I really enjoy watching your podcasts!! I love watching you spin and all the techniques you use. I have been spinning for 20 years. I still can’t get that long draw down!! Love, love, love Mary Chaplin Carpenter!!
Another Mary Chapin fan! Such a beautiful voice and her lyrics really speak to me. I learned longdraw kinda by accident when I was teaching myself to spin. My short forward draw is still a work in progress. We tend to go back to our default method...darn muscle memory! Thank you for your comment and for watching 💕.
Lisa, it's so good to see you! I've thought many times over these weeks of what you said about your Mom, that she didn't suffer fools lightly and what would she think of the state of things today! I, too, love Mary Chapin Carpenter!!! Thank you for checking in, and thank you for being a teacher. I'm helping my grandsons with remote learning and I'll tell you, our teachers are simply incredible x o
Hi dear Cary. It was my mom’s birthday yesterday. She would have been 94. It’s funny but I feel more like her all the time. 😊. I have an idea of what she’d be saying about now. Your gandsons are lucky to have such a great grandma. I pray for better times ahead. 🤗
I am so thankful for your wonderful guidance and presence. I bought my first drop spindle yesterday and found a mentor who will teach me soon. In the meantime I love learning the basics from you and some books I found. I must say you got me really interested in learning more so thanks again!
I've missed your videos Lisa. Your Jacob sweater is turning out great! I love to see the progress on each fleece and the unboxing of the new ones! Thank you for so many wonderful videos. You have brought me comfort and much needed distractions during the pandemic. I appreciate that you mentioned you plan to continue to produce podcasts while you are back to work full time. I live in Eastern Oregon and we had blue skys again yesterday because a storm blew through. We are experiencing more smoke. Luckily we are not in the part of Oregon that has been devastated by the fires. I am outside dying some yarn blue, hoping the color is close to the last 4 skeins I dyed a few weeks ago.
So lovely to have you back! Glad the school teaching has worked out for you. As always I am inspired by your spinning. I hope I will find time this weekend to do some.
Hi Lisa, I'm still binging on your channel. It's always so soothing & so inspiring, I just thought as you said it that those marigolds would be nice to dye with. No I'm not thinking of taking that up, at least not for a while. The lake looks a dream as the sun was coming up. You take care. I'll catch another one of your video / podcast. Love to you and your family. Jen xx
I was a bit worried and am so glad see you and made a new podcast. Good to see you Lisa in good health. In the last few months I got, thanks to you, quite an interest in supported spinning. I bought several very beautiful spindles. Now I must start trying but I have a little bit cold feet, I suppose afraid of failure. But in the end I will. Your spinning is as usual so excellent! Thank you for your podcast.
I’ve just discovered your channel. The way you present yourself and your craft is lovely! It’s very relaxing and engaging at the same time. I’ve learned more about spinning from you than I have any other channel that I’ve watched. Please keep up the beautiful work! God bless! ❣️
Lisa, thanks for the good wishes. I live in Sonoma County in California and it has been extremely challenging again this year. I pray next year is not like the last three. Really appreciate the concern and hope your sister is well and got through this well. Lovely vacation and again, great content on the spinning.
Hi Larae, yes, I pray that next year will be better. My sis is in the Livermore area and she told me the other day that she will never take a blue sky for granted again. ⛅️ ☀️. Take good care and thank you for watching!
Hi Lisa, I’m happy to see your podcast. I have been missing you and all the wonderful things you share with us. I’m also a Louise Penny fan, but I have several books to read before I even think about reading her latest. The Shetland colours you’ve spun are lovely! Take good care, Terry
So great to see you again! I love your videos, so refreshing and inspiring! We have so much in common - one day we should play piano duets on zoom! Thank you again so much for the very nice comments on our wool and the farm - I am so happy you like your wool!
Hi Lisa, I found you through Angela at yarn n yarns and I have really enjoyed watching your videos. When you mentioned feeling depressed and anxious about the news it resonated with me, as well as the solace spinning and knitting brings.
Just found you a couple days ago, such a joy! I've been doing lot of natural dyeing as a sanity-preserving pandemic project. I froze marigolds several years ago and re-found them and got LOTS of color from one ziplock bag full. I was happily surprised to get a beautiful mossy green when I dyed over gray yarn. So have fun with those marigolds:)
Very nice to see you back and well ...enjoying your podcast tremendously ❤️🌏🏝🇪🇸🇨🇦 Doing very well > after 28 years living in Canada ( original from Germnay ) now on the Canary Island ...it is very safe here > we can be outside the whole year ...it does makes it easy to stay safe ....take care of yourself > schools are not an easy place ..
So glad to see you again! Thank you for the spinning and spindle tips. I'm working on some Churro/Dorset homespun for some felted slippers that Jana at Purl Together just did videos about. I think it's overspun so I'm going to untwist it a bit before I process it. I'm going to use the singles because I'm still so irregular in my spinning that it should work out to be about a #5 yarn which will work great. I'm so glad you mentioned the Gamache series. I deliver papers overnight and I've listened to the whole series. It's wonderful! Three Pines sounds like home!
I am happy you posted a vlog. Like others, I have missed your presence. Besides having a soothing influence you have "enabled" me to begin an exploration of spindling. I am now almost never without a spindle project on me. My youngest granddaughter dances around as I spin, spinning like the spindle on chubby toddler legs. What delight! I'm hoping life treats you well and that you continue to occasionally post. Cheers!
So appreciate you taking time to share with us. I'm a brand new spinner and fleece processor - thank you for all your guidance. I feel like we're neighbors!
So good to see you again! Glad you have adjusted to back to work. You have inspired me with spindles and I’m enjoying the beauty of the craftsmanship and the feel of the spin. I went through all your back issues and have been looking forward to your next post. Blessings.
Love your Jacob spun wool jumper. That is one of my favourite natural fibres since I discovered this art. I just discovered you so will be watching you with your spindles. I love them and actually find I spin very fine. Still practicing🙌🏿. Love natural coloured fibres. I plan to, one day spin a sock quantity worth, striped in the natural shades of Jacob🥰
A pair of handspun Jacob socks would be beautiful. Someone just told me to add bit of mohair or silk to make them long wearing. I am spindle spinning sock Dorset Horn for socks, too. It would be fun to do a spindle spun sock-along !
It's wonderful to see you!! I have thought of you over the last couple months. I am in Oregon where the fires have been horrible until the last couple days. My brother is in California so I know what you mean when you talked about your sister. It is always a joy and inspiration to watch your podcast. While you were talking today I was sewing in the ends on a sweater I knit with my most unusual hands-on yarn to date -- one ply is Angora and the other ply is alpaca. I dyed this yarn with marigolds from my garden in August and it's so exciting to see how it is all working out. Keep on spinning and knitting. Thank you for sharing with all of us! Take care and see you next time. Tail wags to your pup!
So good to have you back Lisa! I’m glad work seems to be working out for you in these strange times. Your spinning is so beautiful- I am in awe of your gorgeous skeins. Thank you for the music tips - I will check Mary out. You captured the bitter sweet essence of this time of year perfectly in your footage of your garden ... beautiful. I look forward to your next episode.
Happy to see you back and that you and your family are healthy. Love all your spinning projects. I enjoy audiobooks because it allows me to spin and do other things as well at the same time.
Hi Lisa. The tips on ergonomics while spindle spinning are very helpful. I am reading the book about knitting ergonomics at the moment and it's also very helpful with some strain injuries. It was very relaxing to watch you talk about the beautiful fleeces and spins. I am enjoying some hand flicking merino and swifter while watching. Thank you for taking the time to make the videos. ☺
@@aiota628 for me it is very helpful. But to be fair, I also have had a lot of therapy and also from ergonomics therapists. I dont know if the book would be as helpful without prior knowlegde. But I do have a quite difficult and serious chronic condition. The book is definitely not a replacement for professional health care. But for healthy people with some strain issues it would probably be.
All the beauty in this episode: thank you so much. I love to see Peaches: how is she? You've been watching Keeping Faith: I've seen all the series now and actually miss her! You had a clip of the music: have you found the whole album on Spotify? I adore Amy Wadge's music. So full emotion. Did you now that Keeping Faith was filmed in both the welsh and english languages? I don't understand welsh but I'd like to watch an episode to see how it sounds. Take care, Nicky. I hope that you see the comments that arrive months or years after you record an episode.
Yes, I see the comments! Thank you for your kind words. Peaches is going strong at 12 years old. Had surgery in her knee right before COVID and she’s doing really well. 🥰
Oh, and I do hope school is going as well as can be expected. We are hybrid here in CT, and it is a nightmare. Teachers quitting, overwhelmed and drowning. Difficult times we are experiencing. 4 years to retirement, I’m counting them down.
As always your spinning is so inspiring. I'm so glad that your Enid Ashcroft spindle wasn't lost but just was having some extra adventure on the way to you. I have a question if you have the time to answer, no worries if not though I know you are super busy. When you are spinning a project on multiple spindles do you make sure that each of the spindles is the same weight? Hope that makes sense?
Hi Angela. Yes, when I spin on multiple spindles, I use about the same weight and spinning speed. I absolutely love Enid's work. I am so happy to finally receive my spindle. Take care 💜
Yes. I used my drum carder. You could also use hand cards and if the staple lengths are similar you could try blending with a pair of hand combs or hackle. I don’t have a hackle (yet 😉).

