Celebrating Distaff Day: carding and blending wool, sending packages, and spinning w/ a ring distaff
Hello friends! January 7th is Distaff Day, where after the holidays of Christmas, we're allowed to start spinning again (not that I ever stop spinning). To celebrate the holiest of days Saint Distaff Day my Patrons and I organised a little Saint Distaff Day Secret Santa Gift Exchange. In this video I will prepare the floofs for whomever gets my gift. Sadly, I did not receive my gift of floofs, so instead I added the video, which at first was a Patreon exclusive, of my spinning some Andean Mountain Sheep wool on a ring distaff for the very first time.
So hopefully you enjoy this chaotic mishmash of footage of both carding on a drumcarder, blending some wool fibers and spinning some other wool into yarn.
If you want to join in on the chaos, you can join the patreon via: www.patreon.com/MijnWolden
You can also find me on Ravelry and Instagram as @MijnWolden
If you enjoy spinning, yarn, knitting, fiber arts or any other traditional craft and fiber shenanigans then this channel is right up your alley. Maybe you could hit that subscribe button?

Carding and spinning ALL the wool I dyed in 2024 into the Ultimate Chaos Yarn
Переглядів 5 тис.День тому
Hello friends! The past year I have dyed so many floofs of sheep's wool with natural dyeing methods. And I have yet to spin them all into yarn. To celebrate the start of a new year, here's the plan: let's put all of those dyed bits of wool onto my drumcarder, let's card all of it into a chaos batt, and then spin it into chaos yarn. That seems like a fitting end to 2024/start to 2025. In this ba...

Blending and spinning handdyed wool to match (or, well, dupe) storebought fiber
Переглядів 4,9 тис.21 день тому
Hello friends! I knit TinCan Knits Antler Toque for myself a couple of months ago, and ever since my mom has been pointing out how much she likes that hat. And with her birthday coming up: let's knit her one of these cute cabled hats as well. However, here's the challenge: I run out of yarn after only knitting the ribbing. And the store where I bought the fiber no longer sells this braid of com...

Hello friends! It is time for some more vintage knitting shenanigans. And shenanigans it will be. I am basing this sweater knitting project on Bestway A 1916 4d, "Blue bird jumper", but let's make the birds more vintage. More vintage birds? Yes, dinosaurs of course! I'm swapping the swallow motif of one of my favourite dinosaur: the parasaurolophus. Oh btw, this is entirely knit in handspun yar...

D20 Dice decides How to Knit a Sophie Scarf: adding Chaos to a Cult Classic
Переглядів 5 тис.Місяць тому
Hello friends! I still had some leftover handspun polwarth yarn, and I don't have enough knitting projects it seems. So let's make ourselves a little autumn scarf with that yarn! My first plan was the Turtle Dove scarf by Sari Nordlund, but that wasn't the best choice for the wool, so we shifted gears and went with the cult classic Sophie Scarf from PetiteKnit. Yep, you guessed it. We are once ...
Let's spin some zwartbles wool into yarn to commemorate a dearly beloved pet sheep
Переглядів 3,7 тис.Місяць тому
Hello friends! Do you remember the zwartbles I spun during Tour de Fleece 2023? One of those sheep, Vic, has sadly passed away this year. He succumbed to the bluetongue virus that has made many victims in Belgium and the Netherlands. Vic was a pet sheep, so a beloved pet for his owners. Today I am spinning some of his wool into yarn as a keepsake for his owner, some skeins of yarn to remember h...
Spin with me: Let's Spin a Corriedale Combospin
Переглядів 6 тис.2 місяці тому
Hello friends! In the beginning of October I went to a fiber festival and picked up two beautiful handdyed combed top braids to spin. They were dyed by the indie dyer Speckles in the Forest. And with my albeit limited knowledge of colourtheory, I immediately saw that these two braids would be absolutely perfect for a combospin. And that is actually all that this video entails: we are going to s...

Hello friends! 5 K subscribers! That calls for a (belated) celebration. So today we'll make our own merchandise, the way we know best: DIY it. Knit it. And then embroider it.

But I wouldn't be me if I didn't try to add some ...
