When Weaving with Singles Works | Wool n’ Spinning, ep. 344

Dear Spinning Circle,

Welcome All. There has been much buzz around Casa de la Wool n’ Spinning regarding the end of summer and beginning of school. In the midst of all the discussion, though, there has been making! Oh, has there been making. Pulling stashed singles out, I measured and wove a length of fabric for a tank from Get Weaving with Sarah. The community started a grassroots SPAKAL for the All Seasons Vest by Noriko Ichikawa. There’s been more Stashdown spinning from The Bin, of course, and a couple of new projects. Let’s jump in!

If you’re curious about joining the Wool n’ Spinning community and wondering where to begin, I’ve written a simple Start Here guide.

Spindle Spun Season is still continuing until the Autumnal Equinox & Spring Solstice (depending on your hemisphere).

Casting on for the All Seasons Vest SPAKAL commensed on August 17. This SPAKAL will run through to October! Share your progress here.

All Seasons Vest SPAKAL has kicked off! It will run through October 5th – some spun during TdF/TdFF and some are just starting now. Others have chosen to knit in commercial or stashed yarn. You choose! There will be some Zooms coming up through out September to keep us going – watch for those.

SKEINED!

Stashdown Bin No. 1 for 2026 – started with 15 braids of handpainted combed top. Officially down to last 3 braids:

SweetGeorgia Yarns silf puff in ‘rogue’ (1 braid, may become 2 courtesy of Rebecca)
SweetGeorgia Yarns SW BFL in ‘bourbon’ (1 braid)
Into the Whirled SW Targhee in ‘Moscow Mule’ (1 braid)

There are 2-3 more bins like this one that had approximately 15-18 braids in them. The plan will be to finish this bin off and move onto the next, and the next with the plan to have all of them finished by the end of 2028.
