i've been doing this kind of thing by spinning my singles on either my Quebec production wheel or another of my high ratio wheels, then plying the corespun singles on a low ratio wheel. It would be so AWESOME to do all the work on one wheel!!
Hello, First, I would like to say I love your videos. :-) I'm a beginner, and I have a question. With those yarns, how do you set them ? You wash them ?? Cold water or hot water ? Or steam them ? When I put mine in water, it's not a very beautiful result. But, as I say, I'm a beginner. And I have issues with the washing part. My fibers don't like this part (I use vegetal and synthetic fibers). Can you advise me ? Sylvie
Is she plying the yarn that was spinned previously? I am using an Ashford super Jumbo e spinner and I want to know after I spin the yarn should I do this method on the ply s or spin z?
I made a scarf from a thick to thin roving yarn on size 12mm needles 10 years ago (first knit) and it still looks great and feels so soft! I used Colinettes Point 5 (now discontinued). I imagine you could use yarn like this for the same, or a blanket or cowl or whatever...theres ton of patterns of Ravelry that you can search to see what others have made with chunky yarns for ideas.
I just bought a country spinner at the Bendigo Sheep show but it only came with one bobbin. Surely it needs to be supplied with two or even three bobbins?
I read the article telling me how to do this, and thought, 'Hmmm'. Now I have seen the video, I get it! Brilliant!
Looking great Steph …

Hi Steph, super video, I like it very much! Thank you!
This Yarn is so great! I'm looking forward to my CS2 :D
Hi, the music was composed by a local composer especially for us.
Hi, you can use your yarn how ever you please. It certainly would be great as a weft yarn. Or it can just sit around looking fabulous :-)
Does she do the plying without setting any of the singles, and only sets the twist at the very end?

Lovely! ....but what do you do with such thick yarns?

Crazy, but so cool!
Will this actually be used in a weave? Will it be a wall hang or a rug?
Where can I buy this kind of art yarn? I went to the dealer website for the U.S but didnt find any art yarn :(
I can make art yarn if you have anything in mind. Just email me at yarnanddogs@gmail.com
what is the music playing for these videos?
Cool, I'm new to this. lol
