Test-spinning a cable yarn (which is plying two or more plied yarns together), a 2x2 formation for this one. Might go back to the drawing board for the colour distribution of a couple of the singles. Taking a progress photo and realizing belatedly... Having strong colour/aesthetic opinions really mean you keep accidentally matching. The bottom pattern is from my night caftan ie my lap. Yeesh, lol. #handspinner #handspinning #handspun #YarnSpinner #YarnSpinning #handmade #knitting #spindles

In which I am as brief as possible, speaking to one of my biggest peeves — a peeve so big I once wrote an entire book about it

Watch and be amazed I only took 81 seconds.

My new (old) Bulgarian #spindles arrived! This is will be my first time in a while to do supported spinning on pure wood ones - usually I prefer those with a metal tip, for better wear. I got these off of Etsy - with where I'm located, sourcing this sort of thing is still best done there. I thought I was fully sorted on my spindle collection and then... of course I lost one. 2nd pic: my current in-progress. Yes, I'm back on fine lace spinning! #HandSpinning #YarnSpinning #SpindleSpinning #FiberArts

Our study utilizes a unique dataset of simultaneous human and cortical recordings to investigate the relationship between epileptic activity and two of the cardinal sleep oscillations – slow oscillations (0.5 – 2 Hz) and #spindles (9-16 Hz) – generated in the thalamus.

Previous reports suggested that #facial #muscles lack muscle #spindles (that provide info on muscle length & contraction velocity) but this study anatomypubs.onlinelibrary.wile shows human facial muscles contain muscle spindles - Study predicted that humans would have the greatest number, given the role our lips play in speech. But humans & other primates had the lowest number - like it that the findings went against the authors' hypothesis - but what is going on?

Am going to have a go at this introduction thing: My name is Chloë, and I am a bit of a #geek. I enjoy reading a wide range of #books from non fiction and #SciFi and #fantasy. I like crafts: #spinning (#spindles and #SpinningWheel ), #knitting and #crochet. I am also having a go at #quilting. I #run to look after my #MentalHealth , and to spend time #outdoors (am trying to sort out my #garden ). Enjoy #RPGs and currently play #D&D. Hoping to do more #sailing. Also #beekeeper #asexual #cyclist

and also, #spinning question:
if one would do a chain-ply with this 100 grams merino top and had two #spindles, how would you proceed? spin 50 g on one spindle and ply and again? wind several smoler yarnballs and connect them (somehow?) while plying?
