Formerly @twosmallowls! I spin yarn, read a lot, and edit things for a living.

Sparky is burning the midnight oil finishing up a project. He’s using the fountain pen I presented to him when he graduated from elementary school! https://t.co/jd8wOTQi1q

Day 1 at Rhinebeck! I’m so happy. I got a big oak Bossie that is a joy to spin, delicious fibre, the most amazing light sherry I’ve ever tasted, and the spindle I’ve been hoping to score for over a year. We went… https://t.co/ZxaSaUxYZ0

I did a tonne of work today and decided to do some drum carding on my break. I finally hauled out the Twelve Days of Christmas 2018 set from @hilltopkatie and blended the first packet of pure silk with the 75/25… https://t.co/2at9R3nQTw

And that’s all that is left of the blue BFL/cashmere/silk. I judged it rather well! #knittingwithhandspun https://t.co/mmJjSfqULk

[Foxspun @foxspun]

Working with handspun means that if you run short, you’re out of luck. Sometimes you have to cut a repeat or scale it down, like I’ve had to do with my Drachenfels. I’ve been weighing my blue every couple of rows to… https://t.co/78PXxWAkLW

I have just finished the second bobbin of this lovely @helloyarn Romney lambswool, and look how evenly I split and spun the halves! I’m so impressed. 😆 https://t.co/8k3q8FbgLZ

Superfine Merino to be plied with thread and beads! The workshop I took with spinnybuns at @festivaltwist last weekend has my head buzzing with ideas. This Merino is crazy silky and is a joy to spin. https://t.co/8Ne0CNGZqy

My teeny Electric Eel Nano! It took some tweaking, but the advantage of being later in the shipping order is that everyone else has already figured out what needs to be adjusted for maximum efficiency. As for the… https://t.co/5TIwfijgx2

Sometimes you’re just ridiculously proud of the centre-pull ball you’ve wound on a nostepinne. https://t.co/UY8N0l7k3u

Very popular. https://t.co/tOHkYSI2P3

I washed the rest of Lucinda’s fleece this week and laid it out to dry. It’s popular. https://t.co/5SJc8plsil

My total Tdf2019 output! I’m really happy with it. It’s all @hilltopkatie fiber except for the Nest singles in the lower left corner. https://t.co/P8xNlilcv9

[Foxspun @foxspun]

Two of my TDF2019 yarns bracketing a yarn I spun earlier, all to be used in a shawl together. Wow; I am super impressed with my colour matching! https://t.co/gHqaHwm3H2

My finished two-ply of @hilltopkatie’s TdF colourway, Pays du Galles on Cambrian wool. A lovely spin! https://t.co/mZFJwNVZ8A

[Foxspun @foxspun]

I’ve spun the first ounce of my Hilltop Cloud TdF braid, Pays du Galles, on Cambrian wool (Welsh x BFL). I’m in love with these colours. https://t.co/jPMOSvgijj

Day one of the #TdF2019! I’m co-captaining #TeamClanKromskitdf2019. I plied the Merino/flax/silk from nestfiber (May 2019 club, She Sells Seashells), and started my @hilltopkatie spin! It’s my oldest HIlltop Cloud… https://t.co/nQIjVOCcGM

[Foxspun @foxspun]

I sampled a bit of this glorious Merino/flax/silk from nestfiber last night. It’s amaaaazing. https://t.co/lgTjC95lyN

[Foxspun @foxspun]

Winding off some singles yarn because I ran out of bobbins. Oops. This is Stop the Pigeon from @helloyarn, Falkland that was a dream to spin. https://t.co/KAmTGuIUHi
