Wow! You nailed getting the same diameter and twist angle in both yarns! That’s way cool! I could see the difference in the yarn. The woolen spun was definitely fuzzier on the video. I hope you had a good rest day. I’m looking forward to your sock spin! harpingJanet
Our heat is very low here in New Zealand at the moment. We are in winter. Frosts overnight and highs of about 11 degrees Celsius Bring on summer I am enjoying your Tour spinning it’s fabulous. Thank you for sharing
I would love a little cold snap here! I recently finished watching a series shot in New Zealand called Brokenwood Mysteries on BBC. The actors always seemed to have a light jacket on and it made me wonder if it ever got hot there?! LOL! I actually asked Alexa what’s the average temp in NZ! lol! Glad you are enjoying the tour! More fibery goodness ahead! Soon Happy!
@@jkfiberarts I wouldn’t say Brokenwood Mysteries is true representation of NZ lol. Phil Spencer is doing a good series on beautiful (& very expensive) homes here which does show the scenery off very nicely. But to be honest it is a lot colder here in the winter than it used to be (global warning 🤷♀️) Keep up the spinning I’m looking forward to the next instalment 😍
You deserve a break! Thanks so much for sharing the tip about the Lazy Kate! Looking forward to seeing your sock spin. I have a braid of SW w/ nylon that I want to save and spin for socks at some point. Think you will try to spin it for a 4-ply?
Ohh I didn't see it was a premiere! But I am always happy to see your videos! BTW I do not know if you take video suggestions, but I was wondering if you could make a video explaining about twist-angle? I am having trouble understanding it. Thank you so much for your videos!
I do! But I have done a detailed video on that. th-cam.com/video/lE3MEQj3T8Q/w-d-xo.htmlsi=swkTw-LudoWlEiUM let me know if it leaves you with unanswered questions! Thanks for watching! And Spin Happy!
Hubs and I are traveling overnight for our anniversary so I spun for a while this morning while he fed sheep and tomorrow I will spin when we get home. Will it still count as Tuesday if I push past midnight🤔 Your yarn today is beautiful (like usual)
Do you mean the plyback when spinning singles? I use that to let me know what my angle of ply will be when the singles are plied together. It gives you a good idea what your final 2ply yarn will look like. If you mean the ply back during the ply. That should have a gentle back twist. If it has too much twist you won’t have a balanced yarn.
Could you do a video showing the two spinning tools you use to measure your singles and twist etc and explain how to use them to make different singles for different finished yarns? I have one but I don’t think I understand how to use it.
Like to See you when you plying, its so interesting!
I learn from you quite a Lot!❤❤❤❤

Thanks! I was worried the video wasn’t capturing it. Glad you could tell. 👍🏻

It’s called New Zealand’s best homes with Phil Spencer
@suefisher5531 I don’t know if I get that here in the US. I will look for it. Thanks!

Nah. I don’t want it to take forever. I will 3-ply.

I say sure! Enjoy your getaway! Happy Anniversary!
When you’re doing your payback twist check while plying what are you looking for and why and if it’s not that what do you adjust?

Maybe I should have planned a premiere more than just hitting the button and hoping for the best!😂😂😂
Community notes.. with a heads up maybe.
How is everyone’s tour going so far?
Hi Guys! Thought I would try a premiere video and see if anyone is on to chat! My fingers need a break from spinning so thin!!!
