Spinning Wool Into Yarn - Carding a Mixed Batt, Turning it Into Roving, and Spinning it!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 жов 2024
- I love spinning these batts, and I've been trying to make sure I work on spinning bulkier yarns now and then. It's just so easy over time for your yarns to get thinner and thinner. This yarn turned out great!

My son (6'5") got my (4' 10 1/2") dyes, steamer, "good fibers" down from the top shelf in my sewing/craft room! Yeah!!!! My plan is to spend Christmas Day just playing with fiber, dyeing some and maybe using the drum carder but definitely spinning. Our house has been waaaaay too effected by COVID and getting ready for a virtual Christmas this year so I haven't been at the fibers much. Since you asked: I am in Minnesota and the COVID is real! So my 17 yo grandson has ended up living with me since April due to the yuck. And his dog, a golden doodle (2 1/2 yo) who is now in heat thank you very much COVID for not allowing her to get spade. Whatever. At the moment our house and extended families are in various stages of illness/quarantine/holed up. But thankfully we are all alive. This Christmas will be like Thanksgiving - virtual. Stay safe people and smile behind those masks, twinkling eyes can be seen and are appreciated. ♥
It got very scary here for awhile too. Or local hospital was literally unable to get patients feed for entire days because they were packed. It's a different kind of Christmas but we are very thankful for what we have this year.
Hi everyone, yeah it's been a real crazy year. Lockdown situation which we all find Ourselves In. Yeah I know this COVID19 is bad , I can sympathise with pepple who have had it. 4 members of my family have had it, a lady that my son worked with had it & unfortunately she passed away. One of my grandsons was hospitalized with it. Fortunately his brother had it but not as bad.
Has we come to the end of this year
I hope that 2021 is Filled with Love,Joy,Peace &Hope
MERRY Christmas to everyone
Blessings to all.
Love Jen xxxx

@@FiberLoveDiary That is insane! It hasnt gotten that bad here Colorado has done pretty good, my boss is super sick though and has been out of work for a month and a half. He is on Oxygen 24/7 he took the Oxygen off just long enough to change and his O2 level dropped to 82. In Colorado anything below 90 is bad news. He has fluid in his chest cavity, double lung infection and two blood clots in his right lung. He is having a rough go at it but he is alive and I have been stalking his Facebook and GoFundMe for updates on him.
I am just mesmerized, i could watch this over and over. You should sell some of those huge and beautiful batts on your etsy shop.
I really want to but building it up on a high quality way has been very challenging. I really want to get some batts in the shop! ❤️
So that's what the diz is for!!! You really are an artist, the depth of the colors you choose are so beautiful! It's no wonder they call it painting when you card it on your drum carder.
Currently crocheting a cabled sweater for myself and gonna start weaving some dish cloths because I can't do just one thing at a time apparently 😂😂
Same. It's a problem.
You have to work on more than one project, or you'll get bored!
IF I hit a snag i can go to the other project.
That turned our awesome Trish!!
Thank you ❤️
That was such a fun video! First time viewer- enjoyed watching the transformation!
Welcome!! And thank you. These batts are too much fun
Love your video, it’s so helpful to hold the camera as you do, so you can really see your process. Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
WHOA 😳 I could watch this all day! Amazing!
These might be my favorite videos! 😊
I'm so glad!
So much fiber and a big drum carder, the dream!!!
I sat there mesmerized….. so cool. Can you dizz off the drum directly? Oh my God that’s gorgeous coming out the dizz….. like a storm rolling from sea.
wizard magic! I love your creativity. This is just stunning.
Making fabric stars and now making fabric pinecone. Ornaments for Christmas gift. After that I can finish knitting my sleeve of my fireside pullover
You are busy!
I love the batt to yarn videos. So relaxing to watch.
i love your big carder. I have a small Fricke drum is only 7inches.
Ahh, i love cult docs too! haha. Loving all of the blue!
Whyyyy am I so fascinated? It's weird. I think it has something to do with being a little kid when Jonestown hit the news. I remember grilling my mom about it and still not understanding.
