Hello Ange. Once again your showing as it is, real life. We all have to start somewhere. We are all the same, nothing is perfect when we start out. The fun is in the learning and improving. Your experiment turned out beautifully. The yarn was gorgeous and finished gnome super cute. Thankyou for keeping it real.Ixx🌈🌷
Thank you so much for your kind and encouraging words Angela. I hope you are doing well and have been able to have a great week so far, sending you love and woolly Hugs xx
I find videos like this incredibly helpful and even empowering! You knit an adorable gnome from your “beginner” experiment, and it looks fantastic. It feels amazing to know that my yarn doesn’t have to be perfect to make something great like your little gnome!! Thank you for sharing it.
I’m a spinning fiend! I’ve made bunches of yarn and even knit with it! I love spinning my own yarn, but I especially love knitting with it! Thank you for your help and for your lovely encouragement.
Aww thank you I’m so glad you enjoyed it and am also so happy to hear that you are enjoying your spinning wheel and loving working with your handspun. That makes my heart sooo happy 😃 🧡
Great job Ange! Who cares how long it took to get it done.. you did it! Love it!
Aww thank you 🥰
You are keeping me company while I wait for my fourth flight this week. I’ve been to Orlando, Milwaukee back to Orlando and now have a very long wait to get back to Denver. Spent four days with my 90 year old father taking him to a funeral. Working on a half brioche stitch Birthday sweater by Ankestrick.
Aww that is a lot of travelling. I hope your father is doing ok, and that you have had time to rest a bit after all the travelling 🧡
Both yarns turned out lovely, as I'm sure the third one will as well... what a fun project. ❤
Thank you 🥰 I had lots of fun with this little experiment
There are no mistakes💐only different opportunities. Thanks for your video.
That is such a great way to look at things. Thanks Nancy 🥰
Thanks for sharing your interesting experiment, with it's beautiful result. Thanks for being vulnerable, and real.
Enjoyed this video, just as I always enjoy your videos. Keep well!
Thank you so much for your kind words Tracy. I'm so glad you enjoyed the video. Hope you have a great day x
Thanks for sharing and your yarn and gnome turned out excellent. I love to spin, mostly on one of my wheels. I do not have a blending board but have made rolags with my hand cards and I want to try my carder. So many plans. Thanks again.
I also love to make rolags on my hand cards, especially straight from the fleece, they are usually so fluffy and lovely, a totally different rolag to the ones from the blending board. I hope you have lots of fun experimenting with your carder Francine, I will look forward to hearing how you get on. I'm so happy to know that you enjoyed the video. Hope you are able to have a great day, woolly hugs to you xx
Amazing sweater and your mango socks are too🌻🌹💐
Thank you! 😊
Well since I have never done this, it looks perfectly perfect.
Hehe thank you so much 🥰
Beautifully done video! Love your end results. It's not always about how you get there, but rather simply getting there! New subscriber! 💛
Thanks so much! 😊🥰
So pretty!! The 3 ply is beautiful
Thank you! 😊 🥰
Your open, organic, experimental approach to thinking through, then working through a project is what I like to call, cultivating serendipity. I love that.
Thank you so much Dave, I appreciate you watching and taking the time to leave such a kind comment too 🥰
I noticed that as well! I love experimenting, but I’m always worried that it won’t come out well in the videos.
Thank you so much for this video. It is so refreshing to see the journey. I watch a lot of blending videos and they are packed with people that make it look so easy so I am so grateful that you are sharing the learning process. It is really encouraging. Thank you.🙂
You are so welcome Tshenolo. Thank you so much for watching and for taking the time to comment. I’m so glad to know that you found the video helpful 🧡
Hi 👋. I have enjoyed very much. You are as always very talented.
I haven’t touch my wheel in ages and keep saying i must give it another go. Watching you plying, you make it look soo relaxing. Against my stressful fight with the dam thing 🙈🙀🤣🤣🤣.
Your gggnome is adorable 🥰 thanku for your company. Mum is sleeping alot so it is me and the dogs and another battle, trying to refurb the v rusty swing seat lol xx
Aww thank you Pip you are so kind to say that. I think for plying as with spinning it sometimes takes a minute to figure out what tension you need for take up on your wheel which can be a bit faffy but once you've got it right it should hopefully be smooth sailing from there. Hope you win your battle with the swing seat!! Sending woolly hugs to you xx
I absolutely loved this video, thanks so much for sharing ❤
Aww thank you so much for watching and for taking the time to comment too. I’m so glad you enjoyed it 🥰🧡
Thank you so much for explaining what you are going to do, playing the music while working, and then explaining how it went. It helps me to picture what you are doing. I love how you "play" with the process. That's what I do whenever I'm trying something new. Playing is fun and doesn't add stress to the process.
Glad it was helpful Heidi 🧡🧡
Thank you so much! This video is so helpful! I loved seeing the examples at the end comparing the different plying techniques. And it’s so helpful to actually see how the rolags turn out. I just purchased a blending board so I’m going to start my own experiments!
I’m so happy to know that you found the video useful Jennifer. Thank you so much for watching and for also taking the time to leave such a kind comment.
I hope you have lots of fun with your new blending board 😃
Beautiful.
Thanks so much for making this video and especially spinning up fiber from the rolags. I just got a small blending board and and learning how to apply the fiber and your video really helped. I didn't know it would spin differently from different ends of the rolags...
