The tiny spool of reinforcement thread used to be included in every skein or ball of sock yarn, at least at times when the sock yarn used to be pure wool ( I can only talk about germany). Later, sock yarn was a mix of wool and man made fibre, so the reinforcement thread was obsolete. I am very happy to see it coming back.
Can't wait to see what you get up to on your trip! Love your Njord Socks ...thanks so much for showing them off. I did a lot of TH-cam researching when I started Drop spindling, but you have a class coming up soon. I'd be tempted to wait
I am wearing the Njord DK Socks as I type and they are a delight! I think you might be right about the drop spindling and I will hang fire until my class. Thank you so much for taking the time to watch! I am genuinely thrilled a real TH-camr saw my podcast!!!!!! 🥰
I love everything you make and your color choices. You must speak a ton of languages. I’m very jealous. It must open the world up for you. I also am envious of all the places you have lived. I’m just catching up on your videos so maybe you’ve already done this, but I’d love to hear about what brought you to Germany and what led to your travels. The first episode seems to be missing and I didn’t get to see it. It’s really nice to see a podcast by someone closer to my age and body type. Enjoying your videos. 🧶
You are so sweet! I will try to answer your questions here :) 1. Sadly I don't speak many languages well; my German is OKish and I speak a little of a few Asian languages but only enough to get by. My French used to be good but when I try and speak it now, German words keep sneaking out, and I know a little Welsh :) 2. The love of my life brought me to Germany after we met in Seoul, South Korea, when he was there on a business trip from Germany. My life before that was a little complicated (I got married too quickly and too young 🤷🏻♀️) but suffice to say wanderlust took me travelling. Having grown up in a military family, the urge to travel is very natural to me but I have lived in Germany for the longest I have lived anywhere and I'm very happy so definitely sticking :) 3. There is an Episode 1 but the quality of the video is so poor I took it down 😂 I am so glad you have enjoyed my videos so far! It is a lot of fun for me to make them too. Thank you so much for watching 🥰
@@madebymoomeeno Thank you for replying! What an interesting life you have led. I’m so glad you found your partner. You seem like a happy (love your laugh) and content person, so you must be doing something right. 😊
I just found this episode and your channel?!?! (only 6 months too late 😂) Thank you so much for your lovely review of the Sevilla Shawl! Makadam is such a pretty colour and I'm glad you enjoyed knitting it 😄
I couldn’t find the box to comment on your first podcast so am pleased to see it here. It is a delight to listen to your beautiful gentle English voice and watch as you talk. You have a pleasing manner and it feels as if we are sitting in the same room. Good luck with the spinning and idea of fleece to fabric. It is purely desire + practice. I learned in the 1980s and it is so much part of my life. The ability to buy a fleece clean and sort it, wash and card ,spin and knit never ceases to thrill me and there isn’t anything like that lovely sheep smell. Have you come across Lisa at Soulful Spinning podcast? She does quite a lot of spindle spinning as well as fleece preparation, is a delight to watch and very informative. I know you will enjoy Wonderwool. I really enjoy this festival and usually take 2 days to explore all of the sheds. Unfortunately I am unable to go this year. I would suggest you quickly walk round all 3 sheds to get a feel of what is where, before you begin to browse. That way you won’t run out of time. It was a good day when your podcast came on my lists. Thankyou for your lovely content and long may you continue. ( I particularly enjoy your rabbit holes😂). 😊
Thank you so much for such a lovely comment! You are very kind and I’m really glad you have enjoyed my podcasts so far. It is so inspiring to hear about your spinning and processing experiences; it’s the dream! Have a lovely weekend and I will be back with a new episode soon 🥰
I’m so pleased to have stumbled upon your podcast. I am a Canadian who completed doctoral studies at the University of Wales, Bangor. I very much enjoy your references to Wales. Thank you! 🇨🇦
How lovely! I miss Wales a lot so I try and go back as much as possible. I will make sure to take plenty of footage when I go back in April! Thank you for finding me, and for your lovely comment! 🥰
So happy to find your podcasts. I am enjoying your friendly presentation. Love your shawls. I have never been a shawl wearer or knitter but suddenly find myself knitting a shawl. Also working on Stick Season pullover sweater.
Thank you so much for watching! I’m thrilled you found me! The stick season looks like such a nice pattern and I was wondering about making it for my partner 🥰
Hi, lovely podcast! Glad to have stumbled upon you. You asked about Zwartbles, in the English speaking world, people seem to makevit sound like it rhymes with marbles, but being Dutch (like the sheep breed 😂), that always irks me a bit. Zwart means black, like schwartz in German, Bles means blaze, so black sheep with white blaze, just like Torddu in the Welsh sheep breed. In English it would probably have two words, but you know Germans and Dutch like to string words together. Zwartbles in Dutch rhymes with cart-less.
@@madebymoomeeno oops, but I made a mistake though, the Welsh sheep breed Torddu is the white sheep with the black blaze, Torwen is the black sheep with the white blaze. I know you did not even talk about those sheep, but you mentioned Wales a few times...
@@ailienrhijnsburger5178 there are so many unique breeds, aren’t there! I am Welsh and I go back to see my family in the Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) as much as I can. Most of the sheep put out to graze on the common land near my family’s farm house are the self-shearing kind that are sold for meat but there are a few other breeders dotted about. Sadly growing sheep for their fleeces isn’t as profitable for struggling farmers as it once was.
Have a nice trip! ❤ Oslo yarn shops: Heimen husflid (for norwegian yarn! They have all the colors of Rauma Finull and some Hillesvåg), Fru Kvist (lots of danish brands. They also have yarn from Oslo mikrospinneri), Strikkedilla, Garntopia (it’s out of the centre, but they have a great selection).
lovely shawls and I have also bought a mug in the mountain centre, but mine is blue! Have a great trip and I look forward to seeing some footage of your wanderings!
First time viewer, you have a very nice podcast. On my needles right now; PetiteKnit Moby Neck and a Friend to Friend shrug. Both will probably be gifted. Waving hello from 🇨🇦
Oooo lovely and hello back from Germany :) The Friend to Friend pattern is new to me! It looks like a very satisfying make. Thank you so much for watching 🥰
I'm so glad that you decided to join the youtube knitting world. The blanket on your chair is stunning. So many interesting stitches. I really enjoyed this episode and will go back and watch your first now that I have found you. Best wishes from Margaret (of My Wonderful Knitting Life podcast)!
Thank you so much for such a lovely comment! The crafting community is just so supportive:) I am looking forward to a nice cup of tea and enjoying your channel too 🥰
