It's *amazing* just how a simple technique like this can produce a fabric that looks so elaborate!

What a wonderful idea

No hem stitch on the end of piece!

thank you also for showing how to neatly tuck in!

thank you. Very helpful.

Thank you for sharing this post as it is extremely informative. Where I am from (Northern Canada) using dog fibre to make clothing, lining or accessories is not unusual. I have been collecting and storing the fibre from my five dogs (Maremmas and a Suberian Husky) since 2011. Now I am finally in the position where I can actually do something with it. Four of them have since passed; it will be interesting to see what I can make from their gifts.

What kind of spinning wheel did you use?

I just came across your video while trying to learn how to use my niddy noddy. Thank you for going slow while using it. I tried another video but she went so fast I couldn't keep up. You are a great teacher.

How cool to know the background of each special fiber gift! -Tami

from Gerry- How wonderful that your daughter got to go to Iceland! Your gifts are fabulous. Blessings.

Would love to see a Charkha spinning wheel demonstration such as Ghandi used to spin with for the production of khadi cloth.

How much did you pay for those? I have a similar set I need to sell and am trying to figure out a fair price

Why did you put the spun cotton out? And for how long?

Great video can you let us know what type of machine that is and how we can acquire one

Hi ! I have the same e spinner and have a struggle with the tension when plying … I find I have to hold on to the yarn being plied ( outside of the spinner) and my hand even shakes while keeping hold of the yarn … the problem is I can’t reduce the tension it is already completely loose… I hope you understand.. the spring has no tension and it still pulls too much … I end up with yarn not enough plied … any idea what to do ? Thanks 🙏

I thought I saw a book that you recommended but can't find it again. Could you tell me the title of it, please.

so did you find in wearing it, that you prefer the feel over other soft fibers (cashmere, angora, etc)?

Hi! Do I put the finished piece on the mat and felt the ends into the final piece instead of weaving in ends? Will it leave my final piece with felted spots?

I LOVE colorful things! This is a happy, beautiful rug! Thank you for sharing. 😊-Tami

I received that magazine and was inspired too. Kinda thought I would do the same thing but weave it. Thanks for your video.

from Gerry- Your rug looks great. I have a lot of left over dyed roving that I could use in this way. Thanks for the inspiration. God bless.

Thanks so much! You are a natural teacher. I think I can do it! Thank you for all the tips and good videography. I love your beautiful yarn. The finished product is gorgeous. Thank you, too, for NOT using music--it makes it harder to follow.

Went to the website pattern not there

Hi! I enjoyed this very much!

from Gerry- Your bag looks fabulous! Lining is a must on a fiber bag unless it is felted. God bless.

I know what you mean about missing it. My husband had a health emergency last week, and I haven’t done anything creative since then. I may just sit down and film me spinning just to be able to create something and put it out there.

I love this! Your punis were so lovely and fluffy. I totally agree that it's better to keep them lighter and fluffier than dense, especially with a more textured fiber. With a very smooth, machine processed cotton, if I turn it into dense punis it spins very nice, but with anything more "rustic" I get better control with more air in the fibers. This was three years ago? Are you drowning in cotton yet? I can't believe how prolific just nice plants were!

This is exactly what we were looking for. We ve been collecting our cats fur in a jar. Can we wash it?

Absolutely beautiful sweater👍💝🥰 So well done🙏💝

from Gerry- You are very good at sewing the pieces together. It looks fabulous! You need to write with an archival pen. It will not bleed or wear off. God bless.

Can you please explain what type of increase you use when increasing the stitches of the ears? Is this M1L and M1R?

Happy to have found your video! I just cast this on two days ago. Question about the increases: where the chart indicates a right listed increase followed immediately by a left lifted increase, do you first knit the stitch from where your right lifted increase originated before doing the left lifted increase? Thanks!

so cool how you described spinning as a form of stimming! as a neruodivergent person myself I'm excited to try it out!

Thanks a lot Furat from Iraq

❤❤ from Thailand

Simplistic…Beautiful… Where’s mine?! 👀 😂

This video was a lifesaver ❤hahaha 🧶 It really is one of the best. Thanks for not putting in music. Music can be distracting.

I learned a lot

From Gerry- This couldn't be more simple. Thanks for sharing. God bless

thank you. this is an excellent presentation. ❤❤

Gorgeous poncho!! ❤-Tami

Hi! I am hoping for my daughter and I to learn to do this! How do you prepare the plies to make the 2-ply? Also, can you please tell me what that music clip is when you show the finished yarn? I’m trying to play it on the piano, and am getting some of the notes, but not all. I’d like to look up the music! Hehe Thanks! ☺️

I'm so excited for THIS YEAR!

I am looking for someone who has had experience with willow fibre. I know it is used for cordage but can it be made fine enough and spun?

Heading to pt 2 😊👍

That was absolutely amazing!

from Gerry- Very good advice about the projects we do. Your hat is adorable. I also bought the kitchner stitch at MD S&W. God bless.

I have wanted to learn to spin for a number of years now but even after watching a ton of videos I’m still not sure what wheel to go for to learn on , I also want to spin mostly art yarn . Would the Joy 2 be a good beginner’s wheel and I think you are saying I would need to purchase a different flyer ? Would you mind advising me ?

Thanks for walking us all the way through to the end. Do you have any advice for blending together the yarn from multiple small bobbins (like from an E-spinner) when moving to the niddy noddy?

Ooo your orifice changed when you did the 4ply I’ve never seen that ring before now I need to look it up
