Aus/NZ shearers are seriously fast, I cooked for them at one point and snuck in to watch them😄 They work so hard, so fast, but so perfectly!
The Greater Milwaukee Knitting Guild was happy to spot our team in your coverage of the Walk and Knit competition. Thank you!
Yay! You knit a great race! 🎉😊
Thanks so much for sharing your Wisconsin Sheep and Wool Festival wit h us. The green roving you bought really compliments the color of your eyes.
💚💚💚
The orange and purple locks are…no words!!! 😮
I have 3 of his spindles and ALL of them spin forever......and ever.....and ever.... Fun fact, I swore off learning to spin until my cousin dragged me to Sheep and Wool. 5 mins in his booth, he gave me a quick lesson and I bought a spindle and then roving and now fast forward 20 some years, I teach and have enough wool to insulate a 3000sqft house. LOL.
Haha, I love it!
great to see and hear you , looks like you had a lot of fun there
The sheep shearer is so skilled...your comments about trained shearers is so true...we need more!!
Wow what a cool video. Thank you for sharing. I loved watching the sheep shearer. That sheep probably thought Ooooo that's a little chilly. But oh so good feeling. Lol. He was so gentle with them. I really enjoyed watching
Well that was fun to watch. I'm sure i would love to go to a yarn festival with you together or even meet you there 😁 (unfortunately i'm on the other side of the pond). So much interesting and beatiful stuff! I realy do love the green wool you got, it compliments you very well ... and those Locks!!! the orange-black ones, absolutely stunning. Also never heard of a Pendulum Wheel before, very fascinating. Looks like it needs a lot of practice to get the right rythm. Even those young sheep are so fortuate to have ther first ever sheering done by such a skilled sheerer. Its so important to not ruin the experience from the get go. ❤
I helped at a sheering this year for the first time. It was a great and important experience (especially as beeing a spinner myself), but unfortunately both for the sheep and the sheerer a very rough day, working under a scorching summersun all day and everything.
Thanks for sharing and all the best to you!
@JillianEve
The camera man is a hoot! "Tell us about the pallets, what breed are they?" - BWAHAHAHA.
It must be a videographer thing - my husband would've said the same thing.
Eager to see all the projects and really want to see you spinning the locks.
OMG! I miss this festival so much. I have been living in Texas for too long. I haven't even spun anything in years. I used to drag my little daughter along to the Wi Sheep and Wool Festival. She is a 38 year old woman now and a phenomenal knitter herself.
This was so cool to watch! Especially the sheep shearer and the pendulum spinning, very very cool! (Also the tiny clip at the end made me laugh out loud) And can I just say, thank you so much for putting subtitles on your videos, I really appreciate it
Oh my gosh are you from Wisconsin?!?!?! I LOVE YOU EVEN MORE! HOMESTATE BESTIE!! LET'S GOOOO
It gave me such a thrill to see this video! I lived in Wisconsin for many years and never missed a Sheep and Wool Festival if I could help it. Now that I'm in Italy I haven't been in 8 years. Thanks for the peek into a long-missed favorite event!
swooooon... Gotland is so beautiful. I have some that I have never spun because it is so beautiful as it is, lol.
Hi Jillian Eve, ThankS for taking us along nice finds. I’d be interested in seeing a locks spin and how to spin with silk.
Oh my the locks are delightful. I bought some locks on the weekend at a Spinning Retreat so I would love to see a lock spinning video
Thank you for taking us along!!!! Beautiful fibers, cute cute kits, and wonderful baskets... ❤❤
Love the little baskets xx
You crack me up. I appreciate your videos so much. They always bring me joy and I truly appreciate that. I don't want to over share, but I've had a rough year and finding a good channel that provides these good escapes is so rewarding. Thank you for making a channel that fits this need for me.
I'm happy you guys had a good time at the festival 😊
Thank you for this video, your channel never fails to bring me joy, I'm so thankful for that.
I live in Wisconsin!! I’m sad I missed you!!! ❤😢
I'll be back next year! 💖☺️🐑
I was there on Friday. It would have been very exciting to see you there
Love your video of Wisconsin Sheep & Wool! Love it all, especially the green Rain Forest fiber!
We are going to Rhinebeck in NY State next month and I can't wait!
Have fun!
I was schooled by my viewers when I did a breed study that the pronunciation of Masham is mass-um.
Good to know, thank you!
I enjoyed the Sheep & Wool Festival too. Hope to meet you next time. Thanks for sharing what you found at the vendors.
