Looking forward to seeing what you make using your handspun. I tend to spin but then the yarn just sits. I find I don’t really wear shawls so need to get larger batches of fiber and spin for sweaters. Love your field pullover.
I for one I’m thankful that you’ve discovered spinning. I think it will help you and your endeavor to focus and concentrate. I have the same problem and my brain can take me into other worlds that I never thought I could go into but this has happened since my mom passed away and my sister passed away, I wish you the best of luck please continue spinning wealth of knowledge and I truly appreciate everything that you’re doing welcome to spinning
Aww, thank you so much! Illustration and art was how I paid the bills for a while and I have such a deep appreciation for art and just beauty in general 💜
Awww, thank you so much! And that’s an awesome goal! I can’t go back to knitting with anything but handspun now 🥲. It just adds so much love (cheesy. I know 😂) and character to the things you make!!!
I don’t know what happened to my comment but I just wanted to say thank you for deciding to podcast. I love all the things that you have shared with us. You have inspired me to try spinning again on my drop spindles or wheel, I have an Ashford Kiwi , i think it’s vintage.
Awww, thank you so much!! And I definitely think you should definitely start spinning again 👀. It’s so soothing and so just *right* for this time of year. Plus making with your handspun is just so satisfying. If you haven’t yet, definitely play around with some woolen spinning! It’s my favorite and is so rhythmic and calming 💜
Thank you so much! And that sounds like such a lovely winter project 💜. I love playing around with technical spinning here and there. It makes things so interesting!
Thank you for a lovely episode. I love everything to do with fibre and as I get older I want to learn how to do it all. I just bought my first drop spindle and am excited to jump into the world of spinning. Seeing your wonderful sweater from your own hand spun yarn and hearing your enjoyment of having slowed the process down to experience the fibre fully is exactly what I am looking forward to. You mentioned a favourite walking skirt. Did you sew it yourself? What pattern did you use? Thank you for sharing and inspiring.
Aww, thank you! I’m also a huge fiber nut (if you couldn’t tell, haha!) and just love everything about it. The tactile experience is just out of this world. I did sew it myself! I used a self drafted pattern from Keystone’s Jacket and Dress Cutter. It was easy to draft and I love the movement it has when it’s made out of wool! I think you can download the manual on archive.org :)
Only just started watching your podcast. I know am going to enjoy it. I am a spinner and multi crafter as well. I like your music in the background BUT it was he same few bars over and over, I kept wanting to hear it go on. Look forward to more episodes.
Thank you! I get bored VERY quickly, so being able to rotate through multiple hobbies keeps it all feeling fresh and fun! And yeah, you only have so much to choose from when you’re working with music in the Creative Commons, haha :)
Hey, I’ve been working with Romney for a year now and Romney wants to be spun supported long draw. I spun mine with a world of 18 to 20 and I’ll spin it on the 18 with the supported long draw and then I’ll fly with a 10 hope that helps. I get the softest bouncy next to skin soft
I spin most things with a supported long draw, and I think I’ve been spinning my Romney at about an 18:1 ratio - but I think I may be overplying it a bit! I tend to ply with the same whorl I spun with but I’ll have to try dropping the ratio down when I go to ply it! I do want to try playing with more long wools to try and dial in how to spin them in a way I enjoy :)
@@LindaNixon-ws4ge thank you! And we have 3 dogs, a female border collie named Koa, a male border collie x mini Aussie named Maximus or ‘Max’, and blue heeler named Winston :). Our cat is Rowan or ‘Ro Ro’ (although someone rehomed a pregnant female cat to our barn and she just had six kittens 😅. So there will be another kitten in our home soon!). Oh, good to know! I’ll have to keep that in mind :). The music actually helps my brain focus on the person talking, as weird as that is, haha!

Thank you for all you have said about art. I am an artist so I really appreciate all of your words. Thank you. You are a beautiful soul

You are a beautiful spinner.❤ I love the idea of using just your own yarn for knitting, that’s my goal for the coming year.😊

Waving back! Just had to pause and say your cat is beautiful ❤ Okay, back to watching!
@@mywoolmitten awww, thank you! I’ve always been partial to calicos so I think she’s absolutely adorable 🥰
Lovely video, thank you. I am a newer spinner and hope to grasp grist and spinning for a project over this winter!

@@TheNurseCupcake she’s the best 🥰. Once it starts getting cold keeping her OUT of your lap and your space is the hard part!

Thank you so much!
Enjoyed your podcast. What are your cat and dogs names. The music is a little distracting.while tying to concentrate on your talking

Hello! Nice to meet you :) @jillianeve would be honored to know she impacted you so positively!
Nice to meet you too! And I hope she would! She is the reason I started on this whole spinning journey 💜
