That’s a neat idea! There are so many things that can be done with spinning it’s amazing ❤🎉happy tour de fleece 🧶

Thank you so much this is exactly what I was looking for. My only question is, do you have to let it rest before plying?

What a great design ❤

Best ‘thingamabob’ Ive ever seen! Hoping you still carry them. It looks like you are using a 6” bobbin?

Thanks for sharing this interesting information!

Love the scarf!

Thanks for this lovely window into your travels. What great woolly treasures your brought home with you!

So much good information!

Thanks for showing how to manage and correct when things go not as planned, like dropping the plying ball.

Thank you. I've wondered if Polworth would be good for a newbie spinner, and it sounds like it's perfect.

the closeups are so helpful - thank you!

Very helpful! Thanks.

YES YES more videos on combo drafting and spinning! Over the years I have done a good bit of natural dyeing and bought some commercial rovings with colors similar and complementary to my dyed fleece. I have been mixing colors on my drum carder and like the idea in this video and will try it. Thanks!

Very helpful, thank you!

Amazing! I can hear this great and the info is useful.

Old guy, spinning noob here. I've got to bobbins worth of noob singles that have been resting for some time. Too chicken to ply them with my wheel. Have used a plying ball before to ply from a drop spindle. Thinking of using a plying ball to ply with my wheel. Would you recommend plying that way, or would I be heading for a disaster doing so? TIA. Swell videos BTW. Thx!!

That blanket looks so cozy, and cuddling 🥰 I love that you shared this make but I also think works in progress is always a good idea too. It’s motivating and encouraging to see projects come together and gives an appreciation for slow making and all the time it does require.

Hi Katrina, thankyou for another interesting and informative video podcast. I appreciate that you put a lot of time into your videos. Happy Spinning 🐑 Take care and stay safe ...Jen xx ☺ 💗

Hi Katrina, thankyou so much for this video podcast. I only found your channel today (Saturday 2nd July). I've been binge watching them, I found them all so interesting and informative. Thankyou for sharing your ideas on using our Handspun Yarns. I love the Mittens, the little Jackets and your Gnomes, they're all beautiful. Thanks again for sharing.

Great video!

i was gifted a cherryville loom as well! small world. beautiful loom! good luck restoring your new-to-you loom! & your towels are beautiful 🤩

The last 2 tea towels really are lovely.

Hello! Lovely video; very instructive...I'll be looking out for Shropshire fibre to spin. More, please! Bless you, it can be difficult with English accents, as we have so many! Most Southerners would probably say 'Shropshr' or 'Shropshuh' with the stress on the first syllable, like you're doing, and hardly any vowel content after the second 'sh'. In other parts of England, you will hear 'Shropsheer', with the very slightest stress on the second syllable and a very pronounced second vowel sound. But the word 'shire' is just as you're saying it. Going on memory (faulty!), I think you could probably find an English person saying the the 'ire' of a county's name in certain kind of literary or musical context, for example in an historic recording of a folk song so that it takes on a rustic or poetic quality. I hope this helps :)

I was looking for nostepinne and found your thingamabobbin all together...and then I realized you made this video! What a good timing!

I just started spinning with a spindle in February and this really helps. I struggled to ply directly off of the spindles and my singles weren't the same length. I'm looking forward to the video about plying

I was always wondering how and why, you answered it perfectly, Thank you for this, Marjorie

Beautiful! I just found inspiration for a next weaving project!

Beautiful. Still haven’t taken the trip down the weaving rabbit hole, but I enjoy seeing everyone’s work. Thanks Katrina.

Great ep!!!!!!!!

Thanks for this Katrina - I am a newbie spinner and one reason I like to have a really long leader as well is to get the tension sorted before I get to the fibre - I find that having a long leader allows for some adjustments before you start spinning.

Thank you Katrina - much appreciated!!

Thanks Katrina. Great tips!

Thank you for the video, it was very helpful. Your shawl is lovely, did you design it? Thanks again for sharing your expertise 🧶

Thank you for the really good and clear instructions! Loved it!

That's great Katrina. I appreciate you posting this...

Delighted to see you have started doing this

I loved the way you explained that advantages to the Turkish spindle. I have found that I got the hang of it faster than the top whorl. I also like your point about supported spindles allowing one to spin in a more woolen manner. That makes a lot of sense, and it makes me want to give one a try. ... Suzanne

Love your vids!

I just ordered one but now I am worried was I suppose to measure in cm or inches???

Congratulations on your new channel, looking forward to seeing more of you and your work.

So lovely to see and hear you, I think this is going to be so great!

Nice to see you here! You have such a wonderful voice!

Squweeee! For all the reasons 💖

Hey Katrina 👋 I’m curious if this apron might also double as a base for flick carding. How might the material hold up to this kind of use? Would the pocket get in the way?

So happy that you’ve started a YT channel💜!

Woohoo! So happy to see you here!! Congratulations on the first video!
