I would like to say I love the spinning wheel, she looks like a special one.
Aww thank you. I love her too we have spent many happy hours together
Loved watching the process from fluff to yarn. Can't wait to see the jumper come to life. Mr Attic is the spinner in our house. Our little grandaughter loves to treddle, she can't wait to make something.😊xx
Aww that is so cute, I can see why a little one would love to get involved at the spinning wheel, it's so fun to be able to see it whirling around making yarn. I'm so glad you enjoyed the video x
Well as a NEW spinner this was really helpful! And the yarn looks beautiful!
Thank you.....can't wait to see what you do when you get a wheel x
I recently aquired a Shetland, and found this video really helpful. I hope to have many happy hours using it in future. Thanks for your video.
Glad it was helpful, thank you so much for watching. I hope you have many hours of happy spinning ahead with your lovely wheel
Am off to collect my new-to-me antique Haldane tomorrow, actually my 2nd wheel but I've been wanting one for ages and now, so excited!
Your user guide was so useful, I'll be able to use the info when I see it before I commit so that I can check it works ok.
Thanks so much for sharing the explanation how it all works Angela! ❤
Also really nice that you're a Brit it's a refreshing change on these reels.
Best wishes Melanie 😊
Yay so glad you found the video useful. I hope you enjoy your Haldane as much as I love mine. What is your other wheel? If you don’t mind me asking 🤞🤣🧡
WOW, thats a huge effort....well done you!! x
Thank you Christine, it's taken a while, but I have thoroughly enjoyed the process
Hey, Angela, Yes, I'm Glad you got a video. Yes. Yes.
I Totally enjoy watching you spin that yarn up. What a wonderful job you did. Angela
Thank you so much Tina xx
Really enjoyed this, thank you. Having acquired one recently I've noticed that there aren't many videos with Haldanes on YT, so this is very much appreciated.
Something useful I learned is that the whorl is attached by a reverse direction threaded nut. Just in case there's anyone else out there who might be puzzled as to why the confounded thing won't come off. Righty loosey, lefty tighty is so counter intuitive!😂
Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you so much for watching and for taking the time to leave such a lovely and helpful comment too 🥰🧡😃
I just bought a Shetland, for £22 at an auction. I was wondering what was up with the whorl.😊
Tea AND Angela AND either working on my sweater or balling up my gnome yarns 💚💚💚
oh what did you do in the end.....My vote is Gnome :D
The yarn looks fantastic. I can't wait for you to knit it into a sweater. You clever girl. Woolly hugs.x 🐱👍
Aww thank you Christine, sending woolly hugs straight back to you. Happy Valentines xx
Beautiful yarn...love the colors.
Well, I think its great that you taught yourself and are doing so wonderfully. There's hope for me lol
I’m so excited by this project I don’t know how you feel lol! It’s been great to see the process from start to finish as you spin the fibre so I can’t wait to see how the project turns out!
You’re just one step away from getting your own sheep and spinning straight from source haha
I have to say I am very excited to have finished but also a bit apprehensive that after all that spinning the finished piece might just end up looking like a dogs dinner, hehe!!
I did suggest to James that we should get a couple of sheep but he's not keen on the idea, maybe I'll just bring home a fleece or two instead......wonderwool is coming up afterall!!
Lovely spin. I am excited to see what you make with it. Thank you for taking us through the process. Watching you spin was so relaxing. Have you thought about just doing like a slow tv sit and spin with only the noise of the wheel? xx
Thank you so much I'm so glad you enjoyed it. I did have a couple of requests for that type of video when I asked for suggestions so I'm sure I will do something like that soon
Thanks for sharing this. This makes me even more passionate about fibre arts. Hope one day I am able to follow in your footsteps.
Aww thank you for such a kind comment, I'm so glad you enjoyed the video
really great explanations!
Thank you Sally that is so kind of you to say x
Enjoyed your video. I also have a Haldane Shetland that I need to put together and learn to spin on it and my new Donegal spinning wheel from Ireland I ordered from Johnny Shiels.
Oh that’s so exciting, hope you enjoy your new wheels 😃
Hi Ange. The yarn is so you with all that orange! You kept me company while I was doing a tubular cast on. Have you chosen a sweater yet? I’m off to California on Saturday, whoo Hoo, I cant wait. Loved the video as always. Kathy
Yay so happy that I got to keep you company I love to hear what everyone is up to while they are watching. I am toying with the idea of the Just the Right Angle, as that seems to be easily adaptable for any weight and quantity of yarn. But I will swatch as soon as I can to see what gauge I want to knit at and then will have a search around on rav for patterns before I make a final decision
Its turned out so beautifully! Maybe knit the jumper top down?
Thank you, Yes I think that will be the perfect way to do it as I can then make the most of every last metre
Nowadays I take my spare yarn to the Flea Market. Everyone wants the smallest two-ply worsted yarn I can make. Sometimes I can't give away the heavier two-ply woollen spun yarn. Absolutely nothing keeps my feet warmer than my knitted wool socks.
Oh that’s such a great idea Logan
Hi Angela, I found this so helpful and fascinating. Thank you! Do you soak the yarn in hot water? I hope you are glowing with pride for the yarn you made because it is completely gorgeous.
Aww thank you, you are making me blush x I soak the yarn in lukewarm water rather than hot, I find that reduces the risk both of colour running and also of felting/fulling the fibres
