I came across a bunch of my photos of yarns from @allisonbarnesyarn.bsky.social and felt wildly nostalgic for the days I spent capturing new shop stock. Her colours are 🤩 and 😍 with a bit of 💥. I’m feeling sooooo much better today. 💪 #Yarnsky 🧶 #art #FibreArts #Knitsky
Started a new sweater. Tata Matilda by marziasknit. The striping colour is my handspun yarn spun from a braid of “Campfire Nights” on 100% targhee from @craftythatway.bsky.social The light peach colour is a lighter version of “Curiosity” on 80% Targhee/20% alpaca from Rosebud River Fibre Mill.

Pink and Orange handspun merino now available. This one is sport weight. I have a personal skein of handspun I plan to use in a colourwork sweater.
I have a favourite darning needle. It just feels right.
You know that shawl I’m working on? I finished the skein, but I didn’t finish the shawl.
Currently knitting the Spring Thing shawl. I’ll be cutting my hair soon and will need to keep my neck warm.
