Favourite long wool, short wool, and non-sheep fibre that you spin? Also, do you combine fibres? If so, how do you manage the differently staple lengths? Have you ever prepped an alpaca ‘fleece’?

Lets be honest, a tiara just isn't the goblin core vibe. The pointy hat is perfection.

I'm so glad your bobbin survived the accident! Maybe you could put a wash cloth (? washandje) around the handles of the combs, to prevent your skin from getting irritated? I know that people who use crutches do that sometimes. I actually had a great first week, I went as a reenactor to a medieval castle and spun the whole afternoon on my spindle. It was a lot of fun, me and my friend got to tell some people about how yarn and cloth is made. I also fell in love with my spindle, and one of the other reenactors who is a woodworker gave me a new spindle too!

ooooh, a personally crafted spindle! Reenactment spinning is something on my bucket list. I've done both but never in combination. I will however also be venturing to a castle later this month and plan to take a handspindle with me :D (also, did you know that washandjes are actually only a thing in Belgium and The Netherlands -and some regions around the borders- and that IKEA needs to make them specially for these stores? All the other countries have a "true" wash cloth)

@@MijnWolden i know right! Although he didn't make it especially for me, he made a few some time ago and still had this one laying around, but STILL! It's very lightweight though, I'm not yet friends with it :P Also, I had no idea! Washandjes are so useful!

I’m so glad your bobbin survived surgery! And thank you for keeping things honest and real, we all appreciate it. Hooray for persevering through! Can’t wait to see the yarn 😊 For TDF I am spinning a BFL/mohair blend on supported spindles, a polworth/silk blend on one wheel, and hopefully finishing the first skein of a huge combo spin (1 braid targhee, 1 braid Jacob, and 1 braid I don’t remember it’s been so long 😂)

Glad your bobbin made a full recovery and you were able to keep spinning. The agricultural thingy looks like fun. I hope it started some good conversations. My tdf is going well. I'm working on an old (from 2017) sock spin, so I had to take a couple of days to run the previous bobbin through the wheel again to add some energy back into the yarn. Then came maths 🤯 to figure out what combo of fibres I'd gone with, because past me didn't make notes yet. Now I'm on to the fun part of spinning again, plus more fibre prep. Hoping to maybe have 3 bobbins done by next week, when I have family visit from various parts of the world. Rude of them to demand my time during tdf 🤣

Cannot stress “don’t spin through the pain” enough! I was spinning to a serious deadline after not leaving myself enough time… I could feel the tendon in my thumb was getting badly damaged, but kept spinning. I ended up with really, really bad tendinitis and a cyst over my thumb joint 😭 And couldn’t spin for over two months!
