I love the colour of your hand spun. Can’t wait to see what you make with it. Enjoy your weekend.

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Thanks so much - I am very pleased with it xx

[@susandusterhoft]

Just love your yarn color and your story! We crafters must be alike. If you could only see the state of my floors. My goodness, I am not a very good cleaner at all. Thank goodness for a very forgiving husband! Have a great weekend!

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Hi Susan. I take the view that if Himself wants it to be cleaner, he knows where the vacuum is! Thanks so much and take care xx

[@flameandfiberpodcast3162]

That film sounds very interesting!! I love to see the yarn you've spun. This blue yarn is really lovely!!

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Thanks - it was a very interesting film - lots to think about xx

[@sheridenlomax325]

Snap! Two weeks ago we had a new shower pump fitted and also have a tank in an airing cupboard. Yes a lot of dust! 🫣 😂 Your yarn is a lovely colour. Have a good weekend.

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Ha! That's amazing! Glad it's not just me. Thanks and have a good weekend xx

[@jackiewalsh3869]

Loved the idea of spinning the dust.😂 When we had cob webs in the corners, my grandmother called it Irish Lace. 😊

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Hi Jackie. That makes it sound much better xx hope all is well with you xx

[@valeriebishop561]

Ahhhahaha! I finally vaccumed behind our headboard on the carpet in our room. After gosh knows how long. It was spinnable too!!!

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Ha! Some places just accumulate this stuff, don't they? Thanks and take care xz

[@summerking8659]

Got a giggle Lesley when you started to talk about the hotpress as I thought you were going to say you found a forgotten about bag of yarn…. :-)

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Hi Muireann. I think that's one of the few places that I haven't stored it!😀 Thanks and take care xx

[@VisitWithNanaAndPapa]

Thank you my friend

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Hope you are both ok and having fun xx

[@louisewall7100]

Your yarn is gorgeous. Can’t wait to see what you make with it. Back in the UK now - and jet-lagged 🤦🏼‍♀️. Lovely as always catching up with you xx

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Hi Louise Glad you are safely home and hope you had a great time xx Thanks and take care xx

[@melsmith5833]

I enjoy listening to your video while stitching as you are so down to earth and friendly. I hate house cleaning so your dust story doesn't bother a bit. I would rather do yard work!! Thanks for the good company, 🙂

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Thanks Mel. You might not say that if you saw our yard! Hope all us well with you xx

[@melsmith5833]

@@NotQuiteEnoughYarn Mine is also in need, but I am working on it...😅🙂

[@knitspingirlcreations]

I've thought about trying to spin dryer lint as well as dust bunnies. Although really, my dust bunnies are more like dust bisons. 🤣

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Haha! Sounds like they need wrestling, not spinning. Drier lint spinning? Why not - fabric fibres, after all xx Thanks and take care xx

[@diannedesroches2672]

I just knew you were gonna say what you thought about the dust!!! Omg,I laughed!😂

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Phew - I am glad it's not just me! Thanks and take care xx

[@joelwilliams5634]

Your hand spun is gorgeous. I hope you have a great time at the guild meeting and make some new fiber friends. Have a great week see you next Friday. Oh and I got my arm out of my sling so much more knitting will be done!! Just physical therapy left to do. Stay well

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Hi Joel - so glad to hear that the sling has gone. Hope the PT goes well and you are able to incorporate knitting into the exercises!. Take good care xx

[@heathertucker7056]

Your blue hand spun looks such a pretty colour on camera. I’m sure we shall see that in a project in due course! Sorry you were a little disappointed in the craft and food fair. It does happen some times! I’m sure my airing cupboard would be just the same although I did have a clear out recently - needs must! Take care and have a good week x

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Thanks Heather. It was a nice morning out to the fair - and the cheese was good! Hope you are keeping well xx

[@VisitWithNanaAndPapa]

Love the handspun

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Thank you xx

[@angelaholcroft4515]

Hi Lesley, I hope you're well . Shame about the craft fair. We went to a craft and flea market held in Manchester cathedral. It was very small compared to yarn shows. Stands selling a variety of pottery, candles , soap, etc. I bought a lovely project bag, which was very well made and reasonably priced. Under priced, really. Lots of wonderwool prep happening here. Have a lovely weekend. Take care. X