The joy in this video is tangible! The festival looks so amazing and I can't wait to see what you make with everything you got!
Oh my goodness, i had forgotten that was last weekend and spent saturday at the quilt expo in Madison instead. I'll have to put it in my calendar for next year so i don't forget.
Evie! After drop spinning for years, I was inspired by your videos to buy my first wheel a few months ago. Until yesterday Id been been respinning chunky yarn I harvested from a thrifted blanket and hand dyed.
This year was my first going to the Wisconsin sheep and wool festival and my first time buying roving. I started in on my 8oz of BFL from Ewetopia and I cant put it down. Its too gorgeous and I'm obsessed. Thank you thank you for your encouragement and videos. I hope to see you at the fest in person some year soon ❤️
What a great experience! Thank you for taking us along 😊
This is my hometown. So funny how this popped up in my feed. I'm going to have to check out some of your videos.
I was there on Sunday and got a beautiful corriedale fleece. Next year I'm going to try to the festival for a couple of days.
I think I'll be there all three days next year. Since I drove home Saturday evening, I missed the fleece auction. Sounds like you got a lovely fleece though, happy spinning!
lol nice ending
Hey! I was there on Saturday!
Thank you for bringing us along!
thank you for including the shearing clip!! i love working w sheep and theyre heavier than they look😂 but they are very agreeable once you get them propped on their backs like that
really loving your hair color right now!
I was sssoooo close to being there this year!!!!!
I was there for one day, it was so much bigger than I thought! Next year I'm definitely going to stay longer. I got a fab"ewe"lous clemes bag and some clean cotswold.
Oh my gosh! I bought the third Rainforest from Maple Row Stock & Fiber! She said someone was debating between buying two or all three and just bought two. I usually do a walk through eyeing potential purchases, but when I saw the lone Rainforest, I bought it because I knew it wouldn’t be there later. What a small world that it was you! 😊 I’m excited to see your spinning with it.
Oh funny! I bet you were laughing as you watched me talk about it in the video! That was definitely me with the other two balls. I was debating blowing my budget on the 3rd one, but I'm glad I didn't so you could have some too. I ended up getting the silk lap later so it all worked out! Happy spinning fiber twin! 🥰✨💜
Thank you for taking me to your local Woolfest. I miss the big shows here, in UK, though things are improving. What struck me most was how similar the American and UK shows are in atmosphere, if not in size. The attendees’ body language is almost identical.
Fiber Friends everywhere!
I am in New Zealand and we have about 25 sheep and we have a mobile shearer that comes and I live to watch it and sort the fleeces. So special 😊
He talked about how fast the New Zealand competition shearers can work. He sounded very impressed!
Hi Evie! I was watching your channels to see if you mentioned when you would be there! I was there all three days and hoped I would run into you, oh well! I bought the same wheel basket last year and I love it, it holds a lot! I also got a pincushion kit last year - mine has the cute kitty on it - and she recommends crushed walnut for the filling. I think I recall you saying you have a nut allergy? I bought a bag of emery for my pincushion which worked out really well. I would be happy to share some with you, just let me know, I'd be happy to meet you somewhere to give it to you 😊 You will really enjoy going to Randy's workshop, he is multi-talented and will probably let you try out that wheel. My spinning guild visited with him last fall and he was so interesting! I'll be watching for your videos to see what you create with all your wonderful purchases!
Yeah, walnuts and my immune system don't get along very well. I might try some emery that's a great idea!
@@JillianEve Well, I'm happy to share what I have, I'll never use it all! Let me know ☺
I was there all 4 days in classes! You should organize a formal meet up of fiber groupies next year. I also bought one of the gorgeous silk lapps from Thorntree Pass (reds and oranges). I would love to see hiw you spin it for a weaving project since that is what I am hoping to do (I have never woven with silk).
I *LOVED* the Wisconsin Sheep and Wool Festival!
This is the first time I'm learning about silk lap. Would love to know more on how to use it!
Love the purple hair! Thanks for taking us with you. This is such a treat for those of us who can't go.
What a beautiful collection of things from the festival! Last month my sister and I participated in a yarn store crawl across East TN and had just a phenomenal time checking out all of our local yarn stores and supporting them by buying absolutely beautiful yarn. I would love to go to a festival like this. The sheep shearing demonstration was so cool! Honestly, watching the sheep get sheared just reminded me of the small number of vegans who won't wear wool because it's an animal by-product and I got a little mad. Obviously that little sheep was in great hands and so well taken care of. I'm sure she was happy to have her coat shorn for the hot september weather as well.. Thanks for a lovely video. Can't wait to see what you get up to next.
