@ Diolch yn fawr. Dw i’n dysgu Cymraeg ar Duolingo. Dw i’n bwy yn yr Alban. Sorry about my mistakes in Welsh. I am delighted that you speak it. Such a great tongue.

@@mariakirchner6437 good to meet you too! Thank you for being here! ✨️

@spindelnett6315 so lovely to read your comment, and I absolutely agree. It's so important to keep these skills going. Sounds like you have a wonderful place! I'd love to do some wattle and daub one day. And yes woodstoves! We find it is a constant job to keep the firewood flowing! My husband recently did a coppicing and green woodworking course locally with Coppicewood College. He learnt so much which we now apply to our own little patch of forest. It's such an honour to be a guardian of woodland. So glad you're here ✨️

Lovely to have you here - thank you for subscribing!

Thank you! Glad to have you here! ✨️

Thank you for your beautiful comment. Looking forward to connecting further with future videos! ✨️

Hello there! Yes absolutely. I am hoping to get more listed this week. I am waiting for a day when it is not raining so that I can photograph them in the woods, but so far it has been non-stop rain! Hopefully soon! 🤞

@lostartsofnature6113 thank you so much! Stay dry!!

Good to have you here! 😊

Glad you are here! ✨️

Hello there! So interesting to hear about your experiences. The wheel and the spindle are two different creatures aren't they? Despite having so many similarities, they are quite different to use. I have enjoyed both, but I do love that drop spinning is so portable. So glad to have you here! ✨️

Thank you for your lovely comment! ✨️

Oh great that you will have a go at wet-felting! That is what I will be doing today too. Wool is so versatile isn't it? That's why I love working with it so much. So glad to connect with you, and very grateful to have you here ✨️🍂

Thank you for your lovely comment! I hope you had a lovely weekend ✨️🍂

That is so kind, thank you so much! I am new to making tutorial videos so that is great to hear that I'm on the right track! Thank you for being here! ✨️

This is so wonderful! I am so happy to hear that you have been enjoying spinning! I hope to publish the plying video soon. In the meantime, keep going! It's such a lovely way to spend time ✨️🍂

Oh that sounds lovely! So glad you are here! ✨️🍂

Wow! What a beautiful piece of family history - thank you for sharing that with me. Working with chairs and furniture is such a skill! ✨️🍂

You're so welcome! It is lovely to immerse in making of all kinds isn't it ✨️💛

You're so welcome! I am glad you enjoyed it!

You're so very welcome! I'm really glad it was helpful. My name is Marie. Good to connect with you. Plying video is on its way...

So happy to hear that you will have another go at drop spinning - that's so lovely! I'm so glad you found the video helpful. How is it in Norway at the moment? Do you have snow? It's definitely getting chilly here, but I'm sure it's nowhere near as cold as it is with you! Happy knitting! I am knitting some socks for my daughter at the moment, and really enjoying the process.

@@lostartsofnature6113 No snow yet, bur it is about freezing most nights. Longing for the snow though, because I love snuggling up in the sofa, lighting some candles, with a cup tea or a glass of wine with the company with som wooly projects when the snow is falling outside #hopelesslyromantic

​@bbbenjaminsen that sounds wonderful! 🌨❄️

Hello! Great to 'meet' you! Enjoy your spinning!

Thank you so much for buying one of the drop spindle kits! It should be with you by now - I really hope you enjoy it! Plying video is on its way...

Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment. I made this video so long ago now, it was lovely to be reminded of it! Yes you're absolutely right about the stalks, seeds etc. Apple Cider Vinegar is very forgiving! And good to know about the stainless steel, thank you!

Thank you for your lovely comment. Yes you can use the yarns for weaving - they weave up beautifully. I also use them in my dreamcatchers, or to hang things up around my home, or strung onto bunting... various ways to use them. Also, I hear you on the knitting front, but do you crochet? It crochets up beautifully too. I will get the next video made as soon as I can! It's wonderful to see how many people are interested in drop spinning! ☺

Haha! They actually don't affect me too badly afterwards (as in, I don't react to the bites) It's just annoying at the time they are biting me! But if I do get other insect bites, I use a Calendula Balm (made from beeswax and calendula-infused olive oil) It works a treat!

