- How to Spin Art Yarn
This is a video answer to question posted in my Fiber Art Collective group on FB. In this video I show you how to spin art yarn from a batt made in the first video ( find part 1 here • How to Make Art Yarn: ... ) I demonstrate how to do an autoharp method of plying and offer a tone of tips for spinning art yarn. This is the second video of two on making a specific art yarn.

extremely helpful to see how you get the thread to into the spins to stabilize the art bat as you make the yarn.. love your thoroughness and information. thank you so much.
I am so glad my video helped. I just recorded a couple of new spinning videos last week. Editing this week to post this month.
Wow! Awesome tutorial!! I’ve never attempted anything to do with weaving or spinning, but watching you has made me consider learning to do it!! Thank you!! Even though you did this video 7 years ago, I’m excited to have watched it in 2023!!
Thank you for watching! Glad you find it helpful.
My crochet fingers are making grabby hands! Gorgeous.
Crazy. As I watch how you handle the "novelties" in your batt, it reminds me of how I spin my own "farm wool". I raise my own sheep, wash and process their fleeces myself, and end up with a fiber prep, um, that often has all the fun stuff, nibs, thick spots and the occasional VM. I have a Strauch Petite. So if I want a really smooth prep, it has to go through 3 times. But I tend to "work" the wool like you do. So even when I haven't carded in other fiber or textures, I tend to deal with the wool during the spin like you are demonstrating. Fun to watch!
As a weaver, I daydream of yarn like this. I might need to learn to spin!🤩
Good video. Inspires spinning! Thank you! Sincerely from Russia!!!
I have always want to do spin my own yarn, but not sure where to purchase the wheel. Really like your process in how you made it look so easy.
Wow!!! That is just beautiful! I could watch you spin yarn all day. It's like magic but so relaxing at the same time. And when it's over you have the most beautiful yarn. Thank you!
GREAT great video...I am so so new to spinning. I purchased my first wheel a few months ago. I am in my very early 60's and thought ( and sometimes still do) I am too old to start learning something like this...I love it and learned so much from you..I had wanted to learn how to spin fingering weight but art yarn is what I am doing really like it..so thank you..
mary dillon You are never too old to learn. I started spinning at the age of 67 and just love it. Was too busy working to have spinning fun but now I can and am always learning. I love the art yarns. Happy spinning!
I too am in my early 60's and just took up spinning. It is so relaxing.
I am spellbound watching you do this. Lovely yarn and its looks so relaxing to do - although it probably isn't if you get things tangled up!! I just wish I had the space to be able to do something like this - maybe one day. Keep creating lovely yarns.
Beautiful Art Yarn
I am just getting into yarn again, used to crochet and now want to learn it from carding to spinning to crochet!
This video made me unreasonably happy. :D
Fun to watch you spin. Very relaxing. I get very relaxed spinning too Thumbs up
Very inspiring i am just learning how to spin on a haldane wheel that was given to me, i have a feeling that the orifice is too small for me to create this yarn , which is a pity as i love it , thankyou for showing the process
You could probably spin similar without extreme texture. I think for the most part this was not terribly full of locks or anything big.
Yoga mat! Brilliant hack!!!! Thanks Stacey!
Really helpful demo. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Beautifull! I love it!! Congrats!!
Thank you so much!!
Fabulous Stacey... your sharing "how to" is always so clear!!! Can't wait to try this!
I sure miss watching your videos. I hope you are doing well and still doing the "fibery things" You have so much fiber talent, girl!!! Since you did the autowrap, does that mean you just finish the yarn and don't need to ply it with anything else? It is gorgeous yarn!
Yes. Not plied again with another single. The final yarn is more like a thick single with a tangle of thread along the length.
really enjoyed this demo - I have not yet mastered spinning and really do want to learn - you make it look so easy...
This is so cool. You spin like I do! I also pull the yarn out, rather than hold it steady. Good tutorial!
Hi Stacy. Came across this video by chance. You have so inspired me to dust off my spinning wheel and start spinning again. You have a natural gift to be able to connect with people so effortlessly. I will be following your links and hope to see you on facebook. Thanks again for being a wonderful muse.
