- I'm using dyed Teeswater wool locks that I got from the Wisconsin Sheep and Wool Festival, and other add-ins to create a stunning textured, art yarn. I want to share my process for designing the yarn and show you how I spin it all up with my Ashford E-spinner 3. Join me, and let's get spinning!

Must admit I was skeptical at first, but after seeing the result, I'm in awe! Your yarn is gorgeous! I can't wait to see what you make with it :)
Thank you so much! It was a fun spin!
Beautiful 😍 I've recently started trying out textured yarns and I love it. It's so different to obsessing over perfect grist and uniformity. I did a dye lot with my mom a couple weekends ago and I used a little bit of that for a spin and did a correspun slub yarn with random beehives and stuff from your beehive video! ❤ I did the core spin, and plied it with an overspun-opposite spun-single with a double auto wrap. One of the autowraps was a tencel thread to give it some integrity and to hold the opposite ply together.!
It made the most beautiful bouncy, lofty, unique yarn I've ever made. It's gorgeous. I made a tunisian crochet scarf out of it for my mom for Christmas. :]
I'm going to do another dye adventure this weekend with her before it gets cold here in West Virginia/Kentucky. I recently purchased a 2 shaft tabletop loom and I'm hoping to learn to weave something decent before Christmas haha. I'd like to make another couple skeins of textured yarn with wool we dye together and weave something for her :]
Thanks for truly being an inspiration and an overall beautiful human being. ❤️ seeing your videos makes me excited to craft. Ever since I started spinning, after watching every video you have to offer 😅, I've started to experience creativity flow and it's like therapy for me. So thank you, again! You're awesome! ❤❤😊🧶🐑
I'm so excited for you! This comment makes my day. I love this community and I'm so happy to hear that you are finding so much inspiration here. Your bouncy lofty yarn sounds fabulous! ✨🧶🔥🥰
That’s beautiful! I would love to see it knit up. I’m very new to spinning and should love to see what types of projects a yarn like that could make!
Beautiful yarn. A cowl would be so squishy and cozy to bury your face and nose in. You are so creative and talented
Oh thank you!
I think that would be lovely in a woven wall hanging. I think the textures would play out so fun.
I'm not usually big on textured yarn like that, but I must say, it turned out gorgeous. I have no clue what I would do with it though. I can't wait to see your finished project for more inspiration!
I would make a vest with it. Like a sherpa vest or something.
I would do nothing with that beautiful yarn
(for a while😉)
.....just enjoy looking at it!❤
That's always an option! 💜
That would make a beautiful cowl. So everyone could see all the colors.
Infinity scarf! Or a hooded capelet.
I would make them the cuff and trim for the hood of a plain unattractive zip up hoodie.
Ok came out beautiful. I would crochet with it too. I do not wear hats, scarves, or shawls much as it is too warm here but I think a scarf would be pretty but I can't wait to see you hat, make sure and post it when you are done.
I will!
Definitely try and find a crochet stitch that focuses heavily on the yarn being used. Probably a simple stitch that doesn't fight the yarn.
It is really pretty! Good luck finding the right pattern for your yarn. Can't wait to see this become something. Other than a yarn you don't use because it is to pretty use. Not that I would wait 5 years before using the yarn I got while out on the OBX North Carolina 😊
Imo, a simple stocking stitch helps to highlight the natural yarn art texture, rather than confuse, as crochet would also be too confusing.. weaving would also be excellent.
Glad you didnt add the other yarn as a ply.. too much going on, at most ply with the sparkle thread.
Yaaay!!! I love when your videos pop up!!
✨🎉🥰🥳
Knit a hat! Or at least the brim band of a hat.
For my tastes, the dark navy plus batts with the sparkle and the pale pink and natural locks go beautifully together. I wouldn't want to add in that pastel sock yarn.
I would use it for the collar, and hem of sleeves of a sweater! Extra warmth around the neck and wrists!
This is beautiful! I just picked up some locks from the MN Renaissance festival because they were so pretty! I am a new spinner and I still have A LOT to learn. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and your thought process ❤
Happy spinning!
It’s fun to hear your thought process. 🎉. I think I’d like a chunky cowl with this fun yarn!
Such pretty yarn ❤ would love to see your finished object 👍
I think this would create a beautiful woven shawl on the triangle loom!
Leave as single without the yarn and no autowrap. I would want that around my neck as a scarf or cowl or shawlette
This was such a fun video! I loved watching your whole creative process, and the finished yarn turned out beautifully. I can't wait to see what you make with it
Crochet fingerless mits!
