This was the first time I’ve ever seen someone spin wool with their hands. Lovely. I didn’t know it was like this.
imagine a video like this goes viral on tiktok. my nephew just be doing sigma faces or whatever they do in tiktok
there are a few techniques , ive never seen this style of spindle i will have to make one of these
There’s a lot of different techniques for preparing and spinning wool into yarn or thread. I do the first part with a comb or dog brush, the second part is called pre-drafting, and I use a different sort of spindle for the last part. It’s interesting to see different ways of doing the same task. It’s very relaxing to do and to watch it being done. It’s interesting that it looks like that type of spindle can be used to make a centre pull ball of singles yarn that you can just slip off the spindle and be ready to use.
Please share his channel he needs more subcribers...this materialistic world need this man.
Long comment warning:
After watching you, I always have this fantasy that, if I was healthy, I'd have a set up like yours. I'd have a little harp like David to sing to my sheep, and I'd make their wool into yarn, and gather other fibers from foraged plants for different types of yarn. I'd sit there with my little heddle loom and make wonderful craft fabric that I could dye with foraged natural dyes. I'd make all my clothes and maybe even sell or trade some! I'd of course learn all the other techniques like felting and knitting and crocheting just for kicks. Whatever time I had left after all that work, and work grazing the sheep, and work cultivating wild edibles, and work just to stay alive and clean and fed, I'd relax by playing my little harp and singing to my sheep!
What s nice thought. Is it possible for you to do some of this? At home? Prayers.
healthy or not, you can do some of that. you chose what you do with your life.
OMG!!! What a beautiful comment!!! I am so grateful to teachers like Aaron, and many others able to use this amazing technology......( I'm sorry, I'm old so I probably don't even know what I'm missing!). Thank u for posting!! 👃✌️🥰🇨🇦
Lainey Bug you are my people!
Thank you 🥰
This is wild! I’ve been searching for primitive clothing making techniques for so long and no one ever shows making the thread/yarn! So glad I found this channel, I never knew you could do it so simplistically
Chill work brother. Like the lack of music. Really shows the value through labor of our possessions.
Spinning wool in a small wagon by the fire place while strapped. This is a fever dream, but a really good one.
You are incredible. This is facinating to watch and learn. Isn't it funny how you live this primitive lifestyle out of integrity and trutth and, at the same time, because of technology you can share it with the world. In a perfect world i think both could exist symbiotically. Seems like you model a good example of how to do that. Thank you for sharing.
Excellent demonstration of hand spinning.
This is amazing to watch. I have spun Black Welsh Mountain, grey Gotland , Romney, and Corradale. Some prepared for spinning, and some raw in the grease, but this is awesome and you taught me that fancy equipment are unnecessary. I have a drop spindle and a set of dog brushes. I have even dyed my wool as well. Thank you for taking the time in making this video . I will definitely share it with my spinning group 🐏🐑😊
I love spinning wool! So cool to see you doing this!
I have carded fleece and spun on a wheel or drop spindle however have not seen your technique. Love it. Simple and less tools.
Have you seen my super simple new “box felting” technique yet?
Ten little folks learning this around the park or village would help make more string and teach the little ones how to make sheep string… Freaking awesome Aaron…
I'm so happy to see you spinning. I have daydreamed coming to Oregon kust to teach you to spin! Of course I can't get there... LOL spinning is such an ancient craft, I believe older than flint knapping.
Kinda on topic.... Years ago when my hens were the target of raccoons,. I heard that if u put Tufts of dog hair, where they were coming under the fence, they would stay away..... 🤔 Not true..... BUT I found out dog groomers have A LOT of real clean,. doggy hair......, that is totally useable!!!!!! 👃✌️🥰🇨🇦
WOW! You are a real pioneer man!
A man of many talents
coolest video Aaron! love that stove. super nice. love seeing your spinning. u just showing people dont need all the fancy equipment to spin. u are so blessed to have all that wool.
Relaxing, could you show us what you are making with the yarn you are spinning?
So cool!
It’s meditative just watching you do that. I’d like to learn to spin and weave, as I’m a bit of a textile nut and have developed a craving for woolen scarves and shawls (Jamawar is my favorite thus far). It would be really cool to learn to make fabric. Thanks for the demonstration! ☮️❤️🐾
I learned to weave when I was a preschooler. My neighbor had a full size loom and taught me. It's not super difficult, but fun. You can do it! You can make a frame loom, and learn from UA-cam.
Wow! Amazing.
I always wondered how you did very cool
Simpel but grounding video. More please!
I remember doing this with my grandma.
Those where some itchy 🧦.
Very cool. That has to bit the miniest of mini stoves! Nice.