@@FiberLoveDiary haha! I love them. I love the 'escaping cults' type of books too, though those tend to be FLDS . I just embrace my weird by now.
I love giant batts. I still need to invest in a drum carder. My state is great, finally seeing rain and making all the socks right now because it is so hot 🥵
We're getting rained on too! I hope you enjoy your socks, and I love big batts too
I am so jealous of that carder.
Gorgeous!!!!
Thank you!!
So gorgeous!
Thanks for mentioning me in your videos again! I am making a video for Christmas and I am mentioning you! Happy holidays!
Happy holidays and you are always welcome!
That turned out great!!
Your videos are awsome!!! I am so happy I found you!!!
Welcome!!
I find that frankenbatts are usually my favorite. They always surprise me.🥰 thanks for sharing!
That's The fun! Plus I get to play mad scientist 🤣
Thank you! I've been spinning for years, and my husband just got me a drum carder for my birthday, so I've been going through quite the learning curve trying to get my fiber ready to spin!
Thanks for making and spinning the Frankenbatt. It's good that you had your quality control expert supervising! He's so cute.
Surprisingly he loves to sit in my lap while I'm spinning. I think maybe he likes to rock
Wow! This video is the best I've ever seen on carding a large batt, using a diz to make roving, in an easier way than I do it, spinning the roving then turning it into yarn. Thank you for taking the time to do this video
I'm so glad it was helpful to you. Thank you! 💜
That is so so beautiful! Wow, I need a dizz now!!
What's happening here? Well... my County got put into 'tier 4' lockdown which means I'm not allowed to see my family at all. Today is the 2 year anniversary of my mum passing and her birthday is the 24th so it's all a bit shit really 🤣
But, I still have my lovely husband, and my dogs Dexter and Annie, and I have treated myself to a super flyer for my kiwi, because why the heck not...!
Thankyou for all the inspiring videos this year, I only started spinning in August but lovely youtubers like yourself have made the process so much easier to learn.
Wishing you and yours a peaceful and lovely Christmas. Kat x
Ugh, I'm so sorry this is all going on while you're dealing with that anniversary. Peaceful and lovely Christmas to you too!
I’ve never seen a diz before thanks for showing that!
It will be shown better in the next video and explained a little bit better too.
I was mesmerized watching as you created your batt... I started out with a “Baby Brother” drum carder and soon realized that I needed a larger one. I’m jealous of your electric drum carder... what a great addition to any fiber studio.
I've gone up the chain with carders. I've been carding and spinning for a long time!
Morwenna will be so pleased that you mentioned the hand turkey. Thank you 😊💕
Now I remember!!
When you first showed the sequin yarn that you were going to ply with I said "Oh No!" but it was actually the PERFECT combination - thanks for giving me the idea!
When something works out, sometimes I'm as surprised as you. I can't get new outcomes if I don't try new things, though!
Never seen a dizz before 🤷♀️ love the outcome of your spinning. Could watch and listen to you for hours. Such a calm and relaxing voice with such upbeat tone and laughter.
Glad you enjoyed!
What an unbelievable amount of Fiber you get on that drum carder !!!!!! Such a beautiful colour.... blue is my favourite
Honestly I could have squeezed more on.
Very excellent video. I'm excited to make a batt and roving like you did. Thank you for the inspiration!
Go for it!
Just beautiful colors..
I think so too!
This video gives me hope for all the little bits and bobs I've got in my stash. I have a friend with a drum carder, I might see about making a bat. Yours is beautiful.
Oh, it sounds like there's a Frankenbatt in your future!
Love it! I can’t wait to get my current project off my wheel and do a frankenbatt with some of the materials I’ve gathered.
That sounds like something I'd say! 🤣
Love watching this. Gives me so many ideas
Awesome! Thank you!
Oh bee geeze....I love this one!! Looks like more than 7oz. Probably because so fluffy? And I'm working on weaving kitchen towel gifts for next door neighbors.
That's one of the reasons I really like carded fibers. The really fluff up.
Loved the huge batt!! Adding the sparky thread in the ply looked amazing.
