Carding a Gradient Batt with Classy Squid Fiber Co: Cafe Terrace at Night
Watch behind the scenes as I card a gradient batt inspired by Vincent Van Gogh's "Cafe Terrace at Night" painting. This batt is carded in two steps: first, a large 6oz batt is carded in layers of color; second, that batt is split into smaller units and re-carded in strips to reveal the final gradient. This is a great technique for making super smooth transitions, and it also ensure that the mix of colors in each layer blend a little bit more and make some random effects.

The Birth of an Art Batt - by Classy Squid Fiber Co. At 4x normal speed, watch the creation of a multi-layered landscape mega-batt! Art batts can be terribly difficult to photograph, because layer after layer of color and texture is held within, but only the top surface can be seen in a still picture. So, I thought I'd take you behind the scenes to see all that goes into one of these multi-face...

Batt Spinning 101: How to Strip a Batt for Spinning
มุมมอง 1.1K9 ปีที่แล้ว
Batts don't have to be intimidating. In this video, I'll show you a quick and easy way to prepare a batt for spinning, by "stripping" it into smaller, narrow sections. Once you're done, you can simply treat these strips like top or roving and spin away! For more information, check out my blog post: www.classysquidfiberco.com/2015/06/batt-spinning-101.html The batt shown in this video can be pur...

    I'm a new spinner and tried my first chain ply yesterday. I had watched other videos, but what I really appreciated about yours was that you showed a couple of ways to reattach a broken single. The fibre I had spun and was plying was horrible. So much VM and tiny neps, but still good to practice on. It did break once, and I tied a knot. But now I know the two options if it happens again, especially the tucking the ends in. This was very helpful! Thanks!

    Thanks for this. I haven't chain plied for some years now and needed a refresher. You have answered all I wanted to know in a very clear way. I have spun yarn for socks this time and had to make a decision whether to two ply it or chain ply. I did two samples, washed them, worked out the yards per pound (we are supposed to use grams etc. here in UK but I prefer pounds and ounces) to see if I had enough for my socks, especially with the chain plied yarn. I have decided to chain ply even though there is not a lot of difference in the thickness of the yarn the chain plied yarn has a much more sturdy grist and will make more cosy socks. Thanks again, the best video I have seen.😊

    I love youtube. It's 6 years since you recorded this and it is perfect for me because in the next few days I'm going to start spinning a braid that I'm going to use as the basis to learn how to chain ply. It is one of my challenges for the Tour de Fleece 2023. I'm a toddler spinner and my basic goal is to become a more consistent spinner and learn some knew techniques. This will be a big help toward achieving my goals.

      Isn’t it great to find old videos from artists? I got a comment the other day on one of my unboxing videos I did three years ago, and it totally caught me off guard-I loved it!

    Best chain plying video I've watched yet. I could easily see what you were doing. I, like another commenter a few years ago, am doing the TDF this year and have set learning chain plying as one of my challenges. Having seen this video, I think I'm ready to tackle it!

    Such a great explanation and instruction on how to get started! Thank you!!! (Only video that shows that out of the first 4 video tutorials on Navajo plying.) I love the position of your back hand's fingers. Love the explanation and demos if your single breaks. AND, a tip about reducing the bumps that happen at the chain. And, love the tips on working with color changes. GREAT instructional video all around!

    @cindyrivington4802 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thank you! You made this intimidating technique sound very clear & doable. I couldn't help but wonder if you had to stop in the midst of this. Normally I wrap my single around the tension knob a couple times to hold the twist so it doesnt unravel, maybe for an hour, overnight, or a week. It seems picking that chain ply back up, would it be hard to figure out where you left off?

      @classysquidfiberco653 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi KB! Yes, that's another name for this technique - it's not actually associated with the Navajo people, though, so these days you'll mostly hear it referred to as N-plying or chain-plying. Hope this helps!