Thank you for taking us with you!
So fun🥰 thank you for bringing us along💕
I think I saw you there on Friday! I should have stopped to say hello. I just bought my first drop spindle and your tutorial was the first one I watched
Next year come say hi. Happy spinning!
I'm intrigued by the silk lap, I've not seen that before! And I didn't know you could felt silk. Would love to see any videos you make on the topic.
Very fun video:) I'm going to my first fiber festival in November and I can't wait!
You can't wet felt silk on it's own, but if you have a base of wool that you are felting, you can incorporate the silk in there and the wool will hold on to it. You can also needle felt the silk. I wanted to pop in here an leave a comment to clarify why I said felters love this kind of silk. On it's own, you would have a soggy mess, but with wool it's magical! I hope that clarifies it. 😊💜✨
If I was younger (I'm 59) I would love to learn & work sheering sheep. The silk and lock fibres are gorgeous, I can't wait to see how you spin, weave & knit with them all. Thanks for taking us to the wool festival.
So much wanted to attend this year but it wasn’t in the cards. Thanks for sharing!
I’m so happy for this upload California sheep and wool festival will happen soon and I plan to go to and was wondering what it would probably be like
I hope you have the best time!
Thank you for taking me to a special place. Debs from Western Australia. ❤
I was there on Friday and sorry to miss you! But I purchased a Scottish spindle there thanks to you introducing us to it in a past video. Heck, you were the one who told me about this event last year. So thank you for indirectly causing me to have a great long weekend!
Yay! I'll take responsibility for that! ☺️
Ah! My friend and i came first in the crochet relay race!! In our prize bag, there was roving from a blue faces leicester, and last year I had bought a turkish spindle, played with it for a week and put it away, but the winning of that roving made me dig it back out amd i used your video on plying to remember that bit, but when i went sunday, i was just spinning all day!
Oh fun! Congratulations on your win too! 🎉
I go every year and this year was the best! The weather was perfect, lots of wool goodies to see and buy. A great day all around!
I always love your videos. Thank you for taking us along 💚🧶💚
This festival is definitely on our agenda for next year.
Just found your channel and I will be watching more. I have 2 wheels but do not really know how to use them. Hope to learn from you!
This was my first-time going to the Wisconsin Sheep and Wool Festive. I had a wonderful time. I saw you at the Sheep shearing demonstration. But didn't stop to say "Hi". I picked up one of the spindle baskets and a beautiful 50% Baby Camel and 50% Tussah Silk roving braid. Your right the must have been something about the blue/greens. Thank you so very much for your UA-cam videos.
Wow, that sheep shearing demo was so fast.
Thank you for giving us a tantalising taste of the Wisconsin Sheep and Wool Festival.
I'm going to guess that you are planning on spinning the silk so that the colours don't end up run together and muddy. My suggestion would be to spin the silk as finely as you can and then weave it into a wonderful, glowing piece of fabric. Given that you don't have a huge amount, you may need to look at using some other fibres in the weaving project, e.g. use the silk for decorative edges and put linen in the middle.
I'm sure you'll think up something interesting. Have fun with all the projects you brought home.
I was there Thursday and Friday and it was AMAZING
I loved this video on the festival. So often these kinds of videos which just wander in a hyperactive way, trying to see and show it all and ending up not really showing much of anything except tantalizing snatches. I loved your more in depth looks at a few of the vendors, interspersed with interviews and commentary. And I was definitely impressed with the shearer. I've seen videos of course but also I've seen it in person by a team of shearers on a sheep ranch back in the 1970's. This fellow did the smoothest, cleanest shear I've seen. It's an art.
Thank you very much for sharing 😊.
Omg I saw you there but was too nervous to say hi!
Next year! ☺️💖🐑
I wonder if I could get my mechanically inclined significant other to engineer a scale model of that pendulum spinner... I had no idea until this video that such a thing even existed!
Minnesota Fiber Fest is coming up in October 21 at Isanti County Fair Grounds.
I've thought about going up there!
@@JillianEve I am helping out at the event and I would love to meet you in person. Also I can introduce to some LOVELY Minnesota Farmers.
8' of work in 15 seconds or so is an *incredible* speed, wow. I'm a woodworker interested in making spindles and if anything could get me to learn how to cartwright it would be this. Even with a slightly scaled down arm this would be a pretty serious machine. I'm gonna replay that section probably a hundred times to figure out how to make it.