QUESTION: when you spin your yarn, is there a specific technique with the twist in your plys (s and z twist), that works better between knitting and crocheting with it? I have heard it mentioned a long time ago, and since you make your own, I wanted your thoughts and experience on the subject
This is a great question for my next podcast!
@@JillianEveit also seems to make a difference for left and right handed knitters. I've often struggled with yarn splitting, and it's only since spinning and learning about z and s twists that I understand why!
I have definitely noticed a difference when crocheting.
But I tell you something funny… The other day I wanted to create something with some balls of my handspun yarn (which involved me “un”-plying them and re-plying them into a thicker yarn). I couldn’t understand why this particular ball of yarn wouldn’t “un”-ply 🤔🤔
and then I realised it was an S played yarn!!! 🤣
And there’s another lesson: always label your work 😬
I love making art yarn, and it’s fun to watch other people do it!
Recently I started creating and spinning art yarn for a massive project I’m super excited about. I’m making a circular wall hanging in honor of Hydrocephalus Awareness Month (which was last month, but I started last month!) to tell a story about challenges with Hydrocephalus and learning to be resilient. I was born with Hydrocephalus, but I have been lucky enough to have only had 12 surgeries in my life.
It’s going to be all core spun unless I decide to change something.
Do you have any advice on core spinning? I tend to put too much twist in my yarn.
I love your project idea! If you have too much twist in your core spin, you can spin the core the opposite direction before spinning it the other way to wrap fiber on it. Then you will get less twist over all. Happy spinning!
I would makea cowl. I dont weave, so maybe crochet
I have the same carder but it has been well loved and used and the printing where you feed in the fiber is rubbed off. Could you tell me what the English says?
You have inspired me to spin the huge pickle`jar of multi-colored locks I have!
Thank-you!!!
Whoops, you have Jr., not the large one with the printing. Maybe someone else can tell me.
Knitting a Big fuzzy cowl. Hehehe
Wouldn’t boot toppers be cute with that yarn too
Oh, absolutely!
I'd crochet that, but mostly because I only crochet and tablet weave so far and it looks like a weird candidate for tablet weaving. Though that might be worth learning how to do the triangular loom thing for, a light squooshy shawl is something I could use more than a hat
Yeah, texture doesn't work with tablet weaving. I think this could be a great shawl though!
I say no to the yarn and the tread either way as you have a lot of sparkle but it would hold more also. Now to see what you do 😊.
That is so wonderful, and it might solve a dilemma I have: a friend's favorite colors are orange & purple. I was thinking of a scarf but couldn't figure out how to weave one. Ta-Da! Self striping yarn! I can use natural dyes to get orange with Osage and purples with cochineal--spin it up and she can do as she wishes with it.
That's a great idea!
I loved watching you make this. My hubby wants to buy me a drum carder instead of using hand carders (I think he may be tired of the noise in the evenings) and I have not been sure that it would be worth it for me but that yarn is so beautiful I am almost convinced. Thank you for showing us. It looks so soft and snuggly, I agree with others that a woven cowl or shawl would be fab
Ah! It's amazing!! I think I would knit a scarf or handwarmers 😍 but I think your idea with crocheting a hat is really cool. It would be fun too see it when you're finished. 🥰
I'm hoping I can show it in my next podcast episode!
Love this yarn❤❤❤ I would weave with it❤❤
Very beautiful, I would crochet a cowl with it.
Im not a fan of sparkle personally, but its a beautiful yarn nonetheless! Is that enough for a hat? Or do you have more fiber/locks left over for more yardage? I cant tell but id be scared of not having enough!
I guess we'll find out if it's enough for a hat! 🤞
This is great, I would love to see more videos like this where you go through your thinking and spinning process for textured yarns. I am a weaver and a newbie spinner, so would use yarns like this in weaving.
More to come!
I'd crochet it into a lovely shawl.
The yarn is lovely, reminds me of a summers night with the sun setting. I would make a scarf to remind me of summer❤
Oh lovely 🌅
a woven shawl with that would be amazing!! This was such a lovely spin!! :) I really enjoyed it.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love those colour choices, the skein looks absolutly beautiful. I would make a knitted hat or a cowl.
Thank you! 😊
❤ This is so cool! Thank you for taking us on this creative journey with art yarn. 🎉
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! 💖
Beautiful yarn 😍!! I think a hat would be amazing. It looks so warm and fun. 💚🧶💚
I think so too!
This was fun, I liked how you talked through the ideas on camera.
That's your most beautiful yarn yet. Wow!
