Просмотров 427Месяц назад
Slow spinning on a Dealgan Spindle also known as a Scottish Spindle, Farsadh, or Fairsaid. Unique whorl-less spindle that produces a center pull ball (similar to a nostepinne). Ideal for travel, these stout spindles can withstand a lot and still spin true. This design pays tribute to the Scottish immigrants and is crafted from hard wood. @Matti Makes #mattimake #spinning #organization #wool #sp...

HERRSCHNER'S YARN UNBOXING - Pumpkin and Tree Kits! What's on Sale?
Love the color of the mohair. I think you said you dyed it-can you share what color and company you used. Mohair takes dye so beautifully, but I especially like this color.
It’s so beautiful! I’m thinking of spinning up mohair and targhee for socks, would you do 75/25 (75 being the targhee) blend? Also, could I dye my yarn when it’s finished as opposed to the raw fiber? Also, I don’t have a drum carder…can rolags made from hand carders work just as well? I’m new to spinning and to dyeing (fiber). Sorry for so many questions but tyia if you are able to answer any!
I do a 30% for the mohair but 25% should be enough to add strength and stability for socks. Yes, you can always die the yarn after spinning. ChemKnits has some great how to dye yarn tutorials. As long as the fibers are blended together the method shouldn’t matter. Rolags spin up well and are easier to handle than a batt so being new to spinning they are a great way to make a measurable progress, just remember to make up enough to complete your project. I am happy you’re getting into spinning and so happy that you let me be part of your journey. Happy Spinning.
@@mattimakeswow thank you so much for this! I’m so excited I found your channel ❤
So we have to undo the whole thing 😪 ⅓⁷²³
Yes - Sorry depending on your make and model. Please see your user manual for details.
I have the spindle and I love spending on it
Yes, more power to the Scottish Spindle. I spin on both of mine and hopefully I can learn to make some this week. I will be visiting my parents, I will try to talk my dad into teaching me how to make them.
Belated happy birthday too!❤🎉
Thank you much!!!
A great week! Love the yarn from the combed fleece.😊
Yes, I loved the way it spun up as well. But such an ordeal to comb all the VM out. Worth it!!
You make it look so easy
Thank you! It is a user friendly drum carder and I have been working with it for years.
Hello beautiful girl 🖐️🖐️❤❤
Hello - thanks for watching!!
Hi Matti, Thankyou so much for sharing this video podcast. Going from Long Wool Locks to a 3 Ply Handspun Yarn, was amazing to watch. Your finished Handspun Yarn looks amazing. You got a lot of Yarn out of 6oz fiber. You gained a New Subscriber. Happy Blending and Spinning Fibre Friend 🎉🎉🎡🐑🥰 Take care, love and hugs Jen xxxx (uk)❤️❤️🫂🫂🫂🐈⬛🫂
Thank you so much! I work hard on putting this video together, so happy it is appreciated. You make my heart happy.😃 🐑🧶
Thanks.. very helpful 😊
Happy to help.
Suffolk? Yes, that method should work well. However, for finer fleeces, Merino and derivatives, I would expect at least partial felting with this method. Those are better off in smaller batches in laundry bags in rectangular plastic wash basins, where you can use a spatula to get underneath the bag to lift out the wool without agitating it. When I wash fleeces, I separate getting out the sand and soil from getting out the lanolin. I first soak the wool in lukewarm water, depending on how dirty it is, two or three times. Then it goes into very hot water (I mix boiling water in with the hottest tap water, it should be at least 160°F) with some blue Dawn. You will see that water instantly get cloudy with the lanolin coming out. One wash with the soap has always been enough for me, and I don't let it sit long. After rinsing in equally hot water, I put the bag flat between towels and gently press on it. Then it goes onto a nylon pop-up sweater dryer, still in the bag, for a few hours. Then I take the wool out of the bag to let it dry fully.
I love spinning on a dealgan. I use it as a drop spindle too.
It is such an easy spindle to use. Took it out in the wild Sunday, got some interesting looks. Walked through Target and Fred Meyer and spun while my son shopped for legos.
Thanks for sharing this, i have learnt a lot from you. Please share your Dr Who quilts but later when you are ready, no pressure as good work takes time! tour de fleece next, and i’m hoping to progress some more.
You’re so welcome. Yes I will keep you updated on the Dr. Who quilts . As well as updating on TdF.
Thanks! I hope you make more of these so we can see you spin it.
That's the plan!
Thanks for the video. Most people who claim to be "allergic" to wool aren't allergic at all. You are right that it has to do with the harsh commercial processing but it has to do with the irritating broken ends of the wool due to chemicals. People aren't "allergic" but their skin is being irritated by those broken brittle ends.
Thank you for sharing! Yes, the broken ends would cause a lot of irritation. It could appear as a contact dermatitis. I appreciate you!!
Wow, thank you!!!
You’re welcome, glad I could help.
I would love the pattern for the scarf you’re wearing!
The hair scarf that I was wearing at the beginning of the video is a pattern by Cinnamon Stitches. ruclips.net/video/jhF510eChOs/видео.htmlsi=vxBd0I_2U1lr8J9f I like this one because there are no ties!
Could you put it in a mesh bag and tumble dry or would that make it felt?
Do not put in your dryer it will felt. Air dry is best. I try to put it out in the sun on warm days, but I have put on clothing dry racks inside as well.
I believe they used lye soap back in the day to clean their wool.
Yes, a mixture of animal fats and lye water. That was the basic soap for all things. I make a lard soap made a modern version of that, but have yet to see if it will clean wool.
