Thank you for watching/ Cia
Thank you! Such a wonderful video. We have a small Gotland flock in the UK and are learning all the skills you demonstrated. Heartfelt thanks.
I just purchased to raw Gotland fleeces. Both are beautiful and gorgeous colors. It’s such a joy to spin.
Beautiful Gotland Wool,
A complete process for your Gotland wool. Much appreciated!
Thanks for sharing this interesting process, Cia. I was feeling a bit down this morning with my cup of coffe and needles, trying to shake off the working week... but after this video of watching you craft the wool, my heart feels much much lighter. Really enjoy your podcasts!
The most beautiful fiber! Surprisingly lighter color when done! 🧶❤️
Thanks for the peek into all the work that goes into making great yarn. I had to laugh while watching you turning the carder, it almost looked as if your hair was going into the carder also! And right after that thought you reached up and pulled your hair back I guess you thought so too LOL
That was lovely Cia, so interesting. Good to see you outside in the Spring sunshine. Your weather is so like ours here in Norfolk, UK. Gotland sheep are beautiful! Thank you so much.
That Gotland wool is incredible. It is such a lovely color!
Thanks so much for sharing the process. Really enjoying it 🐑🐑🐑
Great video !!!
And maybe some people can learn, that good products need a knowing hand to work with them to make them shine...
...not only copy and paste or brainstorming in an office - only good old handcrafting, knowledge and patience. 💚
thoroughly enjoyed this, thank you for showing the process
Loved this, so interesting..
This is very inspiring...
Very helpful thank you I just purchased some Gotland but I washed it in warm water. I will redo it in hot water
This was so interesting and the best explanation of the process I've seen so far. I'm always learning from you. Thanks, Cia.
Enjoyed this so much!
What a beautiful video. Thank you for sharing this. I've not drumcarded Gotland but I have done other fibers. I also pick out the small bits. I felt them to make them into buttons which I can use for many things! Thanks again for sharing! Kat
As always, so beautiful Cia. You have inspired me to spend some time with my spinning wheel today as well!
I have been prepping wool too lately. I have one Gotland fleece I was looking for yesterday to wash and process. Hopefully I will find it today !
Lovely day you had!
Thank you. I found you by searching for "how process Gotland fleece" - you were the first to come up. I'd love to see the result of your spinning from those batts. I'm sitting here using combs to open up the locks and will spin from that, I think.
(First time processing Gotland fleece.)
Thank you so much, I enjoyed this greatly! I would love to learn to spin one day:) I have recently started knitting and have fallen in love!
So interesting! Thank you for sharing this. I have never seen the process before. Take care!
This explains so many questions I have had! Thank you, Cia.
Hello Cia. I enjoyed your video. I was wondering if you will be making a video when you spin the wool. Thanks for showing this process. Take care xxx
I only recently found some Gotland yarn here in New Zealand, from Stansbouogh, utterly love it!
Thank you for sharing that. I have combed Gotland and was disappointed that it just wanted to felt without any encouragement! I will try drumcarding instead. I'd love to see you spinning it as I spindle spin some and felt that it was very 'chewy'.
What a lovely video.The natural settings are beautiful!Do you give the waste fiber to the birds to use?
That Gotland fleece really is beautiful. What happens to the short cuts? Do you give it to the birds for their nests, perhaps?
Yes, i leave it outsidefor the birds 🦅
I was very pleased to watch the process. I would love to try it myself, but I don't think the wool of our sheeps is good for making yarn, must read and learn more about that...:) thank you!
What kind of sheep do you have? :)
the sort is autoctone for isle of Brac called "Bracka pramenka". They are well known for cheese and meat.I would guess that their wool will be a very rustic one..
Thank you for showing how you do the preparation.
What farmer did you bought it from?
Wish you a great spin day! :)
It is a facebook group where farmers put up Woolf for sale.
I am enjoying your video as I spin. Gotland is a wool that I very much want to spin but, like many spinners, I have quite a lot of wool prepared and waiting to be spun into yarn. At this moment I am spinning Chow wool for a friend who rescues elderly Chows. 🐕 Your drum carder seems to have very long teeth. Do you use that specifically with Gotland?
Hi Cia, thank you for sharing your knowledge about preparing gotland wool. I have one question: Which drum do you use, 72 or 120 ppi?
Hi, thanks for your video. Did you make your drum carder? Or did you buy it? Where did you buy it?
Witam ile razy gręplujesz runo?
Hi Cia ! How long does it take you to wash, and card the wool from start to finish. Does it take you days or does it take weeks to spin your wool into yarn.
I made a video last summer about this th-cam.com/video/Zqvmp86_sG8/w-d-xo.html
Takk! Akkurat hva jeg trengte, skal igang med denne prosessen for ull fra mine GNS sauer (gammel norsk spælsau) er nybegynner, så dette var toppen 😅👌🐏🧶
Класс !
Så nydelig ull! Kardemaskinen din ser ut til å være lik min, men min har ikke kosten som du setter på, hvor får jeg kjøpt den? Jeg synes maskinen min sorterer ut mye ull som går til spille, kanskje det hadde hjulpet med kost?
Hejsan , borsten kom med min kardmaskin när jag köpte den. Jag har sett att en del använder tapetserar borste om dom saknar på sin kardare
@@ciasbod Takk for svar! Da får jeg sette min mann på jobben med å lage børste😉
Vask og sorter gotland uld, det er helvede på jord😂😂
Tack Cia! ÅÅh, så härligt det ser ut, jag kämpar på med mina handkardor och kammar mem det går trögt... villhöver verkligen en kardmaskin :)
Det förstår jag att du villhöver 🤗