Thank you! 😊
I absolutely love the yarn you just made it’s gorgeous, beautiful textured. I wish I could spin as well as you.
I’ve looked all over the Internet and I can’t find anything on your Vlogmas box for 2023. Are you making a box for this year and Please, where can I buy it?
I'm not doing a box this year, but I will have some Vlogmas videos in December. 💜
Thank you so much for answering my question. If you decide to do a box for Easter week or during tour de fleece, that could be fun and you wouldn’t have the pressure of trying to take care of your family while doing such a time consuming job like Vlogmas. I’m sure it’s a labor of love and you do it so well. If you ever decide to do anything else, could I be put on a list of people that want to participate? Thank you for your time. I enjoy all of your videos. You are such a good teacher and I’ve learned a lot. Take care. 😊🙏💜
Dotty
IDK... I was going to say weave with it but it would depend on the yardage. Ooo! Weave it with another yarn in panels to make a shawl? I just got an adjustable rectangle loom. That could be fun!
Oh fun loom! Happy weaving!
@JillianEve Yeah... I'm not sure what I'm going to weave. I'm having yarn commitment issues haha!
i agree with nay on the auto wrap
Gorgeous yarn! I have some locks in my stash and have been putting off using them this was inspiring hank you!
I meant thank you but the hank you did make me laugh 😂.
Wonderful!
Rather odd combo, but it did combine beautifully!
It's fun when it works out in the end so well!
Such pretty yarn🥰
Perfect timing! I just haphazardly spun some locks and love the texture, but now I'm inspired to try some other techniques! ❤🎉 beautiful yarn! 😍 I would weave with it - either a cushion or a scarf with plainer yarn for contrast xxx
This yarn turned out sooo beautiful! It is very you 😊💕
With this yarn I would knit top piece like a sweater, cardigan or shawl, super fabulous!
So beautiful and loved seeing your process for choosing colours etc as the project evolved! Please please 🙏 turn this into a snood, then it can live its life in many forms ❤ scarf, hat-scarf, head band, etc etc… would be perfect for this beauty 🥰🥰🥰
Beautiful!
FWIW, that’s how I defined “art yarn” in my book. Any yarn with intention.
Hi Evie! That turned out really beautiful, I can't wait to see what it looks like after you crochet it. Thank you for mentioning about the Z-twist for crochet. We need to remember that! One of my biggest pet peeves is when I'm crocheting and the yarn is untwisting, so frustrating!
Your yarn turned out so gorgeous! I love it - I just ordered a litter e-spinner! My first spinner of any kind, and I’ve been making rolags and collecting locks- I love ❤️ ❤❤ chunky textured art yarns with a little sparkle added in. I’m so excited! I just dyed some roving and silk roving with onion skin, it is so pretty, I’ll use it with some browns and oranges for some pretty fall colored art yarns. If I had your yarn that you just made, I’d have to use it in a weaving, I think, or crochet into a hat or scarf, or both if there’s enough. Thanks for sharing everything here, I really appreciate hearing your thought process and why or why not you would do something else, like plying or auto wrapping. I wish you were my neighbor ☕️ 🍪 🧶
Just beautiful
Beautiful!!! And the whole process was very cool to watch. A hat is a great idea, a sweater with a cowl neck. Beautiful job!!!
That turned out beautifully! I am wondering if you will be wet finishing this before crocheting?
That's the plan!
Ok thanks! I wasn’t sure about wet finishing singles.
I want to knit a caplet with that yard 👀 just very basic stitches to let the yarn speak for itself. I feel like that would be absolutely beautiful. Very curious what the hat is going to look like though!
That's a great idea!
Nay on auto wrap
That yarn is beautiful! It looks like a galaxy 😍 I would definitely crochet a shawl/wrap with it!
Well first, I would squish and love them! 🥰 then I would probably make a scarf or wrap so I could enjoy cuddling with them. Oh that texture just makes me happy! I wanna touch it. 😂 sounds weird. But true!!
I did enjoy seeing you do this. For me, I would be knitting it into a garment that has many different colours in it .... blocks of colour, so as to highlight this beautiful yarn when its turn came up. Or a shawl perhaps? Thankyou Eveie
So pretty! It reminds me of recycled sari silk yarn. I see it in a knitted shawl project using it as stripes of textured accent on a background of stockinette.
that's a lot like the yarn I'm knitting with right now and I absolutely hate it. It puts splitty yarn into perspective! I have to watch every single stitch or the stupid curls catch and make fake stitches. Ripping back is so bad I wind up throwing away yarn. Yeck. never ever will I ever make or buy a textured yarn. This was given as part of a stash downsizing. Someone else bought or spun this. I like a thick chunky yarn but all this frippery is hell no.
