Months ago I found your channel and watched as many videos as I could to understand the mechanics of spinning. I love how you communicate and explain everything. Now I spin every single day. Thank you for being a part of my fibre art journey ❤
I am learning so much from you already. I am from the UK but we moved to rural Bulgaria a few years ago. I am learning to knit ( for the 1000th time but this time I have it) and I crochet a lot and well. I want to make my own yarn from wool from the sheep and goats that are basically free range with a shepherd in our village. The whole sheep to shawl shebang, dyeing included. I am super interested in all your techniques and I would be interested in seeing felting. You are a good, clear, interesting and enthusiastic teacher. Thank you.😀 Let your kids and animals be in the background, I think, it just sounds like home. Well, mine anyway. Everything here is done in the high decibel ranges. Lol.
Aww, thank you. Yes, I will add that to the list. I'd love to live somewhere like that how beautiful it sounds. It's taken me long enough to learn how to knit, and this time round, I seem to have taken to it, lol. Much love, light, and big hugs xx
Hello, this is the first time I have seen you. At 72, I have bought myself a drop spindle, actually wanted a support spindle. My Welsh grandmother used to do it all, as we lived in Sunderland, in North east England we did not see a lot of her, but watching it was like magic. I will be going through your videos.
Aaaww that's wonderful and thank you, I hope I can help there is a channel called jillian eve and she does lots of spindle spinning and is very good at teaching it im more of a wheel spinner I like looking a drop spindles haha. Welcome to the fiber family much love and light xx
I did a burn test on some of mine and it had the right smell but also melted so erm......i think they diluting it with just enough natural fibre to prevent us from diagnosing the lies 🧐
Hi Sadie darling, I hope you're OK xx ❣️❣️❣️❣️ Thank you so much for sharing this video podcast. I love the bargains you have bought on Temu. The small packets of fibre are usually sold as Needle Felting Wool. Some of it is Merino but mostly it's Acrylic. My Blending Board is quite large and cost me bout £110 that was in 2021, so can imagine that it would cost more now. I love, the Drop Spindle Chris bought you for Christmas it does look pretty. I can't use mine for long before my shoulders and back start hurting, I'm so glad that I have the eWheel 6 to spin on. The motor on my Nano1.1 needs replacing but as I can do everything on the 6 I'm not too bothered, except I do miss using it, but the 6 has large bobbins. Hope you have a Wonderful Weekend 🤗🤗 Happy Blending and Spinning darling Spin Sister Fibre Friend 🎉🛞🥰🛞🥰🐑🥰 Take care and stay safe Lots of love and big hugs to you all Jen xxxx ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️👤👤👤👤👤👤🐈⬛🐈⬛🐈⬛👤👤👤
I'd love an eew 6 I really would but alas I will have to save as I also want a woolie winder lol. Money money money lol . Happy spinning spin sister xx ❤️
@@sadiesspincraft6319 Hi Sadie I hope you're OK xx ❣️❣️❣️ I'd love a woolie wonder too, i think it would have to be imported so I can't afford one either Thankyou so much for the heart ♥️ Sending heart ♥️back to you💖💞 Happy Spinning spin sister Love and hugs Jen xx ❤️❤️❤️❤️👤👤👤👤👤
Good thing the fiber was free. Good fiber is worth the price for the end result. I have two small drop spindles, they have a very long spin time which I love. Each weighs 0. 6 ounces. Spin like a dream and because of the weight, they can spin a very fine lace weight easily. The top is 2 inches across, with pigtail hooks, love those the best as they hold so much better. Nice long dowel too, so I can get quite a bit on them. It's not as fast as my e spinner, but I can put the spindles, and a batch of fiber in a small bag and take it anywhere. I get fidgety when there's nothing to do, you know? Nice video! XOXOfor you, for the crap fiber lol.
Well that was really interesting and totally surprising!!!!!! Yes, I’d love to see the felting needles. I’ve had some excellent ones and some bad ones over the years.
@nz-nz any where from a week to a month depending on what it is wether it's delivered by land, sea or air. And you have to spend £15 to get the shipping xx
Good Job Sadie. ! Blending board bargain ,, swift pretty good . Nice thing about both those items even though workmanship not brilliant though not terrible you can put them right yourself .
Fantastic, don't forget you need a brush unless you already have one it will defo put you on to try something new and to be able to save for something that is more durable, tines wise. Have fun and welcome to the fiber family xx
Me again 😁 I bought the same swift last month and it turns well but the dowels bend towards the centre shortening or dropping the yarn so its frustrating as- ive now glued them in as a fix! Would love to see how you renovate it as just what i was thinking! Also Sadie would you review some of the cashmere , alpaca and mohair yarns please? I got some alpaca but think its acrylic but all reviews are making me swear as theyre 5 star which makes me think they dont know the difference between alpaca and a bin bag! 🤣 Keep up the fab content bug hugs xxx
Thank you Sadie this is helpful! I have noticed their fiber is not animal hair and it’s very chalky and very short because it’s been cut. I don’t like it either. The smaller of the drop spindles would be my choice because the shaft is not so fat. But the fiber is definitely not good. Thank you for the demo on the blending board. I have one to try and now I learned you have to go backwards with the brush. Thanks a lot
Just found your channel today. Thanks for doing this video! I was curious about what you'd picked and tested. I learned a lot. I've been a knitter for years & years, but haven't played with fiber. I'm on a spinning kick lately- watching a ton of videos and that's how I found yours. Have you tried any of the e-spinners from Temu?
Omg that's great thank you, I do hope we can get you spinning as well as you doing your knitting . No I haven't looked yet but I shall see if they have any but my advice for an e spinner check out dreaming robots they are the cheapest out there I have the nano and love it xx
You can’t go wrong with a blending board for that price. 😮 It would be great for anyone on a tight budget that wanted to give it a try before buying a good brand.
He is always about, and so is my daughter, but she is a bit older, and she crochets she joins me on work on a w.i.p Wednesday, so glad you enjoyed it xx
The problem with the fiber is that it's very poor quality. It is not intended for spinning it's intended for felting. Also I think your thin spindle is probably made of maple and the chunky one is probably made of pine (which is lighter weight than the maple.)