Not me wondering if I can try this with all the Siberian Husky fluff in my house...
For sure you can
Do you ever weave or knit/crochet with the yarn or is it just for mending/stitching? If you would be open to weaving or knitting, have you thought about getting a rigid hedgle loom or even that plastic knitting machine everyone is raving about now? It doesn't seem like thy would take up much room storage wise and you could use them with that little lapp table panel you have!
Felting was the first textile, wools main thermal attribute is its crimpiness allowing for insulative airspace between so any textile that begins with twisting the wool voiding the crimp insulation pockets isnt as worth embarking on making as felt in my experiences.
@@123Homefree I've always wanted to be able to grow and harvest my own flax, then process linen and weave some airy summer fabrics, experimenting with natural dyes. I always thought it would be cool to be able to make my own linen and wool textiles. I also at least like the idea of weaving as an art. Maybe there would be a way to add a woven pattern over a felted base. I'm an artist at heart, so all my fantasies have either designs or music involved, lol!
Ooh, and I'd also love to work with leather processing and crafting with any animals I'd hunt.
Fireplace looks amazing. Lots of inspiration seeing that!
hello from texas
most based channel on youtube
Wow that was pretty neat how you did that I always thought a person needed a spinning wheel thanks for the video GOD Bless You
Very cool man. what will you make with that newly spun wool?
Great vid!
Tell us about the stove and your setup and temperature's
Hey nice job, how is your stove working in that small space? I was curious if it gets too hot.
Do you plan on playing your yarn? Definitely different take on spinning, versus a drop spindle. Nice work.
I can't get it right the twisting part the wool keeps wrapping around the bamboo
About how long is that strand when you finished?
How many days to make pair of socks?
I thought it was going to fly all over like cat hair, but it didnt. It must be much heavier/why its used to keep warm right? Duh :) Good to see your new stove is cooking away !
Can you do a chimney cleaning tutorial for us noobs?
Just pull the stove pipe sections apart and run a stick around the inside for a second it knocks all the soot out easy as that.
Hello Brother, is it more efficient/effective to "pull: by hand" than using felting brush?
probably space is an issue. those carders can be pretty big!
Carding paddles rip the fibers in half, my finger carding method produces stronger yarn albeit not as perfectly consistent in diameter its about the same speed as using carding paddles
@@123Homefree thank you, that makes sense...I going to use your method...
@@123Homefree That makes sense, I will use your method for the strength is more important to me. Thank You. Blessings
Is it okay to hand wash the bags of raw sheep wool I bought last year and let it dry in the sun before felling, making yarn, etc. I want to leave the lanolin in the wool. I don’t mind dirt in it but there could be poop i
which I would want to get out. I’m waiting until early summer and the rain is over. I’m not planning on using soap or washing it in the washing machine. Just want to wash it by hand gently dipping it in a bucket and rinsing. Then lay it out to dry. Will this work before I use it? I want to follow your techniques with the wool.
My finger carding technique requires the wool lock fibers to be parallel like when you pull it off a freshly shorn fleece, washing tends to scramble the fibers somewhat so if i were gonna wash the poo and dirt out but keep in the lanolin i would lay out your fleece in a non breezy area, pull off individual locks to hand wash in warm water with no soap then cloths-pin them to onto a drying line or lay them out in a hanging herb dehydrator and hang it in a non breezy area so they remain all aligned fir easy grabbing and processing
Thank you! I bought the raw sheep wool and it’s been sitting in my attic! I didn’t know how to proceed. I have looked all over trying to figure out how to process it without washing it. You’re the only one I’ve ever seen that does not wash the wool with soap!
Haven’t watched all your videos but how do you feed sheep in the winter? If you wouldn’t have access to hay or industrially produced food?
Geurrilla graze
@@123Homefree okay so they will eat the grass beneath the snow then? Does it snow a lot in Oregon? Asking because I’m in Sweden and we get a lot of snow here in the winter.
Are the sheep sleeping at that time?
Yes
Bro, the heel of your piece is showing. You might want to keep that footage on the DL. 😂
Why i open carry
Sweet. Wish I lived in a place that was legal, it would probably be a lot safer than our stupid ‘concealed carry only’ law.
how much money do you make living life like this? I want to do it too
None im too busy trying to prototype this subsistence lifestyle but you could make money yourself with the ways ive shown as possible services with this lifestyle like scything, felted clothing, felting lessons, farmhanding, farmsitting, selling milk/cheese/icecream, collecting pellets in poopcups to sell, giving foraging workshops, etc
@@123Homefree thanks for the enlightenment
How long is the yarn? ~ 5m?
I dont know i never thought of it in length making sewing yarn only ever thought about that when weaving and needed overt amounts
