Join us at Little Mountain Ranch for a day packed with delightful activities! First, we'll take you inside our lush greenhouse, where we're tending to our seedlings-get ready for some practical gardening tips! Next, I'm thrilled to have my friend Sherri join us to share the timeless craft of spinning wool. We'll learn the basics and see how raw fleece transforms into beautiful yarn. Finally, we'll wrap up our day with a kombucha update. I'll show you how to do a second fermentation to flavor and carbonate this healthy drink, and yes, we'll taste-test the results! Whether you're a seasoned homesteader or just curious, there's something here for everyone.
Thanks for watching!

It was such a joy to be with you and your daughter and to share my passion for wool and spinning. Can’t wait till you get your spinning wheel! See you then.
Thank you so much, my dear friend!❤️❤️
I know this video is a month old, but I'm catching up since I haven't watched in a bit, and I'm SO excited that you're getting into fiber arts. It's a passion of mine, and it makes me smile that you get to discover the joy if it as well.
I would say this was the best video I have seen in a very very long time. What a learning experience for all of us. I did not know as well on how expensive the wheels are. That wheel is so beautiful. Amazing on how it works. Just think of all the lovely things you can now make and sell once you get going. It also makes people realize that when you purchase a homemade sweater or toque that the price is high but for good reason. Incredible amount of hours you would spend from the time you wash your wool all the way up to the finished product. I have always loved homemade quilts. You go to farmer's markets and see the ladies selling them for hundreds of dollars and think no no I will not pay that BUT when you make one yourself you then give your head a shake. Wonderful your daughter is interested and she caught on really well. Your plants are doing very well. Never a dull moment on your farm, how fabulous and the children are so blessed to experience all of it.
Thank you so much! 😊
Beautiful video Chelsea… what an experience to learn to do this with your daughter… I have a feeling she’s going to be just like you 😇… with her baking bread and different things you have mentioned!
MEMORIES ….keep making them that’s what we all will take with us forever☀️💚☀️
My new sister brought me a spinning wheel. It is on loan. She gave me a few lessons now I'm going to learn to spin. Hope it goes well for both of us.
Bless your heart! I would never have the patience to spin wool. Especially with so many children, a homestead, a garden and the enormous duties around the house and outdoors. Oh my goodness, you are a go-getter!
Another informative video.
Your daughter was really picking up spinning quick.
She's such a natural when it comes to any sort of handcrafts.
Your greenhouse looks wonderful! Seeing all your plants makes my heart happy. 🌱💚🌱 It's so awesome that you and your daughter are learning to spin wool together. Great memories! ❤
Now I need to find a wool spinning ASMR channel. That was wild and fascinating to watch.
The problem with learning fiber is that it's SO addictive! I do not spin, but I knit, crochet, and dye. I love to wear socks I have colored and knitted for myself. It's so fun to do and very zen for me. TFS, and good luck!
To ease your heart...it took me a LONG time to REALLY learn how to spin. It comes, eventually. Keep practicing and one day it will just click...and voila, you are a SPINNER!
Ive always been fascinated by spinning and all i can say is WOW! Great job and so exciting.
I’m enjoying your videos seeing your garden starting and how beautiful they are growing. Watching your friend showing how to spin the wool.
I had never seen the spinning process. This was fun to watch. I have so many sweaters and blankets that my mom knitted and crocheted for my children that have now been passed down to my grandchildren. Inspiring me to pick up my needles again.
Your hair is so beautiful! I have curly hair, too. It was almost as long as yours and I chopped it off short last year-I'm just waiting for it to grow long again! Thanks for sharing your sweet life with us!
Spinning yarn was fun to watch, all the steps were so relaxing! Would love to see more!❤
What a wonderful teacher your friend is! She definitely knows her stuff and her demonstration is spot on. Watch out though, you may end up getting more than one wheel so you and your daughter won't have to fight over it. I currently have downsized to ten, lol. Most of the major manufacturer's wheels are good for all spinning levels, it's more a matter of finding the wheel you click with. There is quite a large used wheel market, and they don't lose their value as long as they are maintained well. Make sure you hang on to your first spinning, it's beautiful and a good memory of where you started out on your journey! Welcome to the sisterhood of fiber arts and enjoy your trip down the magical rabbit hole of creations.
