If you’re going to make a quilt try thrifted fabric.

Patchwork with cotton and no pins is much easier than shiny stuff.

I think you need a rotary cutter and a mat marked in inches. Very interesting to follow your design process.

Such a beautiful place to live!

Lovely dyeing on the Gotland, I will be trying that on my own Gotland fleece!

Another fibre to get hold of and try! I am really enjoying watching this video series. Thank you x

Canada is metric, but with the US as our neighbour, we kind of switch back and forth depending haha. Also, I was giggling at your wheel chattering at you - I have two Kromski wheels that work basically the same way, and one is chatty and the other is silent 🤷🏻‍♀️

We are metric here in Australia. I am enjoying your rare breed spin, I have the Ashford Traveller from the mid 80's, I also have an e-spinner as last year I did some damage to my knee and the arthritis in my ankle is a bit of a brake on treading as I need to stop and rest it. If I am doing a large spin I will have to do it on the E-spinner but for the smaller spins my Traveller works beautifully

I always enjoy your videos and am particularly interested to follow your spin-a-long. I am a new spinner, learning on my own and watching you is helping me. Even though I am not spinning rare breeds, I’m interested to learn and in the meantime, I am practicing on some corriedale. Still producing a very inconsistent yarn, but I know it just takes time and patience, both of which I have these days, lucky me! My goal is to produce yarn that I can us for my weaving as well.

Spinning along an ounce of Rambouillet from an advent. Hoping to create a 4-ply fingering without losing my mind. It’s touch and go, you are providing a nice backdrop.

Spinning a beautiful off white wool, don't know breed but it's fun. Love your videos, & especially seeing your coast & learning abt things u find! I'm from Oregon in usa

Hi Becca, your traddie has very similar "special features" to mine! Mine seems to like a lot of oil, or that's what I'm told when she starts clunking. I do think it is rather amazing we can still buy original replacement parts nearly 50 years later! I will admit my traddie is not my go to wheel but she still gets a spin out occasionally. What attracted me to spinning in the first place is the flexibility and versatility you have when you make your own yarn. The huge array of natural fibres out there was also a big attraction and this list only seems to get longer which is still exciting even after years of spinning. Thank you for all your work and a lovely video, all points well made and balanced. Happy spinning, best wishes Jenny

Hello from Norway ☺️ I found you for a week or so, and I am soglad I found you🥰 you are doing alomost all what I'm doing, and your breath of fresh air i so lovley . At the moment I'm spinning Blackface, it is not that common in Norway, but I am so lucky that a farmer near me have them😊 i think it' going to be socks. Keep up the good work👍

Looking forward to your weaving with your beautiful handspun! Thanks Becca!

Hi Becca, I hope you're both OK and Millie is too xxx ❣️❣️❣️🐕‍🦺 Thankyou so much for sharing this video podcast. I've stripped my White Faced Woodland, down into manageable pieces ready to spin. Mine is pre-dyed Roving. Now to start spinning it up. Thank you for saying that it wasn't as smooth as the Lonk, I did wonder whether it was the fibre itself or if it was from the Dyeing process 😊 I hope you have a Wonderful Week and Weekend 😊😊 Happy Spinning Special fibre friend 🛞🥰🐑🥰 Take care and stay safe Lots of love and big hugs to you and Andrew and Cuddles for Millie... Jen xxxx 💗💗💗💗💗💗👤👤👤👤👤👤🐕‍🦺👤👤

This was a very good conversation about spinning local wool. Here in the USA we are privileged to have so many farmers with fleece available to local spinners. I don't know what the regs are now for the UK for fleece, but at least used to require the majority of the fleece (if not all) to go to the wool pool. The last time I checked it is ok to import raw fleece to the US, as long as it's well skirted and moderately clean. It would be nice to be able to buy from some of the farmer's there, but I don't know how costly shipping is at the moment. You had me giggling at the advertisement comment. 😅

Wonderful. Early start to the days spin. Thankyou Becca. Will you show us the finished yarn when you’ve completed it?

My yarn is soft but my needles are just a wee bit slow - the pattern I'm knitting isn't actually all that complicated but it's just complicated enough that I can get a bit lost at times! The project in question is Kristine Vike's "As you like it" shawl and I'm doing the dragon scale pattern all over. I'm using my ridiculously fine handspun. It's in natural white and I'm wondering if, for the sake of the shawl satisfying my desire for things to be autological, I should have made it in a more dragon-y colour.

I really enjoyed this video. I do have a question, what is the title of the book that was on your right, it looked interesting?

I’m following you with a spin-a-long during our hot summer months having ordered some rare breed wool from a local supplier prior to December. I’ve also sourced other fleeces from local heritage sheep breeders-- English Leicester, Cheviot, Lincoln, Finn and Gotland. Each breed is quite different, some spun in the grease and others spun washed. I basically do the “ squish test” then decide how the wool wants to spin-- and I’m always happy with the result. Now…. I need to plan what to do with the skeins. From a hot and dry central Victoria, Australia.

