Jacin's Fiber Art

It's gonna be pretty close I think.

Counting gross sales and table cost, I sold more than I spent. Net income, I spent a bit more (but not as much as I thought) than I made.

But considering I generally spend around that amount at each sale, I'll consider that a great win.

Here's some of what I got. This was Friday's haul. The scarf is supposedly cashmere, but even if it's not, it's so soft and warms up nice and fast. It's also long enough to use as a head wrap, which I love.

The tricolor braids will be spun up and used for a slouchy hat that is going to be colored like Alistor from Hazbin Hotel

Not sure yet what I'll be doing with the 3 skeins (I got more on Saturday that I do have some thoughts for though)

LOVE THOSE!

LOVE THOSE!

Yeah. The middle one has 400 yards, so maybe a bralette?

Maybe some headbands for the small one on the right

Might do a (stereotypical) cactus themed batt too.

All the Batts

Your batts are so gorgeous! I'm curious, is it harder to spin from a batt than from roving? I've only spun roving, but I'd love to try spinning from a batt sometime.

I personally have a harder time, but it seems to just be a matter of preference for most people. It's easier for me to tear the braids into strips the size I need, and the fibers are a bit more aligned (they are a bit more combined on the sides in Batts so that it stays together, where in braids, they're mostly just 'connected' at the top and bottom to make a longer strip). But I also am still newer to spinning (less than a year), so I still have to get familiar with some things before they get easier

That's good to know, thanks! I'm new to spinning as well, and even spinning roving is tough sometimes

What fiber are you spinning? Some is very difficult, while others are easier.

I recommend buying a cheap batt once you're more comfortable spinning and just trying it.
