Doll Can Create

• Hi friends! It’s Doll from Doll Can Create.
• Sharing my 100-day spindle spinning challenge.
• A fun and engaging challenge with a group of us.
• Today, I’m spinning fiber that was a Christmas gift.

The Joy of Handspun and Modular Knitting

• Wearing a handspun, modular knit scarf (ENTRALAC pattern).
• Made this scarf years ago—still a favorite.
• Modular knitting is a satisfying and creative process.

Why a 100-Day Challenge?

• Creates space to slow down and breathe.
• Spinning is calming and meditative.
• Establishes a routine—spindle does the work.
• My two goals:
  1. Spin 100+ grams of fiber on a spindle.
  2. Document the journey and share my next steps.
• Storing singles on a jar for plying later.

The Rhythm of Spinning

• Currently on Day 7 of 100.
• Challenge ends as Tour de Fleece begins.
• Tour de Fleece → switch to wheel spinning.
• Spinning is part of my daily routine (morning or refocus time).
• BFL blend fiber with hints of yellow—feels soft and luxurious.

Challenges and Magic in the Process

• Breakage happens—especially while meditating.
• Accidental reverse spinning weakens the twist.
• Drop spindle really does drop sometimes!
• Spinning is a sensory experience:
  • Feel the fiber.
  • Watch the spindle spin.
  • Listen to the soft whir.
• Connects to mindfulness, prayer, and meditation.

My Favorite Spindles

• Lightweight spindle by Nick (cherished piece).
• Heavier spindle with a moose design (great for blending/plying).
• Hand-painted spindle by Annie May (2004, found on eBay)
  • Heavier, good for beginners.
  • Marked an inch for wraps-per-inch checks.
  • My first spindle

The Satisfaction of Handmade Yarn

• Spinning takes time but is deeply rewarding.
• Even imperfect yarn (thick, thin, uneven) is beautiful.
• Handmade yarn is art—you create something unique.
