Amazing!

Spinning breaks are the best! I work from home a lot, which means unworried lunchtime spinning or knitting. And even on office days, either my supported spindle or my EEW Nano2 come along with me and I set a timer to make sure I don’t go over the hour I have for lunch. Especially during Tour De Fleece, it got me to get in daily spinning time. My colleagues found it fascinating. Of course you get the usual questions and exclamations: “Why don’t you just buy yarn?” - “I’d never have the patience to spin enough for a sweater/shawl/scarf!” etc. My perpetual reply: “It’s not about how long it takes for me, but about how it relaxes me and allows me to focus back on my paying job during work hours.” Added benefit being people don’t infringe on my lunch break to ask me that “quick” little work question that actually eats up more than half an hour to answer properly off the clock. LOL. Your yarn is absolutely gorgeous! I thoroughly enjoyed your video!

I am just hanging out while watching this... I love it - I bet you could turn this into asmr so easily :)

I just got the Impkins book. I can Mr wait to get started on the first one. Thank you for sharing your review!

Camera angle is too high 😢 I can’t see it 😭 Do you have a video at a slower pace? 😊

A lot of crafters are splitting their channels to make the bots understand the algorithm better, I hope it works. Its such a shame for multi-crafters or as I would say artists, as i think what we do is art not craft! Lovely projects and the colours of the fleece are so nice

Hi! Thanks for this video, I've been wanting to make these baskets but wanting a source of real leather for the handles! How thick is the leather that you used here please?

They are lovely, good job!😊

Are you cleaning/washing the fibre before combing?

Awesome !❤you have the patience of a saint.😊

It is Okay to skip to the middle that is were it get more interesting.

I was going to just sew my son's broken backpack loop onto the outside, but after this video I went in an disassembled like two inches of space, sewed everything down, and then sewed up back up again. Much neater than my original plan. Thank you!

I was so worried there for a second 😂

Where did you get the colander?

Omg sooo cute! ❤

from Gerry- What an easy and beautiful project. I have lots of dyed roving so this would be easy to do. Thanks for sharing and God bless.

Rat pin cushion is so cute! Do you sell them? I'm interested in pattern or one already made?

Why must you spin counter clockwise I always spin deosil not weidershins

That was awesome! Thank you!

Curious, but do they make extensions for the 3 spindles so that they can sit up higher and have less change of catching on the pegs or can the pegs be removed to avoid potential snags? if not, bet those are some things to make the spinning wheel even better. :)

I love how you wove in the ends AT THE SAME TIME! Wow! Thanks for the tip! 🩷

Love the color of the mohair. I think you said you dyed it-can you share what color and company you used. Mohair takes dye so beautifully, but I especially like this color.

It’s so beautiful! I’m thinking of spinning up mohair and targhee for socks, would you do 75/25 (75 being the targhee) blend? Also, could I dye my yarn when it’s finished as opposed to the raw fiber? Also, I don’t have a drum carder…can rolags made from hand carders work just as well? I’m new to spinning and to dyeing (fiber). Sorry for so many questions but tyia if you are able to answer any!

I have the spindle and I love spending on it

Belated happy birthday too!❤🎉

A great week! Love the yarn from the combed fleece.😊

You make it look so easy

Hello beautiful girl 🖐️🖐️❤❤

Hi Matti, Thankyou so much for sharing this video podcast. Going from Long Wool Locks to a 3 Ply Handspun Yarn, was amazing to watch. Your finished Handspun Yarn looks amazing. You got a lot of Yarn out of 6oz fiber. You gained a New Subscriber. Happy Blending and Spinning Fibre Friend 🎉🎉🎡🐑🥰 Take care, love and hugs Jen xxxx (uk)❤️❤️🫂🫂🫂🐈‍⬛🫂

Thanks.. very helpful 😊

Suffolk? Yes, that method should work well. However, for finer fleeces, Merino and derivatives, I would expect at least partial felting with this method. Those are better off in smaller batches in laundry bags in rectangular plastic wash basins, where you can use a spatula to get underneath the bag to lift out the wool without agitating it. When I wash fleeces, I separate getting out the sand and soil from getting out the lanolin. I first soak the wool in lukewarm water, depending on how dirty it is, two or three times. Then it goes into very hot water (I mix boiling water in with the hottest tap water, it should be at least 160°F) with some blue Dawn. You will see that water instantly get cloudy with the lanolin coming out. One wash with the soap has always been enough for me, and I don't let it sit long. After rinsing in equally hot water, I put the bag flat between towels and gently press on it. Then it goes onto a nylon pop-up sweater dryer, still in the bag, for a few hours. Then I take the wool out of the bag to let it dry fully.

I love spinning on a dealgan. I use it as a drop spindle too.

Thanks for sharing this, i have learnt a lot from you. Please share your Dr Who quilts but later when you are ready, no pressure as good work takes time! tour de fleece next, and i’m hoping to progress some more.

Thanks! I hope you make more of these so we can see you spin it.

Thanks for the video. Most people who claim to be "allergic" to wool aren't allergic at all. You are right that it has to do with the harsh commercial processing but it has to do with the irritating broken ends of the wool due to chemicals. People aren't "allergic" but their skin is being irritated by those broken brittle ends.

Wow, thank you!!!

I would love the pattern for the scarf you’re wearing!

Could you put it in a mesh bag and tumble dry or would that make it felt?

I believe they used lye soap back in the day to clean their wool.

I find, when I do a three-ply, that they never end all at the same time! So by the end of the three-ply I have plied normally, then I bracelet-ply the thickest bobbin to get back to three, and if THAT runs out before the end of the last bobbin I use the loop to start a chain ply, which gets me a three-ply all through the yarn :) I haven’t spun for socks yet, or with mohair, but I’ll rewatch this video when I’m going to!

I just got a Bullfrog and love it! I'm just wondering why you didn't use the built in lazy kate? This yarn is going to make beautiful socks!
