Vlogmas 7 - Spinning Yarn with a Turkish Spindle, and my Linen Dress Update
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 окт 2024
- I'm spinning today's fiber with a Turkish spindle (Kirman) and wrapping the yarn on the arms to create a beautiful turtle. While we spin, we will talk about shoe making and hand spun yarn. Finally, I'll give you an update on the last adjustment I need to make to my linen dress.
Welcome to Vlogmas 2022! For 12 days in December I will open a box of fiber, read a blessing, and share some spinning tips as well as a story while we sit by the fire and spin some yarn. Grab a warm drink, some fiber, and let's get spinning!

The Turkish spindle saved my spinning journey. I started on a bottom whirl with corriedale like *everyone* says you should, I hated it. Tried a top whirl, hated it; was getting ready to just give up the hobby when I found the Turkish. The clouds parted, angels sang and I had the will to keep trying. I've been using a Turkish for 15+ years now. Finally acquired a wheel but still find myself reaching for my angels(yes, I named them after Angels)
I started with the Turkish spindle ,and loved it! I didn’t think the regular ones were going to work for me. I also use support spindles
Glad to see a Turkish spindle featured. I just purchased one recently and I'm struggling to get the hang of it. Watching you zip through a bump of fiber inspires me to keep trying!
I just wanted to say I appreciate all of the effort not only put into these videos, but also the thorough description! I'd never seen Nicole Rudolph and I cannot wait to watch some videos! Thank you Evie, for all that you do!
Looking forward to each of your videos! Love all the historical spins. How about a Neolithic with multiple sticks or changing whorls
Love Nicole Rudolph and all the Costubers. Morgan Donner has a medieval braid video.
Where did the first leader come from... 🤯
I read somewhere that a lot of the more traditional techniques in spinning get replaced by modern ones but they are actually less good/efficient (the example given was a good long draw is getting replaced by short forward, which is making spinners hunch over their Wheels instead of sitting much further away and more relaxed). Maybe using a leader yarn is a similar situation? A modern technique so ubiquitous now we've forgotten there's another way?
We have an old "Mr Roger's Neighborhood" storybook version of the elves and the shoemaker that I remember having read to me as a wee thing. It made me love this story very much🥰
Love from Maine!❤❤
I just looked it up, and in the original German it says there was "Kleidung" ("articles of clothing") hung up in the corner that they hid behind.
I love the blue! It's so very--blue! ;)
Thank you for using a Turkish spindle today--that's my favorite.
Thank you so much for creating this wonderful content. Watching your videos has inspired me to try to learn spinning, and they never fail to make me smile 😊
Oh how lovely to see your dog too! We have had appearances from the cat, but the pooch is adorable. 🥰 And that blue is amazing. It'sy favourite shade of blue - like a vivid cobalt. Fantastic. 🥰🙏🏻
I can adapt the Turkish spindle a lot. With single hands or feet, while walking around, lying on my back, wound around my elbow and fingers, winding upside down..
I loved the cameo of your fur baby. So cute. I recently bought a 3d printed Turkish spindle. I love it.
I'd really like to try a Turkish spindle. I'm really enjoying your vlogmas, loving the mixed content - colour of the fibre, what type of spin and the telling of the tales. It all comes together so well.
I've trained myself to weave in my ends as I go now. I have a crocheted blanket from 5 years ago, that is in use, that never had the ends buried. Smh... I know myself well enough to know that I had to put an end to the foolishness and get on with making things look professional and finished as I go, so all the hard work I put into the pieces will make me proud (instead of sad), like that blanket always does. Hugs!
I love my Turkish spindle, it was the starting point for me I now have a spinning wheel and I love to buy freshly cut wool then process it all the way to my finished yarn...yes I am addicted lol...this is my relaxation happy spinning everyone
also, can we have a chat about geography and spindles? Show us spindles from all over the world, and if the names of the spindles really relate to their geographical origin.
I don't know what I'm more excited about in each video the colour of the wool the type of spin you choose or the story of the video for the day 😄 thank you your videos make my day.
Yours is my favourite vlogmas hands down, it's so special ❤️
"Pretty little naked men!" Hand me some leather! Ha! When I was little, I had a ViewMaster and one of the reels was fairy tales, among which was The Elves and the Shoemaker. I love, love, loved that story, and particularly enjoyed hearing you read it today. Happy spinning!
my great-grandparents used to use these, i really want to learn how to spin on them some day!!
That's it! The secret to sleep! "since he had a good conscience" 🤔 That explains a lot. 🤣
Love the blue! And the Elves and the Shoemaker!