I enjoy spinning so much. It took me time and practice to learn. I didn’t get started until I was in my 50s. I joined a spinning guild and that is where I learned.
Now that was fun. I learned things and appreciated what you shared so much. Happy spinning!
I have the room to plant my tomato seedlings in large pots, but I prefer to start smaller, develop those roots, then pot up and bury the stem to create more and healthier roots😊
Today I watched your video over dinner, which was chili I made using your Nana’s recipe. It’s the second time I’ve made it. I make large batches then freeze in one and two cup portions. It does really well as a freezer meal. It thaws and heats up quickly. It’s just so good!
That makes me so happy to hear! I’ll be sure to tell my mom (Nana).
Plants look really good. Thank you to your friend - that was very interesting. Congratulations on the article! Good video Ma'am!
Thanks so much!
What an amazing video. I loved learning about spinning. I’ve always wanted to see how it works. Thanks for sharing!!❤
You are so welcome!
The spinning was very interesting, I never knew there was so much to learn! I’m sure you will be great with some practice, I can’t wait to see the socks you will knit!
I have been spinning for about 30 years and it is so very relaxing for me. Practice makes perfect. Have fun.
Oh my I would so take up spinning if I had the money. I can see how fun it would be to make your own garments beginner to end.
Thank you for the video. Very interesting. What fun!
Awesome video.❤❤❤
I am a (poor) spinner! But I can also give knit and crochet tips when you're ready for them. My mom taught me to knit and crochet, and gave me a primer on spinning. I'm a pretty good knitter, a capable crocheter,and a fumbling spinner. But it's ALL neat and fulfilling, even if you aren't great at it.
Worsted and woolen, that was interesting info! So fun to learn ,❤Laura D
Fascinating!!❤❤❤
Great video & I learn every time! Thanks for sharing! Your daughter is going to do great & so are you! Blessings to all 🤗🇨🇦
As a knitter, that was really awesome and interesting. Thanks for showing us 👍
Great video Chelsea, very informative re spinning wool 💐
The spinning is very cool, it must be very rewarding to actually end up with a skein of yarn and knit somethung.
That's an art!
What a busy time of year. Spinning wool is so cool. Can't wait to see what you make with the yarn. So exciting to watch your channel.
Congrats on your insider article. That’s great. I hadn’t ever seen combing before either, only carding. I really liked her wheel, there is something very relaxing and calming about spinning wool, you are going to love it. 🌷🇨🇦
I was taught how to use a drop spindle years(so many years) ago. I have always wanted to get a spinning wheel. This was wonderful to watch. Thank you and Sherri for sharing.
Enjoyed the video 😊
i'm so glad you're learning how to spin now! it's a blast ^^
Hi Chelsea.I love the sean of the meadow in the start of your videos.must be a joy to wake up every morning look out and see all the beautiful of your property also i am loving the green you used to paint everything outside.would love to onow the color i have alot outside i would love to paint that color.God Bless ❤
Chelsea, thanks for explaining about the fertilizer!😍🇨🇦
I saw 3 spinning wheels in an antique mall recently. All different levels of being complete, but all beautiful!❤
Someday maybe!
Great video thank you!
Hi Chelsea! I'm early, this feels weird. 🤭 Can't wait to learn about spinning.
That is exciting. I see Louet is having a sale, so it's great timing.
I don’t make videos and I don’t know anything about the various equipment needed to do so (I just watch a lot of youtube 😂). I wanted to tell you that I really like whatever setup you’re using for the camera work and the audio. The picture is always clear and the audio through my headphones is *chef’s kiss*. Often I have to have the volume super high-but on your videos I can turn the volume down because it’s just so clear and I can hear you perfectly. Thank you for having a great setup!
