You have such a good command of the English language, and a clear ability for teaching. This was a very helpful video. TY x
Thank you. It was kind of you.
Thank you for these clear and helpful reminders! I am going to rewatch this often and save myself so much trouble whilst spinning fine 🧶!
Thank you 😊
The key is the very loose top you're using, which you can't count on. I card it into a rolag, and try to keep as much air as possible in it, so I know I haven't got any clumps to thicken the thread. Then, Ican see roughly how many fibres are going into my thread, 10-14 is ideal. Not over-spinning then becomes crucial!
That is very good way to do it. Thank you for sharing 🤗
Thankyou very much. So clear and informative
Thank you ☺️
This was immensely helpful, thank you so much 🧶❤️
I’m so happy it is. Thank you. 🤗
This was very helpful. Could you please turn down background music so we can hear you better next time.
Oh I’m sorry about that. I will keep it in my mind. Thank you for watching 🥰
Love this video!! Thank you for sharing. A huge help for me as a beginner spinner.
Thank you. I’m very glad it was useful. Good luck.
I enjoyed the video, you started at the beginning, and worked neatly through the process of spinning a good fine yarn, and better than that showed how you spun the fibre both from top, and a batt, and the batt was a normal one with inclusions not a super fine one done just for the video. Good job..
Thank you very much. I’m so glad it was useful. 🥰
thank you that has helped me . sue
I’m very glad to hear that. 🤗
I love you video and teaching style!!! Thank you. I look forward to any of your future episodes.
Thank you so much. I’m very glad that you enjoy it. 🤩🤗
Thank you
Oh you’re very welcome. I’m glad it was useful. 😊
When spinning fine yarn, the comment often is “it takes such a long time!”
It entirely depends on how you think of it. If you think in terms of how many grams/ounces you spin up, it takes endlessly. If however you think in terms of yards/metres, it’s quite a different matter. It might take a little longer, but remember this: when using that fine yarn for a knitting project, for crochet or for embroidery, you’ll always check how many yards/metres you need. It’ll be more important than how many grams you need.
Yes, you may need more time to prep your fibre. Yes, you might need to spin more slowly, especially in the beginning, to prevent breakage. But overall, if you think in terms of yardage/metres of yarn obtained, the difference isn’t all that big as you’d think, especially once you’ve got some experience.
If your fibre has gotten compacted, try steaming it. Especially if you’re working with wool (as opposed to silk, or camelid fibre) this can go a long way towards fluffing it up again.
I found it helps a lot to spin over a contrasting surface as well. It helps you to see better what you’re doing, which positively influences your spinning speed.
Prep very carefully, spin over a contrasting surface, reduce your tension as much as possible, allow for plenty of twist, RELAX and don’t think in terms of weight.
👍
I can’t hear you for the music in the background
I’m very sorry about it. Thank you for watching 🙂
What kind of wool do you use that is fine and medium length staple? Merino? Isn’t that short length fiber?
The thing is I can spin a fine yarn from any type of wool. As long as you learn the method a type of wool doesn’t matter.
Love the music, it starts out too loud but then it gets quieter. What is it? I’d like to get it. Good video, saved.
Thank you for your kind words. The music is by Gabriel Witcher “Blue Mountains”.
