I had so much fun spinning with you. Any time you want to chat and spin, I'm here for it! I think we talked for HOURS and I don't envy you having to sort through all our historical rambling, lol. You are the editing queen!👑 Happy spinning, fiber friend! (and all you fiber friends in the comments too!) 😊💜🧶
It is hilarious to see folks taking advantage of the latest technology in all the most useful ways whilst doing a deep dive on traditional craft. Brava!
It was really enjoyable to Evie’s-drop (see what I did there?! 😂😂😂) on your conversation with Evie. I could listen to her for ages as she knows so much about hand spinning; it was nice that the conversation moved around naturally just as if I’d sat down with her at one of our Guild meetings… And well done Kristine for being brave enough to do your first spinning - on camera! Thanks for doing this and getting together via technology; it was a treat! 💐💐💐 Katherine in Kent, UK
Evie is awesome. fun to see you both get a chance to hang out. i'm jealous. it's always fun when some of your favorite creators get a chance to blend worlds
What a delightful collaboration! So great to see two of my favorites together. And talking about the history of spinning! Does it get better than this?
Hah I took up spinning and pretty much learned all the basics from JillianEve's channel. It was her tablet weaving video that got UA-cam to suggest me your video on tablet weaving (which made me subscribe to you). And now you're both in one video, hah. Small creative world, sometimes :)) Lovely video
Oh, wool cards existed before the metal toothed ones. People would attach a "carder's" teasel head to a backing and use that. They used the same device for fulling too.
I was so delighted when I saw the thumbnail! What a lovely chat ❤ I myself am still a beginner in spinning, and I have plenty of those "oh no, how did this huge chunk of fibre get sucked into my yarn??" moments xD
Sitting here, spinning for Tour de Fleece, and watching two wonderful fiber crafters talking spinning together...\(^-^)/...life doesn't get any better, does it.
I learned my first spinning from evie as well! Her channel is great and i love how fun the historical textile chat has been with you two! So much fun to have her edited right into the room with you too 💕 🧶🪡
Evie reminds me of myself, and you remind me of my best friend, Mollie. Neither thought we could ever be friends when we met, but we became so close. This has nothing to do with your subject; just appreciating good memories. Thanks.
If you like historical fiction books you should read the Circle of Cerridwen by Octavia Randolph set in the early reign of King Alfred and the first book is about a Peaceweaver bride to a Jarl (Viking) she actually makes you think a lot about wool and flax and the troubles of women… I love the whole series.
There's a video I haven't yet watched about making a hackle (for flax processing) with thorns, so my guess is that they would have used thorns. I don't think fish bones would be strong enough but I have heard of fish jaws and teeth being used for processing cotton in India. In some parts of the world during world war 2 cactus spikes were used as needles to play records. Each needle only lasted about one record but it did enable you to listen to something when you didn't have access to metal record needles. So spikes and thorns are both sharp and durable.
Kristine, I'm a little surprised to see you spinning right handed, or has the camera reversed you? It's lovely seeing a couple of my favourite crafting creators together.
@@AndyBun: I spin right handed on a wheel (I'm normally left handed), possibly because that's how I was first shown how to do it back in the days when vintage wheels were just wheels. I've tried left handed but I find the right hand struggles at being the fibre hand, although the left is happy drafting. If and when I try spindle spinning, I'm planning on trying to learn left handed.
I u followed because you post so many long online videos that I just don't like and I don't want to remove them all the time but I love all your normal stuff (also no fan of the short form). Maybe you could make a second account? Or otherwise explain why you don't, thank you

It was so much fun! The time flew by way too quickly! ❤️
@@JillianEve Do you have the distaff upside down? Flax is spun from the cone tip.
I tell people that the drop spindle is the original and most productive fidget spinner 😂
I was BEYOND thrilled to see that you and Jillian Eve teamed up for this -- two of my favorite creators!!
It is hilarious to see folks taking advantage of the latest technology in all the most useful ways whilst doing a deep dive on traditional craft. Brava!
The green screen is awesome!
What a great job of editing👍👑
So much knowledge departed.
She truly is a legend of spinning history! ❤️
The green screen idea is very cute and fun to watch!

Yes! Evie is such a sweet human being! 🥰
Best. Crossover. Ever!!!

It can be a very small world, indeed! How fun! 🥰
Oh, wool cards existed before the metal toothed ones. People would attach a
"carder's" teasel head to a backing and use that. They used the same device for fulling too.
Evie is talking specifically about metal-toothed carders as we use today. A carder’s teasel sounds great fun though! May have to look more into that.
I was so delighted when I saw the thumbnail! What a lovely chat ❤
I myself am still a beginner in spinning, and I have plenty of those "oh no, how did this huge chunk of fibre get sucked into my yarn??" moments xD
This is how important distaffs were: in the UK the female side of a family is - even now, although less so - is called 'the distaff side'!
That’s cool!
This makes my heart so happy to see the two of you talking spinning!!
It was such a fun chat! Time flew by way too quickly!
Ah, lovely on a Saturday morning! Two of my favorite fiber friends together. ❤
That was super fun! I almost thought Evie caught a plane to visit you 😂. I hope you do more interviews like this
This is delightful. It felt like being right there in the room with you with my own spindle and yarn. Thank you both.
We hoped it would feel like that! 🥰
The green screen is clever! Fun video as always 😁
I love it when two of my favorite UA-cam talk to each other! Love you both. Great video!
Evie! This was so much fun. Kristine, good luck on your spinning journey! Happy creating 💚🧶💚
It was such a fun chat!
So enjoyable! Thank you both, from a total spinning addict x
I love this!! I follow both of your pages. Thank for this video friends 🧡 ❤💜
OMG! I friggin' love Evie!!!! I'm so happy to hear you have decided to pick up spinning, Kristine! Lovely video, thank you!
It was so much fun!
Sitting here, spinning for Tour de Fleece, and watching two wonderful fiber crafters talking spinning together...\(^-^)/...life doesn't get any better, does it.
A very happy accident that this came out at the beginning of Tour de Fleece. Happy spinning! ❤️
Good Morning to you, too!
This was so lovely!

Close friendships are so precious. Fun origin stories are the best. 🥰

I was spinning while I watched!
I'm trying to think how to make carding brushes before fine steel wire. Maybe fish bones? Combs could be made with animal claws.
I think Sally Pointer has some videos about that. ❤️
There's a video I haven't yet watched about making a hackle (for flax processing) with thorns, so my guess is that they would have used thorns. I don't think fish bones would be strong enough but I have heard of fish jaws and teeth being used for processing cotton in India.

I wear a leather apron when I comb. Just in case I get distracted.
A safety-minded attitude I can get behind!
@JillianEve what is the length of the distaff you are using in this video?
Kristine, I'm a little surprised to see you spinning right handed, or has the camera reversed you?
It's lovely seeing a couple of my favourite crafting creators together.
I spin with my non-dominant hand and I have no idea why, other than it just feels more natural to me.

I hope you realize you're not making any sense.
