwithdaedalus #madewithdaedalus #teamdaedalus #electricspinner #espinner #electricspinningwheel #spinningwheel #igspinnersinspiration #spinningyarn #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #spinstagram #wemakeyarn #handspun #handspunyarn #handspunwool #handspunstagram #spinnersoftheworld #spinnersofravelry #handspinnersofinstagram #handspinning #handspinner #handspinnersofig #fiberfeature #fiberyfun365 #Spin15aday 
Here’s the finished 8.5 oz skein next to Dandillion. I still need to wash it which will relax it quite a bit. After that I’ll see if it needs to go back through for a wee bit more twist. Fiber is 14.5 Micron Merino/White Eri/Gold Angelina in the colorway Holy Hibiscus dyed by @spottedewefibers. Spun on Dandillion my Starling V3. #daedalusspinningwheels #spottedewefibers #daedalusstarling #StarlingV3 #spinwithdaedalus #teamdaedalus #electricspinner #espinner #electricspinningwheel #spinningwheel #igspinnersinspiration #spinningyarn #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #spinstagram #wemakeyarn #handspunyarn #handspunstagram #handspinnersofinstagram #handspinning #handspinner #handspinnersofig #fiberfeature #fiberyfun365 #Spin15aday 
Oh My SQUEEEEE!!!!!!! Finally after waiting at least 3 months for this cotton boll to open it’s finally cracked! The growing cycle is so bad for cotton here in the Pacific Northwest. I’m hoping to cut my remaining two plants back in hopes I can get them to continue to grow and produce better in the future. This is the first time I’ve seen a Bill get this big and actually shown signs of being productive. Fingers crossed it continues and that I’ll have a successful boll of cotton to harvest. #igspinnersinspiration #spinningyarn #igspinners #spinnersofinstagram #spinstagram #wemakeyarn #handspun #handspunyarn #handspunwool #handspunstagram #spinnersoftheworld #spinnersofravelry #handspinnersofinstagram #handspinning #handspinner #handspinnersofig #fiberfeature #fiberyfun365 #Spin15aday #growingcotton #cottonboll