Loved the autowrap...can't wait to try it. Thanks for sharing!
I really enjoyed watching this video! Hopefully I can try this sometime. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Happy spinning!
That was so cool! I could watch you do that for hours!!! I will have to add making my own ball of yarn to my bucket list.
I Love that it is soothing to just watch people spin. I could watch for hours. I love spinning. I really do. Its such a fun way to create and let our art flag fly!
I SO want to learn how to create art yarn! Thank you for this awesome video. I’m looking up classes as we speak 👍🏼
So glad I found you again! I followed you years ago when you went under another id!!
Perfect! Always wondered how such art yarn was made when i saw on Instagram but now i know! Thanks a bundle for the video😍😍😍💜
My pleasure. Thanks for watching
really loved this, was fun to see you spin the whole batt...hope more are coming !
Really excellent video, thank you - clear and straightforward and with gorgeous results.
Excellent work baby. God bless you.
You are an incredible artist, my dear! I am so grateful to you for sharing your craft with us! I cant wait to try my hand at dyeing wool, making batts, and spinning something amazing thanks to your awesome instructions! I'll be using a drop spindle until I have enough money to get a wheel of my own!! Thank you again girl! Watching you spin is so mindblowing. Your artistic flow is a beautifully organic thing. Hope you're well! :)
A very good and helpful video ......love this yarn 🤗

Thank you!
Wow that looks so relaxing! I want to try. Thank you
Stacy that was such a wonderful 2-part video series. Thank you so much, I learned a lot and what a beautiful way to begin my day spinning alongside you and your rascally animals :-))
Awesome. Thanks for watching. Share what you make in the fiber art collective would love to see.
Thanks for sharing your skills Very helpful 😊💚💜
Totally love it,
I LOVE this method. I'm inspired.
So talented!
Fabulous video! Thank you so much for the inspiration!
Hello Stacey, well done, it's very clearly explained, and this push me to really start ! Anywayn thank you for the good ideas and advises !
My pleasure! Keep me posted on how it’s going. Holler if you have any questions.
Thank you so much, Stacey, it encourages me a lot. I just bought an antic spinning wheel, I know it's not the best technically, but I think it's not so bad. Tomorrow I will buy whool by a farmer, and wash it, card it , when the weather will be better. I'm so excited, I can't wait ! Yes, I'll keep you posted on how it's going. Have a good day !
lov it ....can't wait to try it...thank you .
This was a great video with lots of good information, thank you!
Thanks for sharing :) you make this look so easy !
I love my two louet s 10 and s 15 , use art flyer on both.
Absolutely beautiful yarn!
Thanks for sharing, the yarn looked great!
My pleasure! Thanks for watching.
This was very helpful, thanks!
I'm in nc as well , u made this so easy looking . mine rips away from me
On sped up video it is hard to see how slow I am actually treadling. Sometimes pulling the batt/Roland apart just a bit to fluff it out helps too.
Love your yarn
Mesmerizing!
Fascinating!!!!! So interesting!!!
Thank you Monica. thanks for watching. Xo
Wow beautiful! Can you remember about how much that art batt weighed. Thanks for sharing.
Generally I get between a 2.5 and 3 oz batt from this drum carder. I want to say this batt was closer to 2.5 oz
I could watch this all day!😛
Amazing. Thanks for the video!
I just found your channel and I love you!!
Aw, thanks! Love you back.
Awesome video. It totally got it!
Awesome
I want to do this so much
This Video is marvelous ! 😊👍

Thank you, this is so helpful!
Awesome love it
beautiful
Hi, I am subscribed to you channel! I really enjoy your videos. I would like to learn to do art yarn, thick in part and unusual yarn combos, etc... And I would like to use the tools you are using. Could you do a tutorial on how to pick a carding drum, brushes, mat and spinning tools. What works for you? What do you like? Thank you so much. I really appreciate it! Keep making beauty! Thank you again.
Thanks for this. Indeed I can… and will. Happy spinning
Great video! Thank you.
I love love love your work.I am a beginner and trying to learn. Can you kindly explain how did you wash it?
