Making Blending Board Roving For A Core Spun Yarn
Вставка
- Опубліковано 18 лют 2021
- In this colorful, textured project, I'm making blending board roving using a diz and then spinning up a fluffy core spun yarn with mohair locks. It sounds like a lot going on in this yarn, but I'll show you step by step how I did this fun spinning project so you can follow along and make your own fluffy hand pulled roving too!

I would crochet a fun winter pull on hat. ❤
Ooo nice springy weaved cloth would be fun to see especially with all the little twisty locks waving hello. It reminds me of the crocus flowers popping up so early though the snow.
I'm soooo ready for the crocuses this year! 💜🧶🌷
I am soooo feeling those colors right now. Always here for a drool-fest of your amazing wool stash!
Yay! 💜🧶🌷😄
I want it!!!!!!Ahhhhhh!!!!!Beautiful!!!!!I want a long dash belt,a headband,a necklace with a little pouch on the end!
It is beautiful.. I'd make a shawl with it.
Great video! Have you thought of doing an ASMR version creating yarn beginning to end?
Thank you SO much Jillian for showing how to do this!!! Both the dizzing from a blending board and how to core spin!💖💖💖
I made my blending board following your instructions. It works great
Awesome!!!
A fine linen yarn would probably work really well for core spinning, even a fairly smooth linen yarn has a bit of texture, and linen is nice and strong.
I personally would use yarn like this for a fun elf/fae hairstyle. It reminds me of stories I heard growing up of faerie locks. Essentially children were told if they didn’t brush their hair and take care of it the faeries would come and tangle it up worse and tie odd bits into their hair lol
I have never heard those stories! They sound scandinavian/nordic for some reason😂
I absolutely loooooove your videos 🥰🥰🥰
I'm so glad! 🧶💜😄
A floppy hat would be so cute !
Yes it would!!! 💜🧶
Wonderful video! It’s making me want to ditch all my chores and play with fiber!!!!
Do it! 😁😉💜🧶
The process and the result are both adorable. Thanks for sharing this experience :)
Love those colors! Dying to try core spinning myself and hope to have multiple colors in my stash soon.. Thanks for demonstrating how it's done!
BEAUTIFUL YARN‼️😍
I knit badly, but I love using highly textured yarn‼️
💜💙💚💛🧡❤
I found your channel a few days ago and I just want to say that I think you are just so wonderful. You’re so sweet and funny and so very helpful. Thanks so much for all the great videos! Love from Spokane, WA! ❤️🧶
When you match your projects, the artist in me rejoices. 💜🌸💜 I would make a hat, because I love making hats.
Thank you! It's because I'm soo moody with my colors. If I'm in the mood for green, *everything* will be green! 🤣
Those colours and textures are just AMAZING. I would use the yarn to make a crochet pixie bag with a pointy bottom and dangly bits each side. That sounds so weird, but I can picture it in my head haha :o)
Inspiring video. Thanks for reminding me of core spinning and how much fun it is.
Yay! Happy spinning! 💜
Thanks for the demonstration. 🥰
I love this yarn! I'm also more inclined to weaving. If you have enough yarn, maybe make a nice skirt?
Oh, a skirt would be adorable!!!
You're my favourite youtuber, so inspirational and fun to watch. You're also a massive geek which I adore. Thanks for all your videos I've learnt so much, my spinning is improving because of you. After watching this I ordered a blending board :)
Great video Evie! What a perfect way to use up bits and left overs to make a beautiful yarn :-) It turned out so pretty and would look great woven up or used as a trim on a hat. Thanks for sharing and congrats on 8,000 subscribers ! :-)
I adore that beautiful yarn! Omg 😲
Just need to tell you, ‘cos it made me 🤣🤣🤣 I was searching my watch history on UA-cam for a seated core workout I’m sure I did. All I got were your core spinning videos! 🤣🐑🐑🐑
Oh dear! 🤣🤣🤣
I love the board and really enjoyed the vid on how you made it. If I may make a suggestion; on the back side of the board add some silicone caulking - it smells bad at first so take outside or somewhere to air out while drying-. I have use this on many household DIY and other fixer-upper items to keep them from sliding around, even used on a refurbished seat cover :) All you do is put small "dots" of the silicone or a thin line and then smooth out, let dry, now it's non slip !! My other fave method is to adhere a piece of shelf liner- the squishy non-adhesive type you use for glasses.
Great ideas!!!! I need to try the silicone! 💜
Sorry to be so offtopic but does someone know a tool to get back into an Instagram account??
I was dumb forgot my password. I would appreciate any assistance you can offer me
@Raphael Zion i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and I'm trying it out now.
Seems to take a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Raphael Zion it did the trick and I now got access to my account again. Im so happy:D
Thank you so much you saved my account!
@Ahmir Samson No problem :)
Flowers for a hook rug or punch needle rug
I want to make art yarn for the elf hood pattern, or my fur lined red riding style hoods or the twisted witch hat! 💜
Hi Evie, this has only just popped up on my feed. Love the blending & the spin is adorable.
I thunk this yarn would be good as a shawl or a scarf.
Take care & stay safe.
Lots of love Jen xxxx
Hi Evie, I hope you're all OK.
Thankyou so much for the Heart reply.
Taje care & stay safe.
Love to you all.
Jen xxxx 💗💗
Awesome, I’ve never seen this done before 🥰🙏🏻
That yarn is pure fun! I think I would make a table runner using size 17 (larger?) needles, or add it to a weaving. I love my blending board and so do my granddaughters.
Great idea!!
Just curious; if you decided you wanted a smoother texture, could you re-spin that finer/ firmer, whathaveyou- or would you have to start from scratch?
