- Learn to ply on the Gaelic Whorl-less spindle used by the Scots since the 1700's or earlier. More on my blog: missingspindle.blogspot.com and Etsy: missingspindle.etsy.com. This spindle type was used both for plying and for spinning singles wool. It has been found in the Highlands & Islands of Scotland as well as the eastern coast of Canada and one sighting in the Appalachians where the Scots/Irish were known to have settled. Bring lost spinning technology forward to the Modern Era!!!
The 2 strand ball for plying is the same as used in Peru. Very practical. They normally spin soft and ply hard as their textiles are traditionally warp face.
Will have to make a small dealgan as mine are a bit more skookum.
You seem like someone I'd love tosit down the have a meal with! You're just fascinating... I'd love to talk with you and hear your stories! 💙
Thank you !!! I just bought one of these small ones and am so glad to see this. It’s a fabulous way to of plying also !!! ❤❤
Thanks to your video I was able to take some thin yarns and ply them with my dealgan I had made for me by my favorite wood worker and fellow weaver , 😍 thank you!
Thank you so much! I am so charmed by this spindle. I've made one of cedar, that I love, but I can't wait for my hardwood dealgan to arrive next week.
Another appearance by the (I think) French Bulldog. How very cute! Made me laugh while learning. Am enchanted by the deal
Awesome. These spindles look really beginner friendly. Or maybe you just make it look really easy 😅
You make it look easy! Can't wait to get my own dealgan.
Thanks for such interesting information, makes me feel such an ordinary spinner.
Missed you!! Love your channel
I hope all is well with Lois after all these years.
great video, glad to see another video.
Just a quick note, The Gaelic College is not in New Brunswick. It is in St Anns, on Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia. Perhaps that is just a typo.
Thank you, Lois! Went to Amazon immediately, but I see the book starts at $99.50---ouch! Love your videos....does this mean you just had a birthday?
I know that it's easy to say, "you should," from this side of UA-cam, so I don't say lightly; but, you should hang something on your walls to stop the sounds in the room from bouncing off the walls. I think, given your content, some quilts on the walls would work quite well, and would provide an attractive back-drop. Another idea is to hang insulation behind the camera, and you could charge some lady's to hang their quilts behind you. After some episodes, the insulation would be paid off. Well, I've said enough. Good day.
You are winding one side tighter and unspinning the other when using ply ball
No you're not!!
Both singles have a Z twist.
Plied yarn has an S twist.
great video, glad to see another video.