Glad you enjoyed your trip!
Looks like you had a wonderful time. You brought home some beautiful treasures. I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with the locks.
It would be nice to see you spin the silk and use it for a weaving project. ..
I just found your channel today and I'm hooked! Binge watching your videos as I knit my first *successful* sock! :)
OMGG I want that lil spinning wheel basket for foragingg 🌿🍄😩 Awesome video as always, Evie!
It would be perfect!
Yesssssssss jealousss
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Love every one of your videos ❤ really wish there was a fiber festival near me. Sometimes I feel like the odd one out because nobody else near me does fiber crafts. That’s why I absolutely love the online fiber community. ❤ thank you for sharing your adventure
I saw you there but you were busy talking!! LOL
I'm sorry, there were so many fiber friends. Maybe next year?
I love your podcasts. You're so clever, a joy to watch .I'm in the United Kingdom so can't get hold of one of those beautiful spindle baskets they look marvellous so useful. Thanks again x
One day I will have to go. Thanks for bringing us along.
Thanks for virtually joining me! ☺️🐑💖
I wish I was able to meet you! I was there all day Sunday, and walked away with SO MUCH fiber and a new blending board.
Yes more info on the silk blanket-thingy!!! I have never seen, nor know anything about what it's for !! Thank you very much for all your work!
Love the spindle basket
It was so great to meet you at the spindle booth! I watched your video on supported spindles to help me get started into spinning, and now I have a wheel and love spinning!!
Awesome! Happy spinning! ☺️🐑💖
I would love to see a tutorial on spinning silk and blending silk! I have some and no idea how to use it! I loved seeing you at the festival! Thanks for your recap!
Such fun finds!
I got the spindle basket per your recommendation about a year ago and I absolutely LOVE it! Highly recommend Susan Preuss! ❤
Great video Evie!
I liked how you interjected with showing us your purchases in depth.
I do wish there could be a resurgence in the wool industry…..
We get zero return for wool here in NZ… in fact it costs!
Sheep are being slaughtered in full fleece, and many farms (including our own) are dumping wool 😢
Naturally, the animal HAS to be shorn for its welfare, but as far as “profit”, it’s a dismal story.
Get this:
Carpets in many NZ schools are needing to be replaced and the NZ government has sourced carpet from AMERICA.
I have nothing against America, but why isn’t our OWN wool being used????????
Yeah, I agree, it's a broken system right now. 😢
What a wonderful event!! Thank you for sharing this. Im off to go get a basket…..and maybe a few other things hahaha.
maybe show how to do the barebones basics of working with silk lap?
I am so glad we got to say hi! We got to talk about dyeing sheep in minecraft with my son!😂 I got to do the knit and walk, it was so fun! I love this festival, so glad you were filming there!❤
Thanks for saying hi! It sounds like you had a great day too. ☺️💖🐑
I wasn’t able to make it this year. Maybe next year. I went 2 years ago for my first time and I got my Schacht Matchless spinning wheel.
The needle case and pin cushion are so cute!!
So cute! 🥹
Regarding the silk lap : I bought 2 tussa laps (so the moth had escaped before it was made) and they are THE most beautiful gold colour. I tried a little on it's own, but my hands got cramped very quickly. (I have an old injury that plays up) So I blended it 50/50 with alpaca... here is where I wipe the drool off the keyboard... oh my... it was amazing! Going to get more silk.... dammitall.... 😉
Always a treat to see a newJillianEve video in my Notifications. Thanks for the happy vicarious walk through a fiber festival (haven't had a chance to go to one since we moved to Alaska in 2019).
i hope you show us both the spun yarn & the woven end product of that orange eggplant Mashaam fiber
Yes, that's coming up for October. 🎃
I had a wonderful time going to the festival, thanks to you!! That modified walking wheel was, well, a bit of an unattractive precursor to the industrial revolution, wasn't it? About your silk -- it could make a lovely warp -- what do you think? xoxpaula
Ooh, maybe a weaving project 🤔
Thank you for the tour of the Wisconsin festival. The fibers and the locks are just beautiful. And the colors - Wow! Looking forward to seeing what becomes of these. I am not familiar with the silk or what can be made from it. I'm not a spinner...yet.
I can't wait to see the projects from these!!! Those locks! Ahhhhhhh
I'm in West Virginia and there's just nothing like that here. I'm so so soooo jealous. ❤❤❤ I would've been in debt by the end of that day haha
I wanted to go so bad. Had a room reserved but moved to Arizona in June. Had to cancel my plans