Also, I’m looking forward to watching this wool adventure, I think it will be quite fun and interesting.
In some ways it feels like this winter was long but mild and summer can’t come soon enough-and yet I’m also flabbergasted that it’s already April and springtime. Make it make sense 😂
Thanks for another great video ❤
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that.♥️
Oh man! Spinning is beautiful but it looks so hard. Like playing the drums. So many moving parts.
Any plans for what you're going to knit first?
Cool !
❤❤❤
Teach the hands with a drop spindle, then teach the feet to control the wheel(start, stop, speed, direction). Then add the fibre to the wheel. At first it is like a runaway horse so the yarn is thick and thin. Down the road when you can spin consistently you will look at that thick and thin yarn and think how pretty. Mind you, it is harder to go back to being able to spin it. You will have such fun turning your own wool into all sorts of things. Louets are good wheels, sturdy and versatile. My main wheel is a Lendrum single treadle that I have had for over 40 years. Made by Gord Lendrum in Ontario. My others are quite varied, more for their history, but all are interesting.
One funny thing is that spinners tend to treadle with bare feet/socks.
I just love the idea of spinning your own wool and such pretty yarn- so Cool🥰❣️Spinning Wheels have always fascinated me🥰Great to see you are finally able to do this‼️Do you ever grow Dahlias or is it not sunny enough or too short growing season? I grow Dinner Plate Dahlias here in Santa Barbara, California-any tips on growing them? Wishing you a wonderfully productive Garden this year- Sounds so Glorious❣️‼️🥰Please Thank SherriI learned soooo much❣️🥰❣️‼️- and she is such a great Teacher!!-so Patient🙏🏼💙
Great video. Really interesting.
I love my Louet wheel. It's the same as hers.
oh wow sista you are a natural wool woman
Such an interesting video! 😊
Need to check again, how you do these paper pots!
Greetings from germany! 🫶🏻
I think it was shown in the vlog before this one.
Fiber arts is my thing!!! I have my own sheep, alpacas, Angora goats and Angora bunnies. I shear them and spin their wool/hair into yarn. I suggest learning on a drop spindle before a spinning wheel. Drop spindles are easier to control, very inexpensive, and quite mobile. Feel free to ask questions if you have any.
Thank you! Sheri did show me the drop spindle and I plan to get one soon!😊
So nice of your friend to show her craft. Thank you! It was relaxing watching her. Can’t wait to see the next lesson. Has she dyed any of her wool? Just was wondering.
However, the seedlings……😰I’m exhausted. I spent the whole day planting out seedlings. It’s an exciting time of year, but exhausting.
It sure is! I did another hundred today and I still have another 150 or so to do. I’ll be happy when I’m done that’s for sure! Lol
@@LittleMountainRanch 🙌🏻yesss! I still need to start some flowers. I like to do the starts instead of direct sowing. That way, I can visually space them better.
I hope you have just as good, or better, season as the last one. You had an incredible year last season!
I would love to see how you make your little paper pots!

😊
That wool is SO COOL! I would love that! But I can't knit/ crochet! I have tried to knit/crochet....but EVERYTHING comes out doilies!
16:00 Made in Holland eh? Well, that's right here! 🙂 Also 500 CA$ for a louet S10 is cheap now, as they're about 650-700 EUR here in The Netherlands (aka Holland).
Is there a video showing how you make the paper containers?
I think she showed in her last video.
Hi Chelsea! I was wondering if you can make kombucha with decaffeinated black tea or if the caffeine is important in the making of it. Thanks ❤
If decaf is used, it is called Jun and there are differences in the process.
HI Are you going to knit sweaters for your children?😊
How is the baby lambs doing.
Do you use an oscillating fan to strengthen them?
I do.
Catch 22. Paper is great. But once you pot your plant babies up into that and start watering they are leaching every bit of color block, print. Anything that isn’t ok long before you put them in your garden. So. By the time you put them in the ground why not plant paper and all for the decomposition that will make your soil even richer and better. Because they’ve already leached out every hazard that could have been there. Make sense?