Ooooh this fiber is spinning up so pretty! I love the blue. And you picked one of my favorite stories to read to us today!
I always love a spindle. I don't have a wheel--I decided that for the time being, I want to focus on spindles of various sorts--so I always love seeing different spindle techniques. I also enjoy Nicole Rudolph's videos, especially the shoemaking ones, though I think my favorite series was last year's clothes based on Gonzo's clothes from A Muppet Christmas Carol. :) You know, it never occurred to me before now that the house elves in Harry Potter might be based on the story of The Elves and the Shoemaker? Give them clothes and they're away... And finally, I think your fireplace theme is working. The spins are lovely!
Loved your storytime while watching you spin on that beautiful spindle. I've just finished spinning 300 yards of 100% Targhee and have another full pound plus a little more than 1/2 - 3/4 lbs. in the opened bag, just love Targhee. Not sure yet how I will dye it.
I'm still new to spinning, but I think Turkish spindle is my favorite! Glad to watch it at work here. Also in LOVE with the color of today's fiber!! The blue reminded me of sapphire or lapis lazuli. I was wondering why today's story sounded so familiar before I remembered this was one I heard maaaaany years ago in kindergarten lol. Loved the nostalgia! Can't wait for Vlogmas 8!
I learned to spin using a true Turkish spindle made from rosewood, from Turkey, in 1973 while taking spinning and weaving lessons from Louise Green of Greentree Ranch in Loveland, Colorado. She had her own sheep, a Dorsett-Sufgolk cross, and not only do I still have that spindle almost 50 years later, but I still use it.
Louise insisted that if we learned first learned to spin a consistent yarn in terms of twist and thickness on a spindle, when we decided to move on to a wheel we'd have much better success.
My first wheel was a Columbine and I added an Ashford Kiwi several years ago. I still love to spin with my Turkish spindle, especially with an Icelandic fleece which is double-coated.
Thanks for sharing your Turkish spindling...more folks need to give them a try.
That blue 😍🙌 gorgeous. Your fireside colors are looking awesome.
I have a couple of Snyder Turkish spindles and absolutely love them. One of them is a really lil guy (15g hehe), which I find easier to use when I'm spinning lace weight. I figure a more skilled spindle spinner may have honed techniques to overcome the weight of a heavier spindle, but for those particular spins, I went for path of least resistance ahaha.
I got my first Turkish Drop spindle, but I thought it was a small or medium 🤔 size. It's a 6 inch, weight 5ogm ( 1 1/2 oz). I am guessing it is a good one for a starter size 😀. I liked this times story. The funny 😁 thing is I made puppets for a small show. The story my mother has it the hidden behind clokes. My elfs couldn't be naked so I dressed them in leafs. I really like that blue 💙 color too.
I LOVE that blue!!!
I also like watching all the historical costubers.
And your dress looks good! If you tried it on, I bet some of us could maybe help with the fit??? Taking up at the shoulders might help.
Each time I learn of a different way to spin, gives me a thrill. Sometimes I wonder how excited the first person to learn to twist fiber & make it stronger must have been, when they discovered it. Thank you for showing all the different ways to produce fibers, yarn, fabric and clothing. It makes me grateful to all those people that have gone before, making it so easy to get cloths today. Thank you for keeping these arts alive today.
Thank you for your insights in the effects of spindles (shape/weight/...) on the resulting yarn. Having only just started spinning myself, I wondered about that, so it's great to get that information from someone with your experience.
Also daaaaang that blue is gorgeous!!
Such a pretty blue colour. Thanks for showing the Turkish spindle. Very enjoyable Vlogmas🙂
A Turkish spindle was the first spindle I ever owned. I still have it, even though I’ve found I prefer more medieval-style spindles (love me that fine, high twist yarn). A perfectly wound cop is a beautiful sight and I occasionally go back and spin with it just for that.
That blue yarn is coming along beautifully! The funny thing is, I've never spun with a leader. I'm very new. I only have a spindle. And when I first looked at videos of spindle spinning, some used leaders, but some did not. I just figured why make extra steps for myself!
I love watching you spin anything, but my current (and enduring) obsession is with Great Wheels. I'm currently wondering if I could build one on a wall like some weird Meccano art. My other constant question is how to work backwards from a desired knitting effect to the yarn one must create for it, therefore the composition of the batt/rolag/fleece artwork. Long may you create these extremely informative videos!
I have been struggling with severe CPTSD and anxiety. I was in a brutal funk and just had no spark. And then one of your videos popped on…I was laughing and I felt safe it was a really good vibe. I since have binged most of your content and I have even ordered a drop spindle 😃 I am so excited to feel excited again. Thank you 😊 If you have ever doubted it this is absolutely your destiny.
