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.
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!
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. 🙄
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! 😃
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

I wanted to get the silk ply magazine but it was out of print but a least they still have the digital one.
Very interesting! Blessings from South Australia💕🐨

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