Omg that's amazing 👏 that has made me so happy eeekkk. Thank you so much xx

Do a burn test on the fiber to see if it's acrylic.
I forgot about that I shall have to do it outside as my smoke alarms are really sensitive they always go off when I'm cooking. Lmao xxx
I did a burn test on some of mine and it had the right smell but also melted so erm......i think they diluting it with just enough natural fibre to prevent us from diagnosing the lies 🧐
@Ellethink that would not surprise me a blend of wool and acrylic they do that quite often for commercial yarns xx
That blending board is impressive!
For it's price it is but the carding cloth could be better xx

Yes, I’d love to see the felting needles. I’ve had some excellent ones and some bad ones over the years.
Wonderful, thank you so much. I shall get onto that x

How long does it take for you to receive your order Sadie?
And do you have to pay postage???
(From Temu, I mean).
@nz-nz any where from a week to a month depending on what it is wether it's delivered by land, sea or air. And you have to spend £15 to get the shipping xx
I’d love to see more of this type of video
Yay I'm so glad. I shall get adding to my basket lol xx
Good Job Sadie. !
Blending board bargain ,, swift pretty good . Nice thing about both those items even though workmanship not brilliant though not terrible you can put them right yourself .
Thank you. And exactly, it's quite nice wood as well. And very easy fixes xx
Do a burn test on the fiber! You’ll know really fast if it’s acrylic!
Ah yes I forgot about that lol xx
I just put the blending board in my Temu cart , after watching your video
Fantastic, don't forget you need a brush unless you already have one it will defo put you on to try something new and to be able to save for something that is more durable, tines wise. Have fun and welcome to the fiber family xx

Lol of course elle I will get it put in my basket and do a review for you. Eekk I love making things out of stuff. I will show that being done too x
@@sadiesspincraft6319 I just did a happy dance yaaaaay cant wait - in Lady Sadie we trust 😍 huggggs xxx
Ooooo... this should be fun!

I totally agree the fiber is poop lol and I'm so glad I could help xx
pull a little off the sliver of fibre sample and burn it. if it gets sticky it is acrylic
I forgot about that little trick haha x
Just found your channel today. Thanks for doing this video! I was curious about what you'd picked and tested. I learned a lot. I've been a knitter for years & years, but haven't played with fiber. I'm on a spinning kick lately- watching a ton of videos and that's how I found yours. Have you tried any of the e-spinners from Temu?
nevermind! I should've looked at your other videos before asking. Found it!
Omg that's great thank you, I do hope we can get you spinning as well as you doing your knitting . No I haven't looked yet but I shall see if they have any but my advice for an e spinner check out dreaming robots they are the cheapest out there I have the nano and love it xx
You can’t go wrong with a blending board for that price. 😮 It would be great for anyone on a tight budget that wanted to give it a try before buying a good brand.
That was my thoughts exactly xx
Oooo9...an Amish swift. I love mine
My last one I wasn't to keen on but this one seems much better xx
What an excellent public service Sadie😂
Thank you x
Try the burn test with the fibre
I think it's a wool acrylic blend x
It is good hearing child in the background
He is always about, and so is my daughter, but she is a bit older, and she crochets she joins me on work on a w.i.p Wednesday, so glad you enjoyed it xx
How much was the blending board?
£17.07 but I had a coupon. Also, I think without the coupon, it was 23.99 xx
The problem with the fiber is that it's very poor quality. It is not intended for spinning it's intended for felting. Also I think your thin spindle is probably made of maple and the chunky one is probably made of pine (which is lighter weight than the maple.)
Thank you so much for info ☺️ xx
just flip the board with the handle hole down when you brush.
I'm not sure that would work, but I can try it. I have to turn all my brushes on all my equipment, so I've kind of gotten used to it, lol xx
Die zakjes wat een rot geluid dat kraken
yes i agree