I'm loving my Snyder Turkish spindle as I start my spinning journey. Making the pretty turtle is half the fun! One thing I've wondered, though, is how to wrap it on the bottom - do you build out towards the ends of the cross legs, or do you wrap it by stacking further and further under (not so far from the spindle)? Love that deep, saturated blue and the paler parts of the yarn that it's making!
I'm so curious about Turkish spindles! Maybe I'll ask for one for Christmas! ☺️
I had been a wheel spinner for 20+ years ago decided I wanted to learn to spindle spin so I could take my spinning with me. I started with a top whorl and just couldn’t get it and almost gave up. On a whim I bought Snyder Turkish Spindle and it saved the day! Now I love to spindle spin and am now excited to try to make a leader out of the fiber! Thank you for always showing us techniques!!
The blue is amazing, and I love spinning on the Turkish style spindle, but I often have trouble winding the cop.. .yours came out so nice.... thank you for the inspiration.
Great video! I’m 82 years old and my husband has passed so I have lots of extra time now . I spin, knit, crochet and weave. I’m usually doing something all of the time with fiber. I have a wheel but use my Turkish spindle the most as it is so relaxing. Keep up the good work as I sure look forward to watching.
I’m new to spinning and I always learn something new when I watch you. Thank you. Btw I’m hoping to get a Turkish spindle for Christmas!
I love the demo and story in front of the fireplace! That blue fiber is spectacular! Your vlogmas has inspired me to finish the fiber advent from last year that I got from you, life got in way . Thank you for posting the 2021 vlogmas so I can pick up where I left off.❤
No, I very definitely don't have a whole pile of unfinished stuff, whatever do you mean. Cough.
Re: the spindles, I think it's more logical to think that people would have gradually engineered their spindles to fit the kind of yarn they want rather than the other way around? Like, streamline the process and equipment so that the kind spin they want most often becomes faster, less tiring, less thought-consuming, taking into account the fibers they use etc. But that's just my thought lol.
I loved the comments and ideas your views have! But to expand on one: a Walking Wheel? I think if you owned one we'd have seen it by now, but think about this scenario; a museum near you owns one but it's not working. What if you and the Wheel Daddy offered to fix it in return for a filmed session of you using it!! If I were a museum official I'd jump at the chance. What do you think?
What a very vibrant, rich collour💙 beautiful dyed. I wish to have all the equipment, but it will come with time after finishing studies. Turkish spindles do look so pretty✨ On a market I had a really tiny one in my hands, which the seller said it was for really thin yarns. But when you get the hang of it, I feel like you can make whatever you want. Happy spinning🎄
Nicole’s videos almost make me want to learn shoe making. Luckily, the fact that it requires so much specialized equipment has stopped me from actually adding another hobby to my life. I have too many hobbies.
Your videos are fantastic. I have been knitting, crocheting, naalbinding, etc for a while and finally made the jump back up the stream to spinning. I've learned a lot from watching your videos so far. I would love to see some quill spinning. I purchased a vintage penguin quill wheel and had to get some pointers from other videos, but would love it if you'd give some tips.
I’m so behind on the spins 😅
But I’ve been busy making amigurumi dolls for my nieces for Christmas… hopefully I’ll be done soon and can spin again. The targhee squish makes me so happy ❤

finally, I finished the socks for my husband that I started last year's vlogmas. Your videos are great knitting company.
My favorite spindle is a French Pillar spindle or any in hand spindle. Really intrigued by Turkish spindles though, is there a best size to do a sport size 3 ply with? Or a recommendation for where to get a Turkish spindle?
Love the sewing. I’m knitting away on some Christmas gift socks. As usual, I’m a bit behind, having nearly completed sock one of gift one only to decide the yarn choice was all wrong. We spend too much precious time not to get it right. I love the dress pattern.
I am so inspired by your spin yarn. Today's story is my favorite childhood story! Enjoying each vlog. Thank you so much.
I like the design of the Turkish spindle and the beautiful fibre colour that you are spinning! I am enjoying your Vlogmas !
I love watching Nicole make shoes. Yet another thing I want to try!!
I get gaping like that in my flannel housedresses, I think cause I keep cutting the necks too wide, but my solution is simple, i make a "dart" with a safety pin when it gets on my nerves. I haven't made it permanent because plaid and felled seams and I dunwanna, I think a narrower neckline solved the problem by the time I made one out of linen, when a dart wouldn't have looked bad anyways... mine are all medieval style rectangles and gores with armpit gussets, and even though I never get those right the first time, they're my secret weapon when I don't have enough fabric for sufficient ease around the bust! Also worked for a friend whose problem wasn't bust...
