    My 2nd grader had the word WEAVE today as part of his spelling homework. He didn't know what it meant, after I explained the meaning. I came to youtube to show him a video of how it worked. This was so informative! We watched together and we were fascinated! He said he can't wait to tell his teacher about not only weaving, but how it comes from sheep and ends up as a scarf! That's a huge deal for us. Thank you for putting this together and breaking it down so nicely

      @@agnetegrenild1588 Look into joining a spinning guild in your area when the Cov settles. An inexpensive way to start is with a student spindle kit from The Woolery. Then here on UA-cam you can learn to make a simple Backstrap loom to weave. No need to buy a lot of expensive equipment to start the fiber journey! That scarf can be easily made by spindle spun yarn and a backstrap loom. Then if you love it all invest in equipment. Fleeces can be bought at Fiber Festivals and the wool dyes from Dharma Trading. Best Wishes to a fabulous lifestyle & hobby! Hobby farms generally require a separate income. Happy New Year.

      Hands down the best learn to spin book on a wheel is by Anne Fields. ‘Spinning Wool: Beyond the Basics’. One book covers it all from types of fleece, cleaning, methods of spinning. If you want to dabble cheap intro. “Respect the Spindle” Lot of wannabes late to the party really not experts authors who write about a new hobby to waste your money on.

    Many years ago, I learned to card wool, spin it with a spindle and a spinning wheel, and weave it at UC Davis's Craft Center. It was one of the most wonderful things I have ever learned to do, along with throwing ceramic pots on a wheel. I have knitted since the age of 6 and crocheted since the age of 8. I learned how to sew not long afterward and I love doing all kinds of things with yarn and threads and fabric. I guess I will always enjoy this. I envy the fact that you have a weaving loom. I only hope I can teach some of what I know to the younger generations, especially now that I have a granddaughter. I would love to spend a year on your farm and learn even more about sheep, carding, dyeing wool, spinning, and weaving.

      I wish i could do some kind of apprenticeship to learn about this kind of stuff. I don't think I'd be able to fully commit to dropping my life and starting a farm (definitely would consider it if someone that knew more about it asked me to join them) but I would love to be able to produce linen for friend crafters (im much better at working with plants than animals), grow my own harvest, make my own soap, etc.
      Right now I'm focusing on getting through college so I can get a job, and someday that job will pay for a little homestead where I'll be able to do all my little projects.

    When you buy at Wal-mart, all this work is done in a sweatshop in Asia by 8 year old kids. The final product is cheaper, because they only pay those kids pennies a day. Hand-crafted items are more expensive, but you're getting a product that was made with love and care, and generations of experience handed down.

    I loved watching every step of the process! It's incredible to think about the number of hours that go into making one scarf, but I guess that's what makes it so satisfying. I can only imagine what a thrill it is to be involved with a project from the very beginning! Did you say it takes three months for you to get your yarn after you've delivered the wool to the spinning place? That seems like a long time to wait! Thanks again for sharing. And you're right, there's no amount of money that would suffice to pay you appropriately for the amount of work. But if the person who buys your work appreciates and values it, then it's got to be gratifying!

    Very enjoyable to watch. I am a knitter but I can see myself doing the weaving also. Fabulous video.

    That was such a great informational video. We watched it because Christoper Columbus' father was a wool weaver. Thank you for sharing with us! We loved the colors you chose for your yarn.

    I guess this is where the old saying "Sit and spin!" comes from! This looks like an excellent life skill to have.

    Very informative. I completely understand the pricing issue. I Smock. When i lived in Connecticut the market bore $300 per dress. Now that I live in Georgia, I can't give them away. I would love to have one of your scarves, unfortunately I'm allergic to wool. Thank you so much for sharing your craft with us. Please let me know if you ever use cotton. I'm always open to barter.

    Love this wee film, think I have watched it hundreds of times now, and still not fed up of it. Began weaving one year ago, along with kniting, sewing again, embroidery, growing my own linen from flax, and only today bought my first rigid heddle loom. Gwen Handler, you are an inspiration, and what a beautiful scarf you make, very of the Earth!

      Pardon the late reply. To us spinners you sound like a big strong useful farm hand! All that hay doesn’t magically appear in the barn! Happy New Year Chris!

      Men can spin and weave, too! There isn't a rule forbidding it!

    History Ncerts are full of struggles of weavers in modern India, so got interested in the whole process and turned to youtube and came across this video. Absolutely wonderful!

    I love the sounds of a farm and hand work. I live on a busy road and would trade it any day for a life back on the land.