I'm really happy with it. I wasn't totally sure about plying it in the same direction but it's pretty.
Things are pretty good in my neck of the woods. Really missing my family in NY this time of year.
I'm struggling with missing family some this year too. Hugs!
I loved watching u build the batt. It was a wonderful collection of blues, reminded me of the night sky. The yarn came out beautiful!!!
Thanks! I am pretty much crazy about this one too.
That little bit of silver running through it is so extra and so perfect! It made the whole thing
I am known for being extra a lot of the time 😂😂. I really have to hold myself back so I don't go too far.
Love the Diz idea!!!
So glad!
I could watch batts being made all day!
What magic is this?!? Mind blown.
Like I said in Your IG feed. This video is flipping awesome! I learned a TON of new stuff.
Awesome! Thank you!
Those colours together look like a watercolour painting
Thank you!
Just lovely!💕💕
Thank you! 😊
That is so beautiful
Oh I love watching you layer all those different fibres on the drum carder. It comes out with such beautiful depth!
Magic! I have found if I blend the right amount, I almost can't mess it up.
Gorgeous color mix and so relaxing to watch wow
Thank you. That's so nice
My fiber projects have been spinning a green stripe chain ply yarn for my son, knitting a sweater for me, knitting socks for my oldest daughter, and finishing up a needle felting portrait for my brother and his significant other.
Yay, go you! You're really doing a lot right now.
Your videos like this make me want to do all the fiber prep and spinning. Love it!
Go for it!
I could watch you make batts all day long! 😍 Amazing how the fibre fits through the small hole if the diz! Beautiful finished skein too.
🤯 Never thought to draft a batt like that! wow. Great video, I love seeing the whole process. Thanks Trish!
That's a fantastic way to join a ply! I've just tied knots but never again :-) Thanks. The yarn is so pretty with the sequins.
There's lots of ways. Whatever works for you is great!
So cool. Loved this!!
Thanks so much!!
You make it look so easy but I know this is years of practice, trial and error. This is just what I needed to make things better. And thanks for take the mystery out of 🦇😁
It's almost something you can't mess up. I think the only way to really show someone how easy it is would be to have them make one!
Love the dizz. Gonna have to try it! And so so happy you are using a Woolee winder. Ooo sparkles!
Ooooo I love the Woolee winder. Someday I have one for each wheel!
I just just finished the nightshift shawl. I don't knit much, I usually crochet. Now I'm learning to spin, just got my first wheel. I have a blending board and love it. Watching you make batts with a drum carder makes me want one of those also. The batt is so beautiful
Wow, you're busy too!
What a gorgeous homespun!
I finished two of my projects this week. I finally finished my daughter’s hat “woodland wander hat” on Ravelry. And I finished a pair of socks I had been working on. I just caked up a bunch of yarn to knit gnomes next.
Ooooo I've been trying to get to gnomes forever.
@@FiberLoveDiary I’m making this one today

@@QuzieSuzieQ Those are lovely
@@QuzieSuzieQ I've had them in my queue for awhile. Love them!
I love this video. There's so much to learn from it. Thank you.
Just rewatched this awesome video and this technique worked so perfectly on a Romney batt i made on my drum carder using flicked locks. So fabulous!
I also have a huge smile on my face from seeing Luther. Aside from color he is the spitting image of my sweet Charlie whom i miss every day. I want to borrow him for a weekend LOL!
Such a beautiful combination of colors and textures. I would want to make batts every day if I had your stash.
Oh I wish I had time. Usually I pull out the carding table and just do a few in a row.
First of all, thanks for the joining lesson. And second, Heaven's Gate massacre happened a few miles from my home on my daughter's 5th birthday. Love learning from you.
Oh my gosh! That's crazy. Honestly I don't know why all cults fascinate me like they do, but it's something I just can't wrap my brain around, so I keep trying to understand, I guess!
Thanks for showing us
Soooo pretty!!! I love watching the colors blend...I'm calling that the Cookie Monster batt 😁
Love that!
Didn't think to do a batt like that. Thanks for sharing!
