Fall Spinning

Fall is upon us. All summer I dream about spinning. I get excited and inspired. I run to my spinning wheel ready to make beautiful yarn. My hands sweat, and the fibers stick to me everywhere, and I remember why I don't spin in the summer. It sadly all gets put away again until the temperatures drop below 65. This is why I love Fall so much in the Pacific Northwest.
I am very much an outdoors kind of gal. If I can be outside when the sun is shining I feel like I am accomplishing life. Heck! If I can be outdoors when it is overcast, but not raining I feel happier. I stick to knitting small cotton things or socks over the summer. It's my season for sewing, and painting, and planting. I always feel like I'm missing something though. So when the temperatures drop and I start getting my itch to spin again, I remember the joy making yarn brings me.

This is my fall project. It's quiet and simple on my low energy body. This is a Yak/Merino blend. It has a catchy name: Red. I love it. It is the color I will knit my Midsummer Rose Shawl with. I have beads and thread waiting patiently. It's been 1 year in the making now since summer and my health put everything on hold. That's ok though. Slow and steady wins the race, and spinning is supposed to be fun right?

Remember our Lil' Bits Kick Spindle?

This has been our biggest seller!!! Thank you to everyone who has bought and left feedback.  Everyone has been so gracious.

Due to request for increased cop capacity, Maria has decided to only make a 16" spindle. This sucker is small enough to travel, completely collapsible, won't cost you an arm and a leg to learn to spin, weighs in at 2lbs, and will easily hold 2ozs of spun fiber!! 

Each one is designed and hand crafted by our very own spinner, Maria. Therefore, if you have any questions, comments, or concerns about your Lil' Bits, just contact us at anytime. Customer satisfaction is our TOP priority!! 

Grab our bits before they're gone. 

And remember, got a bit you would personally like to see? Place a custom order at our ETSY SHOP.

Until next week,