@lostartsofnature6113 ah, good to know that calendula works for insect bites - thank you! To try to avoid midge bites on an evening walk, I make a little mix of lavender and peppermint essential oils in a carrier oil and dab a wee bit just under my hairline at my forehead or on my neck below my ears - I think it really helps. They mustn't like the smell😂

@lostartsofnature6113 your spinning demonstration really mesmerised me and made me want to try. Thank you for sharing this wonderful craft with us. I Iook forward to exploring your channel further😊

​@craftdipper thank you! Great tip about how to avoid the insect bites! Glad to have you here and looking forward to connecting further with future videos ✨️🍂

Thank you Ann - sorry for the delay replying! Yes absolutely you can purchase rolags from me. I stock only mini rolags (the same size as will be in your drop spinning box) at present, but as soon as I can invest in a drum carder I will have larger rolags for sale too. I will get some stock up on my Etsy shop soon. Your drop spinning kit is on its way to you now! Have fun! ☺

Yay! So glad you will be picking it up again! Have fun! ☺

Wool has tiny hooks/scales on the fibres. This is what allows wool to felt to make , well, felt, and is also why wool garments unless made with super wash yarn, have to be treated very gently when wet. There's always a risk of felting with wet wool. Anyway it's these scales that allow wool a certain amount of "stickiness" that means it holds together during spinning. This is why most newbie spinners start with wool, because it's the easiest. Alpaca, bamboo or silk (to give a few examples of non beginner fibres)are much trickier to spin because they don't really hold together like wool does(alpaca does a bit, but not as much as wool)They're mostly easier spun on a wheel where they don't have to take the weight of the spindle.

@@Амин-т4х I just realized I hadn't really answered your question completely. As to why wool doesn't untwist in the spinning, it WILL if you release tension, however when a wool single(single spun thread) is combined with another single and plied, they hold because partly wool is sticky, and partly because a plied yarn consists of 2 or more singles, all spun in the same direction, which are then twisted together in the OPPOSITE direction. They both try to unwind and because they're going opposite ways, it locks the twist into the yarn. It's incredibly ingenious. Ancient humans were very smart.

Glad you enjoyed watching! It's a lovely way to work with wool. Let me know if you try it 🙂

Thank you! I love making them!

Thank you so much for your lovely comment! I'm so glad that the close-up was helpful. Please do reach out if I can help further, it's such a lovely relaxing hobby once it gets going ☺

I'm not sure what part of the world you're in, but you might want to be wary of "packets" in a multipurpose craft store - they're probably meant for felting and may already be mostly felted. You may be able to get some semi-local combed top or roving (much better for beginners) on etsy, or if you're in the US, fiberlovediary, the spinnery store, the woolery, or paradise fibers.

@@Which-Craft Thank you for the information. I kinda wondered if that may be the problem too. I received my hand carders today and I also received 1 pound of Corriedale roving. I haven’t had a moment to open it up yet. I purchased it from Revolution Fibers. I live in Virginia USA. I wish I could find someone nearby that I can go get a fleece from after I know what I’m doing…🤣 It would have to be washed outside though. I need to learn more about wool. I got the Corriedale wool roving because that was recommended for learning to spin with the drop spindle. I had no idea there are so many different types of sheep! 😊 I better let you go or I will babble too much. Anything you want to alert me to that could help me I will be most appreciative. You have a wonderful evening. 😊

@@tammyadams7965 keep in mind the channels i mentioned lean toward wheel spinning, so this lady here is going to be your drop spindle guide. :)

@@Which-Craft Thank you! I have heard of The Woolery and I believe I saved it in my favorites. 😊

Ah - let me go and check the Etsy shop. Maybe they sold out. I will go and re-list it! Thank you for letting me know! 🙂

I have just listed 4 more boxes, so they are ready in the Etsy shop when you are 😊

thank you!

So glad to hear that you have picked it back up again. I find it such a lovely thing to sit and do in the evenings!

@dominiquescalia104 of course, great idea! I have been thinking of putting together a supply pack / kit for people to purchase from my Etsy store. I can fast track that idea if that is something people would be interested in 😊

@@tammyemanuel5036 hi there, thank you for your lovely comment. I love the thought of these as a mobile for a newborn ❤️ It might be an idea to explore making these as a smaller size and then hanging them on different length threads so they are at different heights. You could either hang them in a line or in a circle. That could look really pretty 😍

Thank you so much! I will! ✨️

@pollogmoody5746 thank you! I am planning the next video to be published soon! So glad you liked this one 😊

Thank you Linda ✨️

Thank you Jan! I'm so pleased with how they turned out. Can't wait to do some more now, but I need the weather to be dry on a day when I'm able to dedicate the time to it! x

thank you Eddie! Really appreciate that. It's nerve-wracking getting in front of the camera!

A natural. ❤️
