Very thorough video! Thank you so much for all the work and effort you put into this. One question I have is why does the silk seem to need quite a bit of twist? I watched another video and the lady said she felt like it didn’t need much because it was so sticky anyway but she was spinning from a hanky so maybe that’s a bit of a different thing? Anyway, I bought a beautiful hanky while on vaca and am excited to try it but unfortunately I know there will be a learning curve which is sad because it seems so precious. Anyway, I will stop yapping and say thanks again for helping all of us who live where there are no local teachers. UA-cam is a life saver.
👋🏻 Thanks for your comment! Yes, hankies are a whole other ball game! The individual fibres in them are already intertwined so they don’t need a lot of twist. Glad to help! 😃
Once again, a very interesting and informative podcast, Becks! I really appreciated the two different samples that you spun up, and your discussion of how your knitted samples looked/felt. Thanks again for your conscientious approach in your videos...! Take care!
I really enjoyed this episode. I doubt that I would ever spin silk alone, but it was sure interesting to see it spun up. Your silk yarn was super thin. Thank for making these episodes.
A viewer suggested your channel to me and I’m so glad she did. Really enjoying your videos. I’m still a new spinner so it’s been super informative and interesting. And the cat antics are cute-I have similar trouble with my cat when spinning and knitting. 🙄
Hi Becks, Thanks for all the great podcasts. Quick question, what brand of mini scales do you use? Just wondering before I decide on which ones to get.

I think your video helped me more than any other I have watched. Thank you

Very interesting! Blessings from South Australia💕🐨
I wanted to get the silk ply magazine but it was out of print but a least they still have the digital one.
What ratios did you use? And thank you for doing this video!!!
Great information!

Thank!👏👏👏
Have U ever try peaceful silk called Eri silk.
Would you mind sharing the ratios you used :)
This was very interesting
Sorry, I'm on my husband's computer. That last note was from Margaret, not Mike.
have you ever spun silk hankies on camera before ??
"Smooth skin," welp, I'm out. I can't keep my hands moisturized to save my life.
Talcum powder is traditional solution to that problem
