I love this one 🤗
Materials: wool, silk, recycled cotton rope and velvet. Includes hand-dyed and hand-spun art yarn. Beading sewn on by hand, and I made the mushrooms out of polymer clay.

This blanket is a monster. I had no idea how big it was going to turn out. This is it on a king sized bed. Not the best photo but I was so excited to finish it I just had to share. Tomorrow, assuming the weather is good for it, I'll get some better photos in the sun.

I tried so hard to keep it all on one bobbin, but unfortunately my wheel seems bound by the laws of physics.

My next project. I'm in the middle of pre-drafting the purple, so this isn't all of it, but it's good enough for a photo!
The purple is Merino from Frabjous Fibers. It's a little felty from sitting in my stash for four years, but it should spin up just fine.
The purple/pink/orange is a Corriedale/Rambouillet/Columbian blend from Shaky K Fibers. Unfortunately they don't seem to still be around (this one's also been waiting it's turn on the wheel for around four years), but I've always loved their wool, so I'm glad to have this one to spin.

Traveling for work, so a new pair of socks started. Yarn is hand spun worsted three ply merino nylon dyed by me in blue/green.

She spins! Guinevere spins!
So named because I used King Arthur Baking twine to get her rigged up enough to spin yarn.

My first handspun piece! I learned so much and there's so much more still to know, I'm excited

In 2017 I started learning how to dye raw fleeces. This was my first ever dye pot on a blue faced Leicester x wensleydale fleece.

As someone that loves to knit around, I'm utterly enamoured by the yarn bobbin secured to the chatelaine!
My current box of WIP knitting projects. I may have,,,,, discovered a few more when cleaning the craft room WHOOP

I’m at a party
I should add that space is a bit of a concern for me, so a standard non folding floor loom unfortunately has too big of a footprint for me at the moment... but the other one I had my eye on was the Harrisville T4, which has double the weaving width. I just don't have enough experience to know if I should save up for the bigger one, or get the less expensive one now 😖
It folds up really well, even with a weaving project on it !!!! I loveeeeee mine and it compacts in my craft room well, it's a very good/forgiving loom for beginners and it is easy to get tension even. At that price, it's an absolute *steal* I would say go for it!!!!!
Especially is space is a concern I would really consider what big project plans you have for the future, because it only has a weaving width of 15". If you want to do wider cloth I would look into the Harrisville, but if you want to do scarves or like I use mine for bag fabric/demoing, it's a very solid pick.