This makes me want a Turkish spindle so badly now!
Watching you is getting expensive. Lol, I keep wanting everything I see you spin, weave and work with!
You tell these tales well. Someone may have already commented, though I don't see it, but 'bedclothes' refer to the hangings (and coverlets) on the bed. Most beds had 'curtains' around them for warmth for the sleepers, and also beautified an essential (and expensive) piece of furniture.
I have just gotten my first Turkish spindle and I'm still learning how to use it. I've thoroughly enjoyed the 2022 vlogmas
I have zero interest in spinning. I came across this channel by chance, and then was magically drawn to the lovely personality, imagery and story-telling. I like to knit to your videos. Maybe one day, I will pick up a spindle, who knows.
The Turkish spindle is on my list to buy! I just got a Scottish dealgan spindle but haven't had a chance to try it out. I would love to see a video from you about spinning with a dealgan. It's just as unique looking as the cross armed Turkish.
Really exciting projects 🤩
I'm happy to follow through
Thanks for showing us a different kind of spindle! I'm loving this video series, always learning new things! I thought what you said about Nicole Rudolph's video was super interesting - have you thought about doing a reaction video or a collaboration? I watch a lot of the historical sewists and personal would love to see that! For your dress, i think taking up the shoulder just at the neck can help, but my guess would be that you should do a full bust adjustment to the pattern in the future.
Evie, you had an opportunity to say "We're scraping the bits off the carder" when referencing hitting the second layer in the box XD
I have to say, I'm loving targhee a little more each time I spin it. It's not the merino I'm used to or often gravitate towards, but it's been nice to try it out as well as the other fibers (yes, even the lumps of coal) I wouldn't reach for without a recommendation.
As a beginning spinner, I’ve had the most success with the Turkish spindles. I usually avoid a separate leader by tucking a bit of fluff in the cross-arms and begin spinning from there
Targhee is wonderful soft wool! I ordered some bargain targhee “open top “… oops. So soft, but the top was chopped into small pieces and it’s crazy to spin. But never fear- it spins up into soft lumpy yarn that’s perfect for gnome beards!
Love your dog. The dress is coming along nicely really. The blue is really pretty. I love the color blue. All the colors are pretty. You did such a wonderful job coloring them.
Shopping currently looking for a lovely Turkish spindle. Loved the blue!
I continue to learn from each and everyone of your videos. Thank you for your excellent instructional videos. I was hooked from the very beginning, of learning to spin.
I love you said no need for a lead. Lol I just couldn’t get yarn attached to my lead when starting my drop spindle so i started spinning and made my own. At least I did that accurately 😂 your dress is adorable and looks so comfy. You are so talented and busy busy! Thank you for sharing ❤ Vlogmas
Love Turkish spindles. ❤️❤️❤️❤️ I ordered one from Snyder spindles because of you, and I also ordered a 3d printed one, and those are so convenient, they fold up and you can remove the little weights on the ends of the arms after you start getting quite a bit of yarn on it 😍
Ohhh this fiber is stunning!!! One of these days im gonna have to try a Turkish spindle! Its so satisfying to see it wrapped.
I hadn’t heard that story in a long time! That brought back some memories!! Thank ya for another amazing video.
I’m spinning on a Turkish spindle today too. Thank you for showing the proper winding procedure! I’d been winding a straight over/under and switching over one when it got too full on one set of legs. Now it stays balanced on its own. ❤
One of my very first spindles was a nice handmade that spins wonderfully … I liked that I had a plying ball when I was done … but after seeing your video on plying from a center pull ball I realized that this might not be a good thing .. so I’ve been using my other spindles …. I did like your explanation of layering the cop to make it look pretty …
I love the colour of today’s yarn - it led to an Etsy rabbit hole of looking at Turkish spindles (I keep looking at Ian Tait’s spindles and the teeny tiny Turkish definitely needs to come and live with me).
I’ve been enjoying binge watching your vlogmas series on the tv the last two days and after hearing your story about the shoemaker I had to pull out my phone to leave a comment. The story brought me back to my childhood and my blue book of the Treasury of Virtues. I had saved up my book money to buy it and I had absolutely adored it with its puffy hard cover and gold foil. I literally read it till it fell apart. Thank you for taking me back to such lovely memories 💕
We were deciding between a russian spindle and bowl vs a set of cross arm spindles. We finally found a set we like! It's not the ultimate of what we want (to picky lol) but we are happy with the choice. We do look forward to the day we can get a cross arm one though, maybe for our birthday in 6 months lol.
