It's pretty much all about Gulf Coast sheep, cats, and food over here... Life of a smallholder on the prairie in northeastern Kansas. Grow Zone 6a. https://www.sandhill-thicket.com

I'm trying to spin DK or smaller. This is my first try on the high speed whorl.

Mulberry season is in full swing here! ๐Ÿ˜…

I guess I'm done #HandSpinning #yarn for fun (except for a 3-ply, haven't done that yet). Instead, I probably need to pick a pattern and then spin yarn for the pattern.

I've been wanting to #crochet a kitty couch for a long time. The pattern calls for 364 yards of one color and 236 yards of another.

The average length of my #HandSpun yarns is 75 yards. ๐Ÿฅด๐Ÿ˜ณ

Whatever color I make the couch out of, I'm going to need to spin MANY bobbins worth... #wool #FiberArts #CatCouch #CatsOfMastodon

New #roving color as I ran out of the first color. No time to stop and #comb #wool! ๐Ÿ˜† I'm on a roll! I'm determined to figure out how to do this! ๐Ÿคจ

I really have no clue what I'm doing. I feel like I stop and start all the time and that I'm on a freaking stair-stepper.

Went to check on the #bees since it's been in the teens at night and in the 30s during the day, we just had snow, but their doorway is blocked by dead bodies. I thumped the side and I could hear them start buzzing.

I think they're using the bodies to block the cold and wind out...๐Ÿค” Fascinating. #beekeeping

#Spring #garden under the mesh looking good. Just planted the normal cabbages in the foreground (a little late). Everything mulched with #wool. Supposed to get some good rain in the next few days! Can't wait for cabbage! #GardeningMastodon #GrowYourOwn #Food