I find, when I do a three-ply, that they never end all at the same time! So by the end of the three-ply I have plied normally, then I bracelet-ply the thickest bobbin to get back to three, and if THAT runs out before the end of the last bobbin I use the loop to start a chain ply, which gets me a three-ply all through the yarn :) I haven’t spun for socks yet, or with mohair, but I’ll rewatch this video when I’m going to!
Happy to know someone else deals with these issues with doing a true three ply. Thank you for watching.
I just got a Bullfrog and love it! I'm just wondering why you didn't use the built in lazy kate? This yarn is going to make beautiful socks!
Reasons for not using the Bullfrog’s lazy Kate: I only have one of the metal dowels. I have yet to make the other two. I also don’t like pulling the singles up and over to ply them. I currently have a frozen left shoulder and it won’t do that motion. I have the sock done from toe to half way through the foot, they are looking pretty good 👍 🧦
This is absolutely gorgeous yarn! I was wondering: what caused that one braid to be brittle?
There could be a number of reasons. With this once since the other fiber I bought was fine. I think it was damaged because heat and dryness before the dyer received it and the dying process just exacerbated the problem.
Thank you for taking the time to share this great demonstration. Really useful info, and such pretty batts!
Thank you much. There is a lot more fiber content on the way. I have a lot of fiber to process and many more Jacob fleeces.
this is so calming aahah it helps my ADHD when working :)
So happy I could help. Spinning and fiber arts in general are very calming.
Great video. Nice pace for me who is trying to learn.
Awesome, more shearers are needed. Especially one who are good to the sheep 🐑. It was amazing to learn. Wish I started years ago I would have made it a career. With the high need for shearers a lot of them travel around the world 🌎 for work. If you haven’t seen a shearing competition you need to they are fabulous.
A great job
Thank you, it was a wonderful trade to learn. There is still a huge need for shearers around the world. 🌎
So how many yards did this make? Pretty color
It made about 264 yards. I knit socks two at a time toe up I should have enough. Though they might be a little on the short side. What do you think? I love the color as well.
Hi Matti, OMG that was really awesome to watch. It was my first time watching the whole process of making yarn. I can't wait to see the socks. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so very much for your kind comment 🐑🧶. If you want see more of the process I have a play list that takes you from freshly sheared to socks.
That yarn came out beautiful!
Thank you! 😊
Thank You for sharing.
Your welcome!!
What degreaser are you using
Fabuloso in the lavender
Great fiber haul! I love spinning polworth. I’ve never spun yarn with fabric scraps before. What a great idea!
Thank you! 😊 so much. It’s a fun process, if you give it a go tag me on instagram.
What size drum carder is that
Standard size Drum Carder
Appreciated!
My batts were good at first but now there’s lots of little hook shapes on one side of the batt from it getting caught on the drum, do you know how to fix this?
I’m not 100% sure about your situation. ? Is the batt on the main Drum getting cought on the hooks from the small licker drum? If that’s the case the drums need to be adjusted further apart. If that is not the case. How are you removing the batt?
@@mattimakes it’s not getting caught in the small licker, I remove it by running the drum slow on reverse and pulling the batt off
@kayaramirez5608 Could you share a video of your process / how the machine is setup via FB or FB message . I could try to figure out what is happening and find a fix. Sounds like what you’re doing is correct.
Well, i just happened by and your my new fav. Following from NS. Thank you so much!
Thank you for stopping by. I appreciate you!
❤❤❤ so cool!!
Thank you
Where do you buy the degreaser and 9 elements soap and the names of both I like how it cleaned the wool i have three bags to clean these summer please help
I bought them both through Amazon. There are many sellers for each so doing some searching for the best cost per once is needed. a.co/d/cngHBRP And a.co/d/3GdCNvj There are also several fragrances in each. I use the lavender Fabuloso and eucalyptus 9 elements dish soap. Let me know what fragrance combo you choose.
Cool!
They look so good!
Thank you much!!
Thank u
Welcome
This video is a life saver! Thank you!
Good maintenance will definitely increase the life of your Drum Carder. I plan on getting back to more fiber shenanigans as the weather get warmer. I'm happy to help.
This is one of the best videos about drum maintenance I’ve seen. A lot of content creators focus on the use of them, and they neglect the maintenance. I really appreciate this series!
Rebecca - you make my heart happy. Thank you much for your kind words. Glad this series was helpful to you.
Great job❤❤❤
Thank you! Cheers!

Hello Sean - I’m sure you can give me many pointers when it comes to shearing. I was happy just learning. 😉
@@mattimakes ahh left the mad game when dad died in 1991 as it was him who put me in it. - but have got back in too the industry when found out wild brother- Malcolm O'Dwyer still in the game at 67 age. - the weirdo thing about him was he was hopeless until he had a motor- bike accident in 1990 and was in the hastings hospital for 3 years and came out like Frankenstein - all nuts and metal from all the broken bones and a new rubber tube instead off a penis which was cut off from the accident .- Instead off doing 60 sheep a day he started too do 300/ 400 per day and hung around the main sheep population areas in Hawkes bay province too gat the bigg numbers off sheep/goats/ other that he machine - dagged/ crutched/ shore up till now that Hit about 3 million. He kept hunting the sheep every day from 1993 too get that number .- Last time ahh saw Him was when he blew away a Magpie with a powerfull U.S.A. shotgun because it over- talked my mother on Gwavas B. farm on Highway 50. in 1994 ,- hence why ahh shot upp too hide in Auckland City. and my contact address is as above- Chow - Chow.''
I love your paper bead roller. It must be easy in the wrist
Thank you much. My dad made it for me,Robert’s Pens and more on FB. He hand turns them on a lathe. I do have some extra that he made for me to sell, in fairs and bazaars. I could put them on my website if you would like to see them.
What color should come next?
I gave lots of time. So my daughter chose blue.
