Looking for a cowl that's well suited to poofy wools like Targhee, Rambouillet and has a potato chippy pattern with just the right mix of set it and forget it stockinette and some purl texture to break it up? Then go grab new cowl design Athleisure - written for HipStrings Targhee Worsted and Targhee Sport and easily adapted to handspun (shown here in This is Fine) Link in bio.

Hand spinning for the win! I ran out of my millspun Buoy Mussels fi*****ng for this vest, but I still had more of the original fiber. So I was able to spin a matching 2 ply so that I can finish this vest!

New wood option coming soon for our tools! This 1/8" laminated birch is strong and laser etches well.

Can't find a reusable mop pad at a reasonable price, so I'm using up cotton scraps to crochet one.
