    And the (dare I say) magnificent homemade Fleece Advent project is complete!

    In which I made myself a Fleece Advent and spun it all up as singles yarn, on supported spindles.

    This post is being typed very hastily at 10:30pm, but part of my goal for this blog is that I don’t pressure myself to only hit “publish” when a piece is perfect or to time posts for maximum engagement. Consider this your bedtime reading, perhaps? I hope you, like me, enjoy going down fibrecraft rabbit…

I'm spinning the fastest and finest singles I've ever managed, on my newly purchased @niddynoddyuk spindle sticks and whorls that came in the mail just this afternoon. 🐒This Jaunty shawl followed me through the entirety of TαΊΏt (Lunar New Year), cast on and bound off on the first and last days of our stay with the family. It's been on airplanes, my parents' dining table, buses, my in-laws' coffee table, car rides, the castle of my table loom for two months waiting to be wetblocked etc. Happy realease day! @veralovesknitting's FENCES SWEATER pattern is out on Ravelry! 🌼🌿 Last December, in my Fleece Advent, the skein of singles yarn from a Bond fleece sample came out from the wash very wavy and I was stumped. And then, a WHOLE THREE MONTHS later, I was browsing through an older @plymagazine article and there was my answer 🀯 πŸŒ€πŸŒ€πŸŒ€ In honour of #SpindleBingo2026 wrapping up, I thought I should share some clips of me spinning some very fine singles, from hand-processed fibre.