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Hi Angela. That sounds like a lovely venue for a craft/flea market, too! Good luck at Wonderwool - hope it's successful and a lot of fun xx

[@NadineTouzet]

Hi Lesley, I don’t have carpeting in my new house, only light greyish white tiles and I’ve finally realised how much fluff all my knitting and textile-related crafts are producing. Much more than the usual dust bunnies (not that I can’t live with all that fluff, but it shows and I can’t ignore it now). Have a wonderful weekend, hoping you have better weather across the channel xx

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Hi Nadine - so I guess you're carpeting as you go? The fluff does get everywhere, doesn't it? Hope you had a good weekend. Take care xx

[@NadineTouzet]

@@NotQuiteEnoughYarn hi Lesley. As a matter of fact I’m not and probably never will. I have underfloor heating and I don’t even know how compatible it would be. Also I lived with carpeting for 30 odd years in my old house and hated it in the end. So difficult to keep really clean and after a while you have to change it, such a hassle. Not to speak of the pets, both when young and old! So I had tiling put in the entire house, the builder was surprised I didn’t even want wood floorboards in the bedrooms. Don’t think I’m obsessed with cleaning but I’m borderline allergic to dust and the rest of it. So I do put in rugs when and as I feel the need. Easier to keep clean with my advancing age! Have a great week. It’s literally freezing here. Take care! xx

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

@@NadineTouzet I understand your choices, entirely - even when it's chilly! Take care xx

[@pip-woollycwtches]

Hi Lesley. I had the same. Our central heating broke so had to empty the airing cupboard. 🫣🙀 having 2 cats that like to sleep in there. My dust fluff was more in line with felt 😝😖. But boy does it look clean and tidy now 💪. 🤣🤣 xx

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Ha - but have the cats forgiven you for cleaning out their area? They'd spent ages getting that comfy! Hope all is well xx

[@pip-woollycwtches]

The aren’t happy with me because i washed and cleaned everything and then vacuum packed up the thing i wasn’t using regularly to keep them clean. So i am in the dog house for now 🙈🤪

[@lindas.patton7552]

Your spun yarn is beautiful.

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Thanks Linda. Good to see you at the weekend xx

[@lindas.patton7552]

@@NotQuiteEnoughYarn Yes, it was good to see you too. I enjoy that group so much. It has been rainy and just stormy today. Our usual.

[@FirnMamaMakes]

❤❤❤

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Thank you xx

[@susandorrington7623]

Hahaha! My mother used to say that dust doesn't get any thicker after 3 months! (Well, of course, I had to test this point, didn't I? Now I can say that I am waiting until the dust makes a spinable quantity.)

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Hi Susan. It's important to conduct these experiments- only in the interest of science, of course. 😉 Thanks and take care xx

[@stitchitch7010]

Hmm, I think wanting to spin cobwebs means you have a chronic case of fibre fever 😂 Heidi headed to her warm nest after being outside, poor little princess 🐾 Hope your fibre meeting goes well! Take care dearie😘

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Thanks so much. Heidi loves the garden, but not quite as much as she loves blankets and the radiator! (I'm much the same, myself). Hope all is well - thanks and take care xx

[@suzanrudulph4141]

Beautiful yarn. Can't wait to see it worked up. ❤

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Thank you - it feels nice and soft, too. Cheers and take care xx

[@nwadtrah]

That must be where dust jackets come from…🤪

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Ba boom tsh! Good one! Cheers xx

[@marywanamaker2700]

The yarn is beautiful. We all have those areas in the house we don’t get to clean too often. Have a great weekend!

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Hi Mary. That is very true - and always the good intention to do them more often. Take care and hope life is treating you kindly xx

[@angelahasenhundl8871]

We called those balls of fluff "dust bunnies". When my children were young I always knew that I needed to vacuum when I heard my son blowing them down the hallway. 🤣 Not such a good housekeeper when they get that big. Love your spinning. ♥ Have a great weekend.

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Thanks Angela - housekeeping is for people who don't craft. Hope all is well with you xx

[@knittingbandit8493]

You dont half make me laugh with your dust fibre thinking. Half of what l spin is usually my hair

[@NotQuiteEnoughYarn]

Ha! It must add lovely structure to your yarn! Xx thanks and take care xx
