Online course promo: Tease your wool – invite air before carding
In this short lecture you will learn about the benefits of teasing your wool before carding. Teasing the wool will be less straining for your body and the fibers, make the carding easier and leave less waste. The rolags you card with teased wool will be more even and the yarn of higher quality. In the lecture I will also show you a few different ways to tease your wool - with your hands, with a hand card, with a flicker and with mini combs.

New online course! In this short lecture I talk about the Twist Model and what happens between spun and unspun and the point right in between. I also talk about what we can do with this section of the yarn to have less strain on the body, less strain on the fiber, to get a more evenly spun yarn and to be able to listen to the wool. With a theoretical framework and practical examples with differ...
Rehackling flax
Переглядів 3 тис.2 роки тому
In this video I show you how I rehackle flax that has been stored for a long time. These stricks of flax have been stored since probably the 1940's, but any flax that I don't spin directly after the original hackling I rehackle. Like any other fiber preparation, hackling is fresh produce. The separation of fibers will sink back together with time and make the spinning more challenging. The fres...

I love this video and your gentle smile of contentment <3
😮 this is amazing! I've not seen this one before
What a tranquil video! I too find the feel of thread running through my fingers very relaxing 🌸🌼
That's poetic
Wondering why so much of the process has your backs bent?
Very helpful. Thanks.
What type of fiber prep did you use for this longdraw please?
Song credit, please!
Supermysig video! <3
I do same but wind with my right hand! It’s. It is very satisfying .
I’m watching this on the train! I brought my support spindle with me, but needed a refresher and started looking for videos. This was a really fun and helpful find!
Finally an ASMR I like! 😂. Also, I can’t for the life of me get that kind of drawl from roving. I can from the fold but not from a strip like that. Beautiful work!!!!
Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed it 😊
Beautiful. Thank you ❤
Thank you for watching! 😊
Hi! Your ply on the fly Turkish spindle video got my trying it and starting to learn this and while I’m spinning I’m finding more of your videos and I so so so appreciate you making and posting these. I’m fostering a toddler (my granddaughter who is three and so all my wheels are locked safely away and I’ve taken a huge re interest in my spindles that I have never really gotten much use of. I’m learning to truly love these and I also have quite a few and plying as I go seems much more fun as well as productive! I have 3 grown daughters and I know two for sure might catch on from my experiences! Just wanted to say thank you a million times over!
@@paulettegaleener6754 Thank you! I’m so glad you are rediscovering and enjoying your spindles. I have a spinning blog at waltin.se/josefinwaltinspinner if you are interested, and an online spinning school at josefinwaltinspinner.teachable.com. In the second half of 2025 my spinning book will be released. Happy spinning!
So neat! Have a renewed interest in the Turkish spindle spinning and hope very much to learn this ply on the fly technique. My grandmother that gave me my love for all textile arts was Austria-Hungarian before coming to America. ❤ I never thought to ask her who taught her to crochet. It’s very interesting that you allow the spindle to hang, spin and balance itself. So fascinating and I’m sure your yarn is very lovely as is your sweater! Thanks for sharing this video!
@@paulettegaleener6754 Thank you! The hanging and balancing is possible with a freshly spun single. If the single has been on the spindle for a while, the energy of the yarn would have settled and not trustworthy.
Helpful video. How many people know how to flax dress a distaff?? Flax is a tricky fibre. The music is perfect for the presentation. Better than words.
Thank you! 😊
You look so peaceful. Thank you for this lovely video. I am looking forward to giving this a try myself.
Spinning usually does that to me 😊
Estou encantada com este fuso mas ainda não conseguir achar pra comprar Gosto de praticar pra relaxar antes de dormir me faz muito bem obrigado por compartilhar
The spindle is an early model from Björn Peck, bjornpeck dot se His spindles are spectacular!
