    This fair is absolutely dreamy to watch, I would lose myself and spend a fortune on all of these beautiful artisan wools and yarns and not to mention all the gorgeous tools and finished goods, and the adorable sheep 🐑 it's one of my biggest dreams to have land and a flock of my own sheep, goats, and alpacas and spin up, and dye my own yarns to knit and crochet with. Fiber nerd heaven.

    Please take us along with you when you do the felting kit and the fleece-to-whatever journey! Gosh, *five* pounds - I have a friend who had a whole fleece and - that’s a *lot* to take on!

    This looked like a great festival. Thanks for sharing what you saw and purchased. It will be very interesting to see the items you make from the beautiful yarn you purchased as well as watching you spin and weave the wool you bought. Would very much like to join in your learning experience of felting. Happy Birthday to your Mom, and did you say it was also your b-day? If so, Happy birthday to you as well!

    Happy birthday to your mom! I've only been to Rhinebeck once (which is bordering on shameful, as I live WAY closer than you,) but I had an amazing time! I bought many things. ...I don't think I've used any of them, yet.
    I'd love to see all the fiber adventures you care to share with us!

    i have a cardigan that was the first thing my friend Pat mad from the yarn she spun from her own sheep. She came to the UK to visit family and brought the project with her but didnt have room to take it back as she had so many family keepsakes from her mom. Its too small now but Ill never part with it.. Cant wait to see your projects take shape,

    Several of these vendors were at SAFF this past weekend! I saw Miss Babs and White Birch, although I didn't buy anything from them this year - I still have a gradient cake of my own of the baby camel and silk blend from White Birch to knit up from 2019!

  • @hitzchicky
    @hitzchicky 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    You may already follow them, but if you don't, I'd like to suggest for your fleece to sweater journey to check out Trish from Fiber Love Diary and Jillian from JillianEve. They both have some great videos on cleaning fleeces and spinning. Super knowledgeable and very fun to watch!

    Happy belated birthday to Engineering Mom! You’re speaking to my heart through this whole episode, particularly with the “sheep to sweater” at the end. The desire to learn to spin is growing every day… I’ve been shopping spindles and treadle machines for months. I would LOVE to see your process in spinning and weaving your beautiful fleece. Thank you for sharing your trip to Rhinebeck. I want to go someday!!

  • @DebiSmithPouliot
    @DebiSmithPouliot 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I haven't been to Rhinebeck in about 15 years. It just became too crowded and crazy. You are brave getting an unwashed fleece. You might want to wear rubber gloves when you wash it. I've washed some in the past an got a rash on my hands. Sheep are pasture animals. Just imagine what weeds and thorny bits they can get into while in the pasture. I used to buy unwashed fleeces but I'm at the point where I would rather pay a bit extra and get one that's washed. It sounds like you had a wonderful time.

    its strange how some things just feel and look right to one,,, when you showed the Gotland sheep (lamb here) fleece i just went "yup, thats right, thats it". i guess it makes sense since im from gotland and theres sheep skins in every home: couch, bed and floor haha. theyre so cozy^^
    much love from Gotland^^

    Oh my god, Mending Life!!!! I have this book, and it is both a lovely instructional mending book as well as a collection of heartwarming stories and grants a poetic perspective to the art and act of mending! I found the illustrations very helpful, since I'm more a visual learner. :D

    Oooh! Those fleeces are stunning! I got my first fleeces a few weeks ago at the Taos wool festival (2 gotland teeswater, and a navajo churro) and I have similar plans to go from sheep to sweater. It's a lot of work - I've washed mine and have been combing/carding a little here and there. It's definitely going to keep me busy for a while! I'd love to follow your adventures with your fleece as well!

    @FriidaK 3 ปีที่แล้ว +18

    Belated happy birthday to “Mom”🥳 good luck with your spinning endeavours! I have the same goal of going from sheep to garment but have had to put the project on hold while my arms heal. Will you use a wheel to spin or start with a spindle?😊

    • @EngineeringKnits
      @EngineeringKnits  3 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      I hope your arms heal quickly! I think I'm going to try my hand at using a spinning wheel! I've tried using a drop spindle before and found the coordination much more difficult than using the spinning wheel I was allowed to try once!

    • @maliora
      @maliora 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @@EngineeringKnits I'd suggest trying a supported spindle if you're interested in spindles at all (obviously feel free to go straight to a wheel if you want). I find supported spindles make more sense for me because I can curl up on the couch and finagle with the wool without worrying that the weight of the spindle is going to pull it apart.

    • @sarahredmond4074
      @sarahredmond4074 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I second trying supported spindles - I always drop my drop spindles and found them frustrating. I jumped straight in to spinning wheels though, and now have an addiction to antique spinning wheels…

First I want to say how incredibly lucky you are that you and your mom enjoy the same things my mother and I were total opposites she was a cleaner but not a crafter and I hate cleaning and I just love every form of crafting there is and I pretty much tried it all I would have given anything to be able to enjoy Rhinebeck with my mother and just the purchase of all that fun stuff. I enjoyed watching this so so much, it is wonderful to have a partner in crime so to speak!

    Everything looks so lovely. Yarn and craft fairs are also so much fun!! I miss them.
    I’m sure that you will have no problem doing the needle felting. I have a friend who has a sheep farm and does felting. Years ago I needle felted a small landscape with sheep on the bottom of my jeans while visiting. The jeans are rags now but I cut off my decorations!! Anyway I would love to see your needle felting project and anything else you want to show us!!!

    I am in the middle of my own brown sheep sweater, a basic plain raglan by percentages. Mine is currently about 2" below the arm holes and heading onward. I'm doing it in a 3 ply yarn, spun in the grease (on a wheel) from flick-carded locks and plied up before being washed, thwacked, and hung to dry. This is my first ever sweater, but I'm sure it will be fine. :) It fits so far, anyway, and I don't think it'll go far wrong from here on out. Best of luck on your journey, and I hope you have as much fun with your sheep-to-whatever project as I am having with mine!

    Another belated happy birthday from me to your mom.
    Also, I am interested in watching you (or, another soft spoken TH-camr you prefer to recommend) processing the wool, especially washing & drying it. I know how to card, spin &weave, at a basic level. I would be interested in the whole process, but, most curious about the tricks of safely washing it.
    Congratulations on your new loom.
    My preference, should you want to know, is in watching fiber arts, of one sort or another, so, yes, interested in watching a felting video.
