goblin jane 🍄<p>three good things:</p><p>1) i had a few chocolate chips about an hour ago and now i am frantically planning on cleaning and dying a fleece that's been in my garage since 2023. i have a wee bit of inspiration to dye small bits of wool in various colors and then use them for embroidery on another project that's been languishing for a while.</p><p>chocolate chips as instant motivation? maybe! i'm not sure how long this energy will last, but i'll take it. lol</p><p>2) i still have fairy lights in my front window and they are the special kind that flash along with whatever music is playing nearby. i may never take them down. sorry neighbors. 😌 </p><p>3) did i mention that i ate a very small handful of chocolate chips? because i'm not used to that amount of caffeine (or like, any caffeine, lolol) so i am kinda spinning my wheels here. but they were pretty good and i have now reached my caffeine quota for the year. 🎉 </p><p><a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/ThreeGoodThings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ThreeGoodThings</span></a> <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/3GoodThings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>3GoodThings</span></a> <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/Today" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Today</span></a> <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/Chocolate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Chocolate</span></a> <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/FairyLights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FairyLights</span></a> <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/Spinning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Spinning</span></a> <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/HandDyeing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HandDyeing</span></a> <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/FiberArts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FiberArts</span></a> <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/MidnightSpinningProjects" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MidnightSpinningProjects</span></a> <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/JustATinyBitHyper" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>JustATinyBitHyper</span></a></p>
Auridon Yarns (Sophie)First post here on PixelFed and just throwing a picture of my latest dyeing adventure out there: alpaca! It’s sooo soft and - contrary to what I learned from others - it takes dye VERY well. I nearly had to wear sunglasses when I checked out the yarn after dyeing because the colour was so bright. Anyway, if you’re a yarnie like me, please give me a like and follow! <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/yarn?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#yarn</a> # knitting <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/crochet?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#crochet</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/handdyeing?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#handdyeing</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/alpaca?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#alpaca</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/indiedyer?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#indiedyer</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/knitknitknit?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#knitknitknit</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/knitselfed?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#knitselfed</a>
Sand Hill Thicket<p>I've raided all the dyed roving and locks that I have to find something to spin! I'm afraid I'll forget how to or lose momentum and then I won't spin for a long time and for sure forget how!

Elizenery<p>Progress on the raw fleece to hoody project. Decided to finish the color work on the sleeves first before moving on to the rest of the body. This ensures the darkest color will match. I will alternate it with the next cake when closer to finishing the first. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/WIPWednesday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WIPWednesday</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/knitting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>knitting</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/handspinning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>handspinning</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/handdyeing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>handdyeing</span></a></p>

goblin jane 🍄<p>it turned out super lovely!! this is my sample, so i'm swatching it to see how it pools, but so far i think the only thing i'll need to tweak is making the blue sections longer and that will take care of itself with the full sized hanks. 🎉 </p><p>sometimes it's super lovely to spin dyed roving, but it's just as fun to spin it undyed and play with colors afterwards!</p><p><a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/spinning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>spinning</span></a> <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/yarn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>yarn</span></a> <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/dyeing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dyeing</span></a> <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/fiberart" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fiberart</span></a> <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/fibreart" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fibreart</span></a> <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/knitting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>knitting</span></a> <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/handspinning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>handspinning</span></a> <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/handdyeing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>handdyeing</span></a> <a href="https://pagan.plus/tags/today" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>today</span></a></p>