I usually do a simple hot but not too hot soak for about 20 minutes trying not to agitate too much. Spin excess water in the spin only cycle of my washing machine and hang to dry. If it twists, I will add a weight to the end to block the skein while drying. In a garment, I will only hand wash or dry clean.
Love your idea of using your clipped warp ends as added texture!
Btw, what is that cone yarn that you're using? Size, brand, etc..
It is a random mill end. I live in NC and i can sometime find them in the thrift stores. Left overs from a once flourishing textile industry here. Any sewing thread will work. cones for embroidery machines will also work.
Nice!
Genial!!! Great!!! Greetings from Argentina.
Beautiful yarn thanks :-))
WOW!! très inspirant!! Merci
Love it, great work :)
I am interested in doing a new hobby, I am a knitter but would love to make my own yarn. Any suggestions on where to go to start spinning for supply's? I am in love with the art yarn. Great video.
Jlee T I would suggest trying to get to a fiber festival near you. I know that sounds like a huge trip, but great if you love yarn as well. At a fiber festival you will get to try a bunch of tools for hand spinning. Some of them can get pricey so to actually be able to try a bunch of them and decide what a good starting price point for yourself based on how much you like what you try.
Beautiful yarn :o)
So pretty 😍
Hi, I was wondering this : Does One have a balance issue with technique? Great music, Balanced with narrative .
And I love your bobbin lead wheel.
For the most part I don’t if I wet finish and block the finished skein. Spin a little looser, let the auto wrap thread kind of hold the fibers in check.
Wonderful video! How do you finish this yarn when done spinning? Thanks
janice masson I usually let it sit on the spindle for a day or two. I will soak it in hot water for about 20 minutes to set the twist, spin out the water in my washing machine and weight it when I hang to dry.
have a question on using angelina. how lightfast and durable is it. have used flash years ago is it comparable? Loved watching you spin!
So far, I am finding angelina holds up pretty well. But most of my handspun I hand wash.
Stacy, thanks so much for this wonderful video. I'm wondering what the content and weight is of the thread/yarn you're wrapping with. Also, I need to get one of those adjustable flyers, I'm so sick of moving every time into the hooks.
The auto wrap us a thin mill end thread that is similar to a cotton sewing thread.
I have been crocheting for thirteen years and would really love getting into spinning. Could you give me some tips on how to go about choosing a spinning wheel and how much I should expect to spend? I live in southeast Georgia in the US.
Surviving Child Care buying a spinning wheel can be like buying a bicycle, different people will
Like different wheels for so many reasons. What works for me might be uncomfortable for you. Altitude of it seems to do with body frame. If you are able, a fiber festival is one of the best places to be able to try a few wheels out. There are usually venders which a variety of brand and styles. Don't be afraid to ask to try even if you have not spun on one before. Be aware of the availability and price of the spindles. You will end up buying more. The prices can run $300 for a Babe wheel made out of PVC pipe to $1600 for a really nice Majacraft Aura art yarn wheel. You can get a really good solid wheel for about $750-$800. You might be able to find a little cheaper used, but they generally do not depreciate that much.
You might also consider trying a drop spindle first. Many hand spinners start that way. It is a great way to begin while you look for your perfect wheel.
Hey!! Very new spinner here, super helpful video! I’m curious, does art yarn unravel if it’s not plied? I think you said you just gave this skein a “bath”, does that keep it from unraveling? Thanks!!
Thank you for watching. If the single is not plied a warm or hot water soak will gel set the twist. I also let it rest on the bobbin at least 24 hours before I skein it up to soak.
If you don't ply it, how does it not twist out of shape? Confused 🤔
I usually let it sit on the spindle for 24 hours then soak in hot water to set the twist.
How can I find the link to the bag of fibers for purchase you spoke of in your video?
Eunice TIMBROOK the will be back in the shop after the first of the year, website is getting a overhaul.

I need shelves like the o es you have in the background! Please, where did you get them from?! I'm drowning in yarn! Lol
Lol! I know what you mean. I got these at Kmart but it was at least 8years ago.
Zombiekiller707 ikea is a great place for yarn shelves!
Please show us what you made from this yarn!
I think you must have done the wardrobe for a particular cat in my neighborhood.