i just bought my first quantity of a natural grey shetland!! i’m so excited to spin it- thinking about making a colorwork yoke cardigan with it 😊
Thank you for sharing, you are a wonderful teacher.
So glad to see that you are back!!! Missed you!! Glad to see that you are healthy and safe.

Hi Lisa, thankyou so much for the Heart reply.
Happy Spinning, knitting & weaving.
Take care.

Of course, friend. I read and cherish tour comments. . Thank you for your support and encouragement 💕.

Happy to see that you are back I have missed your presence on UA-cam. Love the hand spun jumper.
What a wonderful garden Lisa. Oh my, that takes a green thumb and much effort. I miss mine although it was nothing compared to yours. Wonderful!!
I so love hearing from you! Congrats on the new 🚘. I love your sweater!
Lisa, thanks for the good wishes. I live in Sonoma County in California and it has been extremely challenging again this year. I pray next year is not like the last three.

Hi there..good to have you back. Ability to work at home in the winter snow and ice sounds good to me.wrapped in the Jacob sweater.

Our school is just starting to talk about blended. I think the winter is going to be rough, but I hope I’m wrong. Hang in there and take good care.
I love Louise Penny's Armand Ganache, but I listen to them in audiobook format. The narrators are very good and I can knit or spin while listening.

Love Mary Chaplin Carpenter-I’ve listened to her “Lafayette Square”, very appropriate to these times.....
Hello. Have you ever spun Finn? If so, would you ever blend it with Alpaca? Thanks.
Hi there. Yes. I have blended Finn with alpaca. It’s fantastic. About the same staple length and makes a soft and lovely yarn.
@@SoulfulSpinning thanks. Do you remember who you did the blend? Could you have used your drum carder for that blend? Thanks
Yes. I used my drum carder. You could also use hand cards and if the staple lengths are similar you could try blending with a pair of hand combs or hackle. I don’t have a hackle (yet 😉).
I hope you are doing well!
I am well and will be back soon. Thank you!
