Thank you Felicia !!🧶 I just saw this video 5 years later, but I just got into spinning and I watch many videos and this is a excellent tutorial video !! As one is able to see the twist that goes into the new yarn 🧶🤗!! This tutorial is a classic and I will definitely try a drop spindle now with your method. Thank you!!🤗🌺 , greetings from Fort Lauderdale Fl
+L Robinson thank you so much! I'm preparing some new videos for after the holidays. If there is a specific topic you'd like to see me do, please let me know. :)
Thank you for this wonderful video. It seems this is a very comfortble carding machine. May I ask you where could I find some similiar one? Thanks in advance.
Hi Sabine! Yes, I love this drum carder so much, and get a lot of use from it. It is very well made. I bought it from a lovely friend (her name is Sabine too!) in spinning group. She is near the Stuttgart area; The website is: www.holzwurmwolle.de/
RogueFibers yes, I'm old now but since I was very little I've always wanted to spin, I crochet knit quilting... paint... You name it, but never had the opportunity to learn to spin and learn about different fiber you can make yarn out of (I knew the box stores acrylic very well) I've been watching millions of videos and I have the technique and the understanding (in my head) down pat. My first drop spindle and corriedale wool comes in on the 21st. All this time I thought you HAD to have a spindle to make decent yarn, now I know all I needed was some wool and a stick...if the fiber comes in first I'm gonna get a stick from out side and start!!!! Thank goodness for TH-cam and TH-camrs like you, I'm gonna get to try out a life long dream!!! I might cry, so excited...lol!!!!!!!!!
Gena, that is exciting!! I'm glad you are jumping in with both feet. I prefer to think of the "rules" more like guidelines! I can't wait to hear about your experience after the fiber gets to you. I hope you'll share your journey with me!
I am new to all of this. I’m a hard core crocheter. So, where does one begin if they would like to learn how to do this and what would you suggest would be a good start? Like not deeply financial but a simple start?
Hi Sheri! A great place to start is with a drop spindle, if you want to learn how to spin. If you want to blend fibers, I would start with died felting fiber and hand blend the fibers together.
Hello I have bought your kit and it’s been over a month and still no arrival of it..have messaged via email and it’s not been accepted by your email address..please can you check my order ..cheers
This is a good spinning tutorial, but that’s not woolen spinning. That would use rolags and long draw. This is maybe semi-woolen since it uses rolags. But it’s really more of a worsted drafting merging.