I'd love to have a go on one of these, I'm *so* bad at long draw currently and this would force me! I can't stop looking at the clock reel though - I have a very similar one but mine has three gears, two of 10 teeth each, the second of which drops a hammer after a complete rotation, so as it makes a 1.5m skein, we've started referring to 150m of yarn as a Bonk. The last gear counts in 16s for some reason but the hammer is missing and it's a bit out of alignment with the others because there were missing teeth. Probably my favourite loppis find, until the surprisingly-good battered wheel.
...well I was meant to be spinning some random white top which the label fell off into random lace-weight yarn to use for a natural dye session with a friend, but this inspired me so what I've been doing for the last hour or so is carding scraps into rather rubbish rolags and practicing my long draw :D I'm not actually as bad at it as I thought!
It was a beautiful opportunity to try the great wheel. Clock reels seem to be hard to find, even the ones without a functioning counter.
@@josefinwaltin Indeed and I've not seen another with three gears when I've searched.
How do you attach the leader to get started?
Usually I pull out some fiber from the distaff and roll it into a leader against my thigh and then make a half-hitch or two around the belly of the spindle.
I’m waiting for my supported spindle to come in the mail :) can’t wait to try this!
Ooh, lovely! 😊
Thank you very much, I was looking for a video which shows how yarn is made from cotton. You are amazing
Thank you! 😊
You and your work are amazing ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you! 😊
Your spindle looks similar to a spindolyn.
That is so awesome! That must take so much coordination. Have never seen or heard of that type of wheel.. Thanks so much for sharing
Thank you! Yes, it does require lots of coordination, of spinning, handling the fiber and walking.
In my language (afrikaans) spin and purr is also the same
Yes!
It's kinda beautiful watching you willow (like a form of art).
Thank you! I had lots of fun doing it 😊
I’m very new to spinning and have never seen fibre spun on a great wheel. This is so impressive!🤩
It’s a wonderful experience!
I spin with my right hand. ??????😮 you spin beautifully.
Thank you! I recommend you learn to spin with both hands 😊
Now that I think of it, I do draft with my left with I use either of my great wheels. Now I need to challenge myself to use my left hand with my spindles.😊
I am homosexual
Wow! That's incredible! What are is the wheel "rim" made out of? The design reminds me a lot of Japanese spinning wheels, except bamboo and wood was used.
The rims are made of bent wood and joined with a ribbon. The Japanese, Chinese and Indian wheels were way earlier than the medieval European great wheels and inspired the making of them.
Have you ever been in Turkey? Turkish women does as you do .
No, I haven’t. It’s a lovely way to spin!
Help! I discovered a wonderful video of you spinning cotton on a navajo spindle. This video isn’t listed in your library. How can I find it again? It was just what I needed to continue spinning cotton. I appreciate all your videos and your help in finding this wonderful video again. Thank you!
Email me at josefin at waltin dot se and I hope I can help you :)
Although I've spun long draw before, I've never broken down the steps like this before. Can't wait to make a more consistent yarn. Thankyou Josefin.
Thank you, and happy spinning!
Wow. That is awesome. Love the video.
I came here after reading Proverbs 31 which talks about the blessing of having a woman that works like this 😍
You look like you are having so much fun 😂
We were! 😁
Beautiful, informative and relaxing. Just discovered this method and your videos are excellent for me to understand the reason behind certain well established actions. Thank you so much
Thank you, I’m glad you enjoy what I do 😊
Thank you for this video and the description of what she is doing... amazing to see people working on this.
Thank you! 😊
It looks so easy - and is not at all.... Nice to watch!
It does take practice :)
This is SO helpful. Thank you for the closeups and slo mo.
Lovely, you’re welcome! 😊
I whish, I could spin a tenth so good! Lovely video! 😍
Thank you! 😊
Brilliant!
Thank you! 😊
Tack för den här videon!❤
Tack för att du tittar 😊
I was thrilled to see you opening up cotton with sticks as my mother used to do that.
Fantastic video ! I was looking for something that vaugely showed the process, and this showed in it detail and answered questions I didn’t know I had ! Very thorough while still being accessible to laypeople :)
Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed it!
I never got the hang of spinning myself, so I truly admire this skilled spinster.