Love your papers and fabrics! Great buys.

Weston and surrounding area is one of my all time favourite places, my late husband and I have had many holidays there,even in winter. Thank you for a trip down memory lane .

Hello, I'm a new subscriber and have had a lovely couple of hours watching your videos. I enjoy your style and am quite envious of your life in a beautiful place . 😊

At the start of the video I mix up the location of Derbyshire and Lancashire I really do know where both places are I just said it the wrong way around and I didn't notice until I had finished editing. Sorry folks.

I love Newgale, thank you for taking us with you. Look forward to seeing you next time.

Hi Becca UA-cam recommended your channel and I’m delighted to meet you. Looking forward to your next video 👍🏻

The Dutch have this thing they say about someone who does a lot of different creative things. They are called a 'creative duizendpoot' - a 'creative millipede'. And what's to stop you from being just that and share it here, if that's what you want? You be you, Becca, because that's the only way to be! ❤

I live in west wales too so thrilled to see newgale and Fishguard! I’d love to know where the 3rd charity shop is exactly please ? I know the first 2 well ! Every blessing for the year ahead love Ruth xx

I love DK cotton, I crochet with it and that Pattons is a high quality brand you got. I like it all.

Can’t wait to see your tea towels! Please show them when they’re finished!

I get what we call flannel sheets for backing…it’s soft and warm!

I love the idea of the Ideas jar, I have so many things I want to do I end up doing none of them. I have a 32 inch rigid heddle loom, which I love, and I get about a 29 inch width of fabric. This year I'm going to try to weave enough fabric to make a Chanel style jacket and skirt, I'm also a dress maker. I joined a weaving group and a guild last year and found it too big to take to meetings so I bought a 16 inch Sampleit rigid heddle loom just to take out. I've woven some tea towels and scarves on it, and despite liking to weave big, I do enjoy using it. It's so much quicker and easier to warp! I use a rotary cutter to cut the fringe on my weaving. I'd like to see a Welsh quilt, up here in the North East the traditional quilts are whole cloth, just beautiful.

What a lovely haul! I get a lot of supplies from the thrift shop.

I have that one but I found it in a charity shop for £2. Compared to doing winding off my knees it is a winner for me. One day I will get a wooden one.😊

Every day’s a school day. I have been using old thread and didn’t know it could become brittle, but then I haven’t had a problem so far…

Hi Becca I hope you and Andrew are both OK and Millie is too xxx ❣️❣️❣️🐕‍🦺 Thankyou so much for sharing this video. Beach combing sounds wonderful, especially when you find such lovely gems.🎉🎉🏞️ Hope you have a Wonderful Week. Happy Creating and Spinning, Special Creative, Spinning Fibre Friend 🎉🛞🥰🎉🐑🥰 Take care and stay safe Lots of love to you both, Big hugs and Cuddles for Millie... Jen xxxx ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️👤👤👤👤👤👤🐕‍🦺👤

Hello Becca you did really well at the thrift and charity shops! Just happened upon your video and have subscribed.

Loved the idea jar. It gave me a better idea of your interests. The room you're in looking over the garden is very cheerful.

Hello, This is my first time viewing your channel and my first visit to Wales. I enjoyed the road trip and beach walk. I love charity shops which we call thrift stores, and besides thrifting nearly every day in Wisconsin, US, I also thrift virtually - in Japan, France, England, the US, and now Wales. I'll have a look at your other videos too. Like you, I like the textile arts so will enjoy seeing what you thrift and what you make. Happy to meet you

Great haul, I love finding my supplies from our Australian op shops 🤩👏🏼

Hi I’m a new girl more sewing please xxxxx

I love the variety of content. I have a 16inch Ashford, your comments regarding the 32inch are interesting as I was considering getting a larger loom, maybe not. I like the idea of a jar of intentions, first into my jar would be dusting off my spinning wheel….🤔

Halloo. Visiting family in llanwnda next weekend and none of them are crafty so it’s fab getting your advice for the location. Are there any sea glass beaches, please? I’m in Burnham on sea but we don’t even have shells.

Great finds! Those papers are gorgeous. 🥰

Brilliant haul… the books !!! The Damask which btw would look lovely as a table cloth on your table 😂!!! The cotton !!!! Enjoy your weave !

What stunning pictures on your walk and what fabulous things you have got from charity shops. Look forward to seeing what you get up to next. Sending Happiness from still snowy west of Ireland and thank you for sharing.

I love your ideas jar! I'm going to try it for my ND brain. I have so many ideas that never come to fruition as they get lost in the chaos. I have a head full of them and never achieve much. Also please could you point me in the direction of some good weaving videos and advice. I've gone to a couple of courses in the last couple of years and now I've moved house I would love to get a loom and learn.

Damask! That's what that patterned fabric is called. If I didn't say so before, I too like the varied content. Have a good week.