Glad it was helpful, thank you so much for watching and I hope you have lots of fun with your new board 🤞🧡😃
Needing inspiration for my Tour de Fleece (just plodding on with a fingering weight sweater quantity!) and you have provided it. Blending board out tomorrow! Thanks
Aww I hope you have some fun with your board Mary, what a lovely little break it will be from your sweater spins to have a little play with colour and fibre. Hope you have a great day xx
It was wonderful to see from fibre to fabric how the blend knits up! Thank you so much for this :)
You are so welcome! thank you so much for watching and for taking the time to comment too 🥰🧡
I’ve knitted one of her gnomes, and I’m glad to see this video. I’ll remember them when I end up with smaller amounts of yarn as I’m learning to spin.
They’re such fun little projects aren’t they 😊 Thank you so much for watching 🧡
I love how your experiment turned out, I loved seeing the differences in the two yarns and I love it when samples become something fun, rather than just sitting in a box. At the moment I'm loving using hand dyed fibres in my rolags, I enjoy dyeing up different fibres and breaking up the colours and blending them together in different ways. My favourite way is to add some silk and a pinch of sari silk and sparkle to make a subtle tweedy yarn, but I'm also playing with some self striping rolags, similar to yours for Tour de Fleece, as they are fun to spin on the Turkish spindles I have.
Thank you Jan, it is surprising isn't it how a few small choices and changes here and there can make a difference to the yarn. Oh wow it sounds like you have been having so much fun making different blends and playing with colour. I love that there are so many possibilities for us folks who love to work with fibre. Hope you enjoy your self striping spinning with your spindles, that sounds especially joyful to me :D
@@YarnNYarns So far I am! I have about 7 of my 16 self striping rolags spun up, I may not have everything done by the end of Tour de Fleece, but I'm hoping to have most of my singles ready to ply by the end - I tend to spin very fine, so it takes a while!
This is so Cool!
Thank you so very much 🥰🧡
I learned alot from your video! Thsnk you 😊
Glad it was helpful. Thank you so much for watching and for taking the time to comment 😃🥰
This rolags are beautiful! I’m glad I found you! I love making colorful yarn as well. 😊 You’ve got a new subscriber!
Also, have you ever heard of Paradise Fibers? It’s a yarn and fiber store in Spokane, Washington. They have lots of amazing fibers!
Thank you so much for watching and subscribing I really appreciate it. I’ve not heard of paradise I’ll have to check them out 😃🧡
Love your chaotic mess❤🎉😂😂
Thank you ☺️ 🥰🤣
Hi Ange, I hope you're OK xx ❣ 😘
Thankyou so much for sharing this video podcast. I really appreciate you putting out this video. I'm glad you did though. I have a Blending Board, unfortunately I don't make anything that resembles anything, apart from a mess.
Your Rolags and the resulting Yarns and the Gnome are absolutely amazing and beautiful.
Thankyou for doing the Mystery Fibre Club
Happy Spinning Fibre Friend
Take care and stay safe
Lots of love and Big Woolly Hugs Jen xxxx 💕🐏🐏🐈⬛💕❣🫂🫂🫂
Aww thank you Jen. I'm sure your blending board rolags are not as bad as you think, and with a little practise I'd bet they'd be great. I'm so very happy to know that you have been enjoying the fibre club. Hope you have a great day xx
Hi Ange, I hope you're all OK xx 😘 💕
Thankyou so much for the Heart Reply ❤
Sending Heart back to you ❤
Happy Spinning
Take care and stay safe Dearest Fibre Friend
Lots of love and Big Wooly Hugs Jen xxxx 🐏🫂💕💕
Hi Ange, I hope you're having a good day 💗 xx
My Rolags are definitely a Mystery. 🥰
I love the Fibre Club.
Thankyou for your kind reply about my Rolags.
Happy Spinning dear Fibre Friend.
Take care and stay safe.
Lots of love Jen xxxx 💖 🧡💕🧡🐏🐏
Just a thought for the last bit of singles. I think you said there are 2 rolags in it, why not cake again separating them so you can do a 2ply like the hat?
OOh thank you for the great suggestion :D xx
@@YarnNYarns hope it works 🤞
Is the supported spindle easier I’m learning with top whorl not getting far lol
I wouldn’t necessarily say it is easier. It’s a different style of spinning and some people find it hard to get started (especially if they have been using a drop spindle first) but I do have a video back on the channel about how to get started with support spindle spinning 😊
How did you end up plying that third ball?
I tried using a comb/brush on a blending board and all it did was remove the fiber not push it down 😑 and I made sure when no fiber was there that the brush/comb not sure what to call it moved smoothly through the teeth on the board, I'll keep trying later on once prices go down again if they ever do 🤔🙂
The burnishing brush that comes with the Ashford board is designed to smooth the fibres down, if you are brushing using the brush handle end down and brushing from the top to the bottom of the board, when you brush upwards, or flip the burnishing brush upside down it will remove the fibres to clean them of the board. Was that what was happening to your fibre?
Sounds like Jan has shared some great tips for using your brush, so I hope that helps you. Also I've found that if I apply my fibre to the board in thinner layers the brush is more likely to pack them down rather than grab them and pull them off. Hope you continue to play and experiment and find a way that works for you. Good luck xx
@@YarnNYarns I agree thin layers of fibre and sandwich any add ins like Angelina, nepps, or sari silk in between any layers of wool, that way the fibres don't just get stuck in the tines of the board, or drop out when you spin the rolags and everything all drafts more easily together.
I use a 4" wide paint brush to tamp down the fibers on my board. It is a very cheap chip brush and has short bristles. After it is tamped down I brush the fiber down the board to get the fuzzies trapped. Works really well.