Beautiful yarn, and I enjoyed watching you having so much fun with it 😊
Holy moly that’s spectacular! ❤
Thank you so much! 💜
Oh my goodness it's so gorgeous! I would crocheta cowl, beret. Or legwarmers with it.
Make a scarf!
Absolutely stunning ❤. You made me want to play with curls again, thank you
so helpful! i have a mass of shiny lovely locks and have been holding them for over a year, not really sure what to do with them... now i am feeling the creative vibe for sure :) thanks JE!
Hmm, if I could do any craft with that yarn, I'd probably triangle weave a bandana; a textured plaid seems like fun!
Another beautiful and inspiring spin, Evie. Thank you for sharing. With yarn like that, I might knit it into a scarf - plain stockinette- as the yarn is delish as it is 😊.
I have a question in regards to the hole/ hook bits on your flyer. Did you do anything to it to make them slide along easily? My jumbo flyer ( hook) hole bits are so tight it felt like I was in a thumb fight with it.
Thank you once again for everything. Have a fab day!
Excellent episode! I didn’t know how to add commercial top to a drum carder for blending. So, thanks for that little gem. And the yarn is spectacular! I’m very curious to see what you do with it - i never know what to do with textured yarns - but they’re so yummy. Some day it would be fun to see what auto-spinning with thread is.
I would love to see this yarn woven up on one of those triangle pin looms. I think texture and plaid striping would be so beautiful.
Love the yarn!!! I think it would make a great scarf-crocheted or woven!
from Gerry- I really like how you treated the locks. I don't like it when most of the lock dangles, but yours is just enough texture. I would weave using a weft float pattern to feature this beautiful yarn. Be blessed.
The yarn, color and texture is beautiful. Thank you for showing your process, from beginning to end. I would probably knit a garment or some sort, possibly add it to a woven piece of a bold contrasting color. I really want to learn to spin for so many reasons. An e-spinner is probably the best tool for me. I could really go to town with picking fibers.
I was catching up on some of your recent videos and after seeing your hat, I just had to go back and find out how you made that gorgeous yarn! Thank you so much for sharing the process. I'm new to spinning and looking forward to making some artsy beginner yarn for weaving and crochet. Thanks!!
Wow! Fab result, very celestial 🤩 I’d skein it up and wear it 🤣
I’ve seen some beautiful sweaters knit up in art/textured yarns, and now have been dreaming of doing something like that for myself too. One skein could also make a nice yoke on a sweater (with a more subdued yarn for the rest of the body).
Gorgeous!! The color combo reminds me of those really pretty galaxy photos!!
Such a pretty yarn. A hat or scarf crocheted. A wonderful cozy item either one.😊
I love this yarn so much, and that is saying something because I absolutely detest pink. No, I don't really know why, but this is one of the prettiest yarns I have ever seen!
Thanks. I needed this inspiring moment with you.
I want to crochet an Elsa hat and now I know which yarn to spin, on my diy e spinner with louet art yarn winge with my new buy polmerino wool which has lots of fluff and curls and on with some alpaca and maybe I'll try auto rap, it will be new for me.
Yes i live on Gotland in Sweden
This is absolutely stunning Evie! I’m super new to spinning so I just have one question and that is, do you have to wash to set this yarn or do you only wash to set your plied yarns? Pardon my ignorance, just trying to learn as much as I can. Thank you so much for all you share with us!
It's gorgeous! A narrow scarf knit lengthwise is what I'd think of making with it.
OMG! That is beautiful!
Thank you! 😊
A cowl that could also be worn as a hood. Display all the textures and colors withjust a hint of the sparkle. Thats just me, I'm a novice at crochet so i don't know a whole lot.
This is a really cool color. I wonder what would happen if you made it 2 ply, but 1 ply is the navy and the other ply is the locs. That would look cool knitted 🤔
It looks so fun! I'd do a thin scarf/neck tie/belt to add some fun detail to any outfit with over-sized needles or hook.
Love the combo and how the yarn turned out! How did you finish? Wet set & thwack? Thank you!
I'm not very good at knitting or crochet but I think a broomstick lace shawl would love lovely with that yarn
That is the most Aubergine shade of fiber I have ever seen (in the beginning) it’s like aubergine Aurora borealis ❤🎉😊
It’s gorgeous! I think I would would loom knit a hat with it. 💕
