Running the roving through a drum carder for a batt could produce a wider fold to work with (I'm not a pro but I've seen this done).

Onde compro esses pentes??

Do you mean scalding hot water instead of scour?

This video helped me get so much better at spinning using my drop spindle! Thank you so much!

Great video thank you for the detailed explanation exactly what I needed 😊❤

microwaving is quicker, as they heat only water molecules. To clean the brown tips you can use vinegar, lemon juice or thin bleach.

Thank you for this excellent demonstration

I want one of those! You make it look so easy.

I think i should rephrase my question from old comment I made..Am still curious almost a yr.later & trying to figure out if it's possible 2 use this concept on 2 skeins of store bought #4 worsted weight 100% cotton yarn. Idk if the strands of yarn from ea.skein are already plied by machine when the yarn was made,or if that makes a difference or not(Id be changing a couple of things 2 better fit the situation tho,obviously..Like I'd put ea.ball/skein where it's easy 2 unwind & in their own seperate bowls beside me on the floor or up higher on a table. Also,would try to do the spinning after I invisble or Russian joiin the 2 ends 2gether & then see if I can make a slip knot or find a way to secure them on2 my spinner hook. Also after all that, I'd then try to start the twist by hand like u showed & attempt 2 keep the v shape & tension best I can while pulling up & using the slack of the continuous feed from skeins/bowls)...If it is possible 2 do w/the cotton yarn,,then what do u think about if I tried this w/acrylic yarn w.w.#4 (that I can def.say already looks plied) as well?? Hope this isnt too much of a bother & that I will hear some kind of feedback. Thanks so much 4 ur time & the great video..

Rayne you are beautiful and a Godsend! This is the video that finally got me to spin!!!!!! I'm naming my spindle Rayne in your honor

I would really like to understand why you are doing that trick with your right hand -the untwist motion. It seems unnecessary. You let the twist into your fiber source. So if you’re untwisting, are you pulling less or more fibers from the v source???😮

Thank you. I took a class as had no luck prior. I was trying to do the slight untwist and the instructo almost stopped me til i just did this. "Oh, ive no seen that before!" Gotta love it; i had a technique.

Is there any smell?

Thank you for this…such a help to me!

This was very helpful, thank you!

I cant believe you people are still giving your money to amazon. How's your country's economy going?

I just shared this with my mom. She has some dirty fleeces. I also helped her wash some fleeces similar to these last year. It’s crazy how dirty that water was, and how gorgeous the wool turned out afterward.

I watched at quarter speed to be able to see the action of your fingers closely. Awesome and so helpful for this new spinner. ❤❤❤

Beautiful, I love it. ❤ it would be perfect in a night sky weave.

I originally started spinning after buying alpacas. Other than a little bit of practice wool, I have only ever spun 100% alpaca. I have so much and don't know what to blend it with/ don't want to ruin it by blending/don't know where to source blending fiber from that I don't ever blend my alpaca fiber with anything. I am increasing my fiber processing equipment and just bought some Valkyrie fine combs. Thank you for making this video so I can see how the finicky alpaca fiber works on combs.😂

I just sheered my ram. He was super nasty and greasy (from his lanolin). Thank you for this video.

Love this! I was wanting to start out and you already answered the trouble shooting questions I had. Thank you so much for the video!!

I can’t get any uptake, I’ve taken a break from spinning but I decided to get my nano out and forget everything, so I watched your video which is very helpful but I’ve tightened the tension a lot and still nothing😢

Muchas gracias ! 😊🎉🎉🎉

6:13 ".... and of course, if you are not going for consistency you can always do it a different way." I LOVE THAT ATTITUDE! She boths gives her own wonderful advice, and gives you permission to do it however you want.

Hi, I just watched your video on washing and combing your merino targhee cross. I have pure merino raw fleece. my merino is only a 3" staple. It is so difficult to comb, card, drum card, I am so frustrated. actually carding was the easiest outcome, so I guess I will continue to prep it this way. I don't have velkryi combs, my comb and hackle is homemade by my husband, so it is not fine enough for merino. oh, well. I will continue to card with my carding paddles. Thank you for the video.

I used to be a knitter many years ago and do something completely different now, but got it into my head that I needed to learn how to use a drop spindle, so far with no success at all ;-) I watched a whole bunch of beginner's tutorials and was about to give up on this, but when I found your video, I regained hope that I will be cracking this eventually.

Brilliant! Anyone can make something simple complicated, but it takes a bit of genius to make something complicated simple. You have that genius. Thank you - after all these years, I think I can do this. 💗💗💗

Is it possible to “overclean” the wool? What will happen if it is and how will it damage it (theoretically)?

Thank you for your awesome detailed videos. Just got my first fleece blanket (alpaca) and am so nervous about ruining it. My plan is to follow your videos step by step!

How do you know if you've overspun? My singles curl back on themselves really badly. I think I'm overspun ing because I'm brand new

Thank you ❤

This was so helpful, thank you so much 😊😊

Excellent video as others have said. The camera shots really help! Thank you! What is the brand of your spindle?

What kind of wool are you spinning?

Thank you! Just got my Ashford Spinner this week and am loving your videos👍🏼 Lots of great tips from you!

Super helpful thank you so much!

Thank you so much. This was easy to follow.

Thank you for explaining the solution ratios-I could never figure out the website for the dye’s charts.

Only issue with fiber arts is that processing it uses a lot of water. 😂🎉but I love cleaning/sorting wool and such, and spinning it

Thank you so much for this video! I just got my first drop spindle and I read the instructions that came with it while scratching my head, but you explained everything so well I'm ready to try now! Oh gosh what an angel to include troubleshooting problems!

I haven't got my spinner yet - waiting for the 6.1 to come out and I've never spun yarn. I do have a ball winder. My question is were you skipping the lazy kate to ply and did you change from z to s on the spinner?

Thank you..wonderful clear explanation.

Thank u so much 4 taking the time 2 show us this technique..I've been wondering 4 a good while if I could do this. Its actually 1 of the main reasons I looked 4 & bought a drop spindle(this & 2 make plarn yarn that is nice & twisted or maybe I can ply them too...I was wanting 2 ask tho,does any1 know if I can do this with like 2 skeins of store bought #4/worsted weight,100% acrylic or some acrylic blend yarns & also what about 2 sks.of #4 100%cotton yarn,or that $ tree 100% polyester chenille that's thin as #4or barely #5 guage yarns???

Fabulous video! Many thanks! Very helpful… I’ve got a very dirty but oh so soft alpaca blanket to wash so I’ll try the preflicking and multiple washes. The mesh style baskets are a great idea - the water seems to get better access to the fibres than with a mesh bag.

I bought my Ashford e spinner last week. I am disabled and sometimes I am unable to treadle on my treasured Majacraft wheel. So far I have caught up with lots of plying I have been putting off because I don't particularly like plying!! At present I am spinning sock yarn. Singles at 60 wpi to chain ply. I was worried this little machine wouldn't cope with such fine yarn, which is my norm, and my very slow drafting (I find slow drafting much more relaxing) but it is brilliant. One thing I have found is to put the foot pedal on my lap and turn on and off with my hand which I find much easier than trying to find it on the floor! If my dog lies on it (she always sleeps by my feet) she may turn the wheel on or off at inopportune moments!! Also, being used to treadling I found I was turning it on and off all the time as I was 'treadling' whilst spinning!!