You’re making me want to core spin! Unfortunately I’ll have to wait because I have other videos planned and not enough free jumbo bobbins. But I did want to watch your video, and the roving turned out beautiful! Happy spinning!
Thank you! Happy spinning to you too! 😁💜🧶
Dreammmsss
I tried to make a yarn like this yesterday! I’m totally self taught and isolated. I did not use a core. I put locks on the blending board also. Timely piece. I want a wheel! Thanks. I love your videos.❤️💐
There are so many fun ways to experiment with this yarn! 💜🧶🐑
@@JillianEve I think I will use Knit Collage Kaleidoscope pattern and stripe in my yarn.
What a fun yarn!
What is core spinning please? I think I understand after watching your video. Perhaps a teeny explanation at the time would help newbies? Also I loved the idea of a postbox in which you store all the odds left over from other yarns to add into a brand new yarn you make via the blending board! Everything has a use! No waste!
When you made your own blending board (brilliant), you didnt use a Diz the first time in your video. Is a Diz essential therefore? Why use one at all? Do you have to buy one? Thank you. Your videos are filmed really well...no talking about politics or the cold you have!!!! Btw loved the story about New Salem back in time. I was entranced....I see where spinning and story-telling crossed paths Hers(his)torically and led to 'fairy tales'! Its the perfect addition to spinning in a cosy space, doing what you love and chatting. I love listening to my vinyl collection....which provides a set rhythm to help me spin. 💞
Use it in weaving
I’d want to knit a cute hat I think! 😎
Hi, I would love to see angora spinning.
Are you going to do a video of the history of dropspindles⁉️
💜💙💚💛🧡❤
💜 Yes, definitely!
Hi there great video - is it better to have a slow pull in and a normal twist ? Not sure where to start on the tension side !
You gave me a wonderful idea. I have this mohair lace weight yarn Let me explain. I love buying mystery boxes. Been buying for awhile. All my boxes has this super thin mohair I have over 15 hanks of it Yeah
Yes! Core spin it!!! 💜🧶😄
Quick question does the core have to be in s or z twist if I'm spinning s I'm confused as I can see an s twist over twisting and the z twist coming apart help me please x
I'm wondering if you could just spin lock into weft yarn to make that clothe you made for the collar of your cloak.
Question. If you were to core spin cotton in alpaca would that reduce the alpaca's tendency to shrink and come apart that some people have warned me about? Thanks. Love your videos!
Check out my latest video about blending with alpaca!
This is so gorgeous! Green and purple is my favourite colour combo.
Would you ply this after, or is it good to go?
I would definitely also weave this so that I could see all the different colours and textures in all their glory.
You could totally ply this, or not...so many fun ways to experiment! I think I'll leave this yarn as a single, but maybe I'll do a ply next time! 😁💜🧶🐑
Oooo‼️ Thanks😍 I have a blending hoard that a friend's hubby made for me.😍 But, I have no idea of how to actually use it🙄
💜💙💚💛🧡❤
Just start playing with it! Have fun! 😁💜🧶
this is beautiful! i haven't gotten my courage up to try core spinning yet... but i've been wanting to ever since watching you do some during vlogmas.
i was wondering... when you asked what we would use a yarn like that for, my first thought was weaving. then you said you like to weave with them... and the second thought was wondering... is there any chance you would ever do a show & tell, as it were, of past projects so we could see how some of these more fanciful yarns work up in things like weaving and knitting?
and when you weave with yarns like this... what do you like to weave it into? just wall hangings, or such?
That would be fun to show and tell! 💜🧶😄
Oh man, that totally looks like candy! Beautiful! I've wondered about using KnitPick's Palette (sp?) yarn as a core. It's kind of grabby, but as sold, the plies are spun kind of loosely. Maybe running it through a spin once before actually doing the core spun, like you did with the crochet cotton?
I'm wondering if it would do best un-spun or over spun to start with. 🤔💜🧶 Need to experiment!
@JillianEve is there a benefit to diz-ing your fiber instead of just separating strips off your bat?
Hello! Thank you for the informative video! I’m brand new to spinning and so excited to watch your videos! You’re great! I wondered what is the little tool that you thread the fiber through to remove it from the board? Thank you 💕💕
The tool is called a diz. You can find them online or you can use a button, punch a hole in a bottle cap, or make other DIY solutions. It is a very simple tool. 🧶💖😊
Could we do the all the steps up to spinning and use a drop spindle instead? (Without the core)
Most definitely 👍 🧶💕
Hi, I just found your channel and I'm loving it! I spin on an Ashford as well. You've got some great ideas! I've never done core-spinning, do you have a picture of what it looks like knitted up?
I have it in some weaving, but I should do some knitting with some. 🧶😊💜
WHERE CAN I BUY THAT DIZ??????????
Have you ever spun with a quill wheel
I tried one once. A different feel for sure! 😄🧶💜
Where could you buy a diz? Did have a look on the usual spinning sites I’d use. Thanks. Great podcast.
There are lots of them on Etsy. You can also make your own with a button, polymer clay, or by poking a hole in a bottle cap. 🧶😄💜
Questions: did you spin the core directly off of the bobbin? Would you recommend giving mohair extra twist as well before using as a core?
Thanks!!!
The core was on my lazy kate at my feet. I had a clip of all the set up, but I didn't realize my battery died so it didn't record. Oops! You can pre twist if you like to. You can also use the slowest whorl you have so it doesn't over twist too much. I've corespun both ways. 💜🧶😄
@@JillianEve Thank you!!!! 💗💗💗
Why are there hooks on both wings of the flyer?
S twist vs. Z twist. Also for balance. 💜🧶
Me when she dizz's off a blending board 🤯
Beginner here - does core spun yarn not need plying? 🧐
Evie. You are so darn cute.
Thank you! 🥰