I love your carding and spinning episodes! Thank you for sharing your skills
Thank you so much!
Love what you do! I must go make a batt, too! (Gerry)
Have fun!
This spin is so gorgeous! 😍 Also that face you made going through your stash was so funny! We all have that fiber that is like 🧐🥴 Thanks for a great video!!! 💜
Thank you! I never realized how much I don't control my face until I started reading record 🤣
@@FiberLoveDiary I feel that!!! 🤣
you prolly dont care at all but does anybody know of a trick to get back into an instagram account..?
I was dumb forgot the password. I would appreciate any tricks you can offer me
@Charles Raylan instablaster :)
@Jaxton Jerry i really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm in the hacking process atm.
Takes a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
I love to see Luther! I have pulled roving right off the drum carder with a diz but ive never seen it pulled from a batt that way! Nice! You're always showing me new stuff, love it! Plus the yarn turned out great.
I think it really fluffed the fiber out for me. I"ll definitely be using this technique again.
What a beautiful yarn thank you so much for sharing trish x
What a process, keep doing the good work !
Just finished my first rigid heddle loom project ever. So excited and I can’t wait too warp again!
Congrats on your maiden weaving voyage!
That is really pretty yarn, I loved watching you create it.
Thank you! Cheers!
Beautiful batt! I died wool in a rainbow of colors then put it through the drum carder and ended up spinning it into ugly Christmas sweater yarn 😂 I just finished crocheting a baby blanket for my niece. Started crocheting another one for my brother so he can have a similar one at his house to cuddle with his first grandbaby, made a fleece tied blanket for my step son who just told us we’re going to be grandparents and have another fleece Red Wings blanket waiting to be tied for a Christmas gift. Hoping to get back to spinning soon so I can make a wool blanket on the floor loom
Congratulations on the grandbaby! You sure are busy!
I really enjoyed watching that process. 😍
I love batt making videos. :)
Glad you like them!
I love how it turned out. I always learn so much from you. You’re amazing. ☺️
❤️❤️
Just beautiful! I have some purchased batts that I am going to try this with. Thanks for the idea.
This video was so helpful and SO RELAXING, I could watch it and listen to it on repeat! Thank you for sharing this beautiful batt and spin.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I just love that when you are spinning, you let the yarn be what it wants to be. It is so freeing as an amateur spinner.
I used to fight it when I first started. I would get it in my head that I was going for something particular and be disappointed if I couldn't achieve it. Not a very fun hobby that way 🤣
The final yarn is sooooo beautiful!
Love your videos!
Wow. Love this natt
This made me so happy to watch 🤗 It came out so awesome ! I hope you and the family are safe and well and have a lovely holiday ⛄️🎄
We were just sitting here counting out blessings that everyone is healthy right now ❤️. Same to you!
Very cool! 💕
Wow, this was great! Thanks for showing me the whole process. It turned out to be gorgeous!
Lovely!
How much fun was this!? This is why I love working with fiber! Love the end result! I have my first blending board coming in the mail and this is making my fingers itch to start playing and learning something new!
I hope it doesn't get delayed in the mail, but have a great time with it!
Hi Trish, Thanks for another great spinning video! They are my favorite. Happy Holidays
Happy holidays!
Gorgeous! Never seen this done before, very interesting!!
Thanks, Lisa!
I love how this whole thing turned out! From the Frankenbatt, to the spun, the core spun with sequins is gorgeous 😍 and I also really love it as a 2-ply! 💙 Just happened upon you from a random search for carding fibers.
Hello from Oregon! I’m new to your channel and WOW this was such a gorgeous combination of colors you created! What a interesting process to watch! This was like chicken soup for my soul. My best friend and fellow nurse raised sheep with her family for meat and as a hobby many years ago and she would process the wool and make yarn on her spinning wheel and she taught me how to do it. Such fun.
Welcome, and thank you. We all need those kind of friends.
I like the yarn color. Never heard it called Frankenstein before. Lol I’m a newbie.
I only call them that because they are cobbled together from parts like Frankenstein.
That is so BEAUTIFUL
