    This is a really clear and informative video and I learned a lot but all I can think about is “it’s Ashford himself, the final boss you have to battle to become a true master of textiles”

    This is the best spinning video I've ever watched. Although it doesn't address the beginners laments of "Why does my yarn have pigtails? or Why does my yarn feel like wire?", it does show (very nicely) the rhythm of pedaling while drafting. Thank you for posting such a nice video!

    THANK YOU for these videos! Just bought my first wheel-- the Joy 2. I've been drop spindling for years, but wanted a wheel since I was a kid (more than 20 years!) I'm so happy with my new wheel!

    Absolutely clear as crystal! I've watched this and how to ply. I'm waiting for some Shetland tops to try spinning on my granny's spinning wheel which came to me. Thanks to your videos I feel like I know what I'm doing - enough to make a start anyway :-)

    I am excited to hear that your favourite is the Kiwi, after much debating i will order one after the weekend. I spun for years on a traditional one then foolishly gave it away when i moved. Only question is ...is double treadle easy to get used to, i have arthritis?

    Hi I have a ashford traditional spinning wheel and I am a beginner I have a problem with the cord popping off the whorl when I am trying to ply going in the counter clock wise. It seems to pop off at the knot so what can I do? Thank you

  • @onegreenev
    @onegreenev 6 років тому +1

    If you notice the thread twisting up into your fiber just pinch and counter twist a little and start drafting. I actually just slightly counter twist to be sure my fiber remains open enough to easily draft. I let go and don't keep my fingers pinched but keep my fingers on the fibers. Slightly counter twist and it is fast and smooth. Im learning on Llama fiber.

    • @linuxgirl_
      @linuxgirl_ 8 років тому +5

      Long ago all yarn was made like this, but not anymore. Most commercial yarn today is spun by machine. But many artisanal yarns are hand spun. They are usually expensive, and will tell you they are handspun.

    Those hooks appear to be a standard household items....do you know if there was an active effort to preserve access to the best style of hook for those machines by making said hooks available affordably for common household use?...or are modern hobby machines made by sourcing said affordable hooks?....thanks for the video regardless...very very cool stuff

      @sadieapple1 5 років тому

      I'm having the same problem, it just won't spin onto the bobbin & then the pigtails come. Have you discovered any help on this? I don't know which adjustments to make either.

      Saaame! It's so frustrating. I don't know what's wrong. I was given a super old spinning wheel that was my grandma's. The drive strings occasionally pop off too. I'm wondering if the issues are related.

    • @lynnann96
      @lynnann96 4 роки тому

      Now, two years later, I’ve just learned to fiddle with it each time I spin, tighten this, loosen that till it works. Mine is early 70’s. From my aunty. No exact settings. I love her though.

  • @Fuchsschwinge

    I purchased the traveller spinning wheel and I think I assambled it like it was said in the instructions. But I can only spin anti-clockwise with it, it doesn't twist the thread if spinning clockwise, it only pulls it. I can just not figure out what is going wrong there :( I think it has something to do with the break, but there is only one way to semble it up...

    Hi there, I'm a new to spining area and I just bought Ashford E-Spinning Wheels. Wondering if the machine can ply the fabric strips, about 1/2 inch stipes? I'm interested to plies 2 strands of the yarn ball together (I have lots of thin yarn and would like to make it bulkier but not as bulky as the art yarn do), sorry my bad english. Thanks :)

    • @sophieleibinger9794
      @sophieleibinger9794 9 років тому

      Freshdeeee i have done what your suggesting and the yarn is slightly to stiff/thick for the wheel but if your ok with helping the bobbin take on the yarn by turning it with your hands you should be able to

  • @Balenza345
    @Balenza345 9 років тому

    How does the bobbin take up the fiber?
    I've just built a Saxony spinning wheel which has a double drive. The bobbin spins slightly faster.
    Is the bobbin and flyer spinning at the same speed here?

    • @c094728
      @c094728 9 років тому

      They spin at the same speed if you hold the yarn from going in. The bobbin spins slightly faster as you allow the yarn to be taken in to wrap the yarn around the bobbin.

    • @Balenza345
      @Balenza345 9 років тому +1

      Don Kleppinger I thought the bobbin would spin slightly slower as the scotch tension band is stretched over the bobbin pulley.

    I have an Ashord traditional spinning wheel that has never been used. It sat in the garage for the 20 years. Recently I had it assembled and tainted. When I tried spinning with it, all the wheels turned. But the yarn is not collecting onto the bobbin. The yard kept twisting outside. What should I do?

    Hiya ! I'm french so sorry for my bad english...I tried to spin yarn on a wheel, I've got alpaga fiber, after a few hours my yarn was pretty, but when I get off the yarn of the bobine everything fall apart !!!! I turn the wheel in the clockwise, my tension was good I think, the yarn was correct. Have you an idea ? Thank you ! *

      Hi,
      I am sure your English is better than my French :-)
      Did you ply your yarn? What do you mean it fell apart? The yarn? You should spin your singles in a clockwise direction then ply together in anti-clockwise. Enjoy

      people have different ways of spinning. This probably works for him. Personally I prefer to keep my hands much further away from the wheel.
