such beautiful yarn! I want to learn to crochet!

Thanks for watching! What project do you want to see me knit, crochet, or spin this December?

If you've not yet named the skein, perhaps Renaissance Recovery would be a good name for it.

This is soooo relaxing - thank you

Wow nice video 👍😊

Very pretty yarn. Have you spun Polypay?

Love this Sis, God bless!😀

Thanks so much for watching! Here are two more videos I have made using the hand carders: (ASMR) Unboxing Christmas Gift and Making Rolags with Hand Carders.

Thanks for watching! If you want to see the beginning, here is link: th-cam.com/users/livebMgVjli7JZo?si=ar85g5SJe1-Su6_D I had to stop it abruptly because a bot started spamming the chat with racial slurs, telling me how ugly I am, and this was my solution-restarting the live.

We're you able to get it figured out? I read that you are doing a thick n thin yarn? My suggestion would be to slow down on your treadling. I have a tutorial of a demo I did in a group on my channel if that's helpful? Over twist is usually a tension issue and I do have the yarn on my Country Wheel that will pop off like that usually as the bobbin gets full. I'm not quite sure how to keep that from happening but I with you luck :)

Hi Ali, I hope you're OK xx ❣️❣️❣️ I'm sorry that I missed your Live. Your Scarf looks amazig, beautiful and Unique. I love how you've got it to spiral, I've not seen this design before.

I have a heap of tutorials showing how to spin this yarn with a few how to fix tips etc. As the others have mentioned please tighten your tension slightly, ether straighten the hooks or replace them with rounder ones, and with thick n thin you need to take your time, spin for the thin section and then feed on the bobbin with your hand on the wheel. Once you get the rhythm you will be spinning fast with the thin and then 1 or 2 peddle pushes with the thick. If your only trying to spin a thicker single ply then you need to spin slower.

I think when the overspun sections (places where you can see it is very coily, making little spirals) gets to the hook it gets caught, and gets thrown off.

I notice you are like trying to make lumpy art yarn. That in itself is an issue because the thick parts don’t twist much and the thin sections over spin causing the yarn to pigtail onto itself and when that happens as it is sliding across the hooks it causes the yarn loops to catch causing the yarn to jump off the hooks. It is the parts that are overspun that are causing this. Also you have an issue with not using the first hook and when the thicker parts move along they can grab the edge of the spinning bobbin and cause jumps and maybe even tangles but the main issue is the thin over spun areas. On occasion I get mine to jump as well and I spin super thin and consistent but when I overspin those loops will grab the hook wire and cause it to jump off. It doesn’t happen much. If you are looking to get smooth even consistent yarns I can help with that and as the others have stated, slow down. My suggestion is to slow down and if you still have the issue change one thing and try again. If it doesn’t change then go back and try something different but small changes. The over spun thread will catch the hooks and that can stop it from taking up the thread as well. Because of that I gather you are changing the tension yet still have the problem but you also have another problem of too aggressive of an uptake and now you have two problems. If you want that art yarn you need to slow way down so the thin sections are not over spun. Over spinning causes loads of issues. If you over twist, stop and draft out some more to undo that over twist then proceed a bit slower. th-cam.com/video/u9Io0ODSMQ4/w-d-xo.html. th-cam.com/video/lBZhyZTwXho/w-d-xo.html

It looks like your take-up is not quite strong enough and you do need to make sure you use that top hook.

1. Put a bit more tension on the Scotch tension cord so it pulls more strongly. 2. Straighten out your hooks. 3. Treadle more slowly and draft more quickly. Your yarn is overtwisted and the snarls shown in the video hamper smooth takeup. 4. Try to keep the yarn feeding smoothly instead of fits, starts and jerks.

I have a Sonata, I get this issue mostly when I ply. Comparing it to my Ashford traditional, and checking the Sonata instruction book, I'd guess it's a combination of things. This is a little stream of consciousness, sorry for being so choppy. The hook shape makes it real easy for the fiber to jump off when it gets going fast since they don't curve back in on themselves. But I really suspect it's a tension and speed issue, and the hooks can't do anything to stop it from happening. I see some some corkscrews on your bobbin, which means too much twist to me, so I'm thinking tension is the root issue. Since your spring is stretched out, you might need to replace it. Make sure you install the bobbin with the larger groove on the back! I mess this up all the time. It looks like you might have yours the wrong way, which I have found will absolutely mess up the tension. For the immediate issue you're having, I find if I'm going too fast for the take-up, the extra slack flies out off the flier and goes wherever it goes, usually wrapping around at the base of the whorl for me, which is a lot of fun to stop and untangle. If you can fix your tension and try to draft/let the yarn take up at an even pace, I'd bet the issue will start to go away.

I have the same issue on my Country Craftsman. Someone suggested that I add more hooks to the lower angled part of my flyer. I notice that you are not using that first hook. Try that

it is because your hooks are on the left side of the flyer wood, try changing the hooks from one of your sides of the flyer to the other side of the wood, or put some extra hooks on one of the other sides of the wood. I hope you know what I mean? If not let me know. You could probably also try to solve this problem by bending your hooks a little more zo they get more of a round snap instead of this rather flat curve. I would try that first because it is a little easier. Good luck

That is amazing! So beautiful!

It was August of last year that I discovered the joy of spin my very first yarn… and it’s been a blessing. Sadly, treadling isn’t an option due to health issues but since picking up that first spindle and getting that first cop started, I’ve learned so much and now I have two e-spinners (both the Nano2 and the EEW 6 by Dreaming Robots). I’ve spent endless hours spinning and recently saved up enough to buy myself a blending board. I’ve washed my very first sheep’s fleece and am working myself through an alpaca fleece. Knitting with my own hand spun yarn is absolutely wonderful. I’ve participated in my first Tour De Fleece and that yielded me enough lace weight yarn for a large haapsalu (Estonian) lace shawl. Spinning is, to me, the perfect gift for a fibre addict: you get to spin exactly the yarn you want, in the weight, texture and colour(s) you want, made out of the fibre(s) you want and after the initial investment of a spindle or a wheel, weight-for-weight, the yarn is much cheaper and higher quality than anything you can buy. And you get hours of enjoyment and relaxation out of it. And… if at some point you don’t feel like spinning or knitting, you have endless hours of spinning content you can watch… like your videos. Plenty of inspiration! Greetings from Belgium’s countryside!