The blue colour is wonderful, I'd love to see the finished ply skein. If the neckline was cut on the biases it could have stretched a little. Did you put any "stay stitching" just inside the seam line to prevent the curve from stretching?
I really like your choice of story for the video. I've always liked this one when my mother would tell it to my siblings and I. Thank you for the videos you make ☺️ I learn so much by looking at you spin.
I love your videos, they've taught me a lot about spinning and my yarn has absolutely gotten better for it. I recently started using a Turkish spindle, so I appreciate you making this video
That fiber looks like the softest cloud, I’d want to smoosh my face into it! That color is rich and beautiful too. Watching you glide while using a spindle is peaceful and inspiring!
It is possible that you have slightly stretched the weave of the fabric whilst sewing the neck edge. That will give you the loose problem you have encountered. I noticed the back neck edge also had some stretched area near the shoulder seam. Curved edges are biased in places and stretch very easily. Sewing a basting thread around the curve, then making sure the fabric is flat before piecing together will help with these issues. Good luck.
I love that blue color. The dress looks like it's going to be great too. I'm going to check that book it came from out. I've been watching Nicole Rudolph too, I would like to make shoes but I don't really have the hand strength for it.
I'm gonna buy an upgrade for my nano in the new year. Your dress is coming along nicely. Could you do a darts at the bust to help the gape? i am very new to sewing. Your yarns are just stunning they will make a lovely fireside shawl or tank top xxx
I’m an entirely self taught spinner, my mom (who is not crafty) bought me a drop spindle and some wool when I was seven and I kind of just figured it out after watching some women at the fair. No one ever told me I needed a leader, so 23 years later I still don’t use one.
I am sure I once saw a southwest style floor spindle in the background. That would make a nice spindle to use. Also, as to what can be spun on any given spindle, a lot of spinners will look at something, and, regardless of the tool they own think, "I can do that," and they will.
The Spins look so good, if the shoulder seems don’t correct the gap in the front could you possibly pleat once on either side, to the inside or outside (of the pleat) or gather with an embroidered look ?
Just a suggestion, unless you needed a specific look.
Thank you.
I'd love to talk about language and yarn/wool/fiber processing. Its only historical in a wider sense, but why not
I love spinning on Turkish spindles….making a pretty turtle always feels amazing!
I started spinning with a drop spindle and then got a turkish spindle. I have enjoyed both but find myself wanting a more instant gratification yarn.☺
Thank you, for sharing your love of fiber. You are an amazing teacher and encourager. The cross arm spindle is going to be my next challenge.
I have sheep as pasture pets and originally was curious about what I could do with their floof when I sheared them in the spring. Since finding your channel I have been dragged down the rabbit hole of fibre arts and want to learn and try all of the things! Thank you for being kind, knowledgeable and a great teacher!
I am so happy to see all the different ways to spin, I always thought you would spin on a wheel or a spindle, purist way. I am going to go back to my spindles. Wonder if you are a knitted neckline to your dress to pull in the neckline. I have use my ribbed fabric to my linen dresses before when they gape a bit.
Every time I sew something it seems to go a wry. So I truly admire any who have the artistry to take fabric and turn it in to a garment that is just lovely. Thank you again for the wonderful fireside story. You really have inspired me to break in to my spinning stash and give it a whorl (pardon the pun)
I'm at a friend's dog sitting and brought my kiwi spinning wheel just sitting here spinning and listening to the story. I had forgotten about the shoemaker and the elves. Thank you a nice reminder.
Im so pleased to come across you channel. Thank you so very much for all the time and attention it takes to create quality content. I throughly enjoyed every moment spent with you today.
A few months ago I was gifted a bit of raw wool at a fiber fest and am slowly working thru the process of turning it in a pair of socks. So far Iv washed, dried and picked, next it carding.
I absolutely love Nicole Rudolph's channel. Also loving your dress, can't wait to see how it turns out!
I love the deep blue tone you got up to at the end. Gorgeous 💗
I have not yet had the opportunity to start spinning but have been watching your videos to learn.
I love the way the Turkish spindle can be wound on compared with the other drop spindles. For me it seems more user friendly.
Thank you for all of your time teaching us.
Love the blue colour and would enjoy seeing the dyeing process. Congrats on the dress. You could just make a pleat in the middle at the front or one on each side. Love you sharing you creativity.
How funny, I just got a new Turkish spindle and I spun a singles yarn on it using a leader but I removed it and to ply it with the same spindle and I realized I could just start it the way you showed and it blew my mind haha, and now I am watching this video later the same day 😂 such a coincidence
