so cool how you described spinning as a form of stimming! as a neruodivergent person myself I'm excited to try it out!
This is a great, tutorial! I’ve been trying to teach myself how to spin , getting better every time I sit at my wheel. Watching and listening to your instructions has been very helpful. Thank you!
Awesome! Thank you!
Thank you! I am a beginner...just had my first lesson last week. I have a country craftsman wheel and it needed oiling but now seems to be working. I'm still getting used to the machine and today I spun 2 crochet strands together...a blue and a white, so I could see the twist...I'm hoping to start spinning wool soon. This was very helpful. ❤
That's great. You have joined the wonderful world of spinning. It's such a soothing craft and quite addicting. Have fun. ~Shiree
I agree with you ! It is like meditation, I spin and feel so good ! There is something amazing with the spinning!
Indeed. It's a wonderful thing. ~Shiree
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I have wanted to learn how to spin for a minute now. I’ve been knitting for 25 years and in the last 2-3 I have become more and more interested in spinning but have been too nervous to venture into it. Your video is exactly what I needed to understand the process so now I know what I’m looking for in a wheel etc. Thank you again!
You are so welcome! Go for it, you'll love it. ~Shiree
from Gerry- You did a great job teaching. I've been spinning about 16 yrs. and started with a 1 treadle Ashford traditional. Then I found a one treadle Joy which I eventually bought a jumbo flyer for. Only recently have I moved to drop spindles. I still need practice, especially when plying. I have 2 rigid heddle looms too and I've written down your pick-up patterns. Thanks for all you do for the fiber community. God bless.
Thank you for being there. This craft is such a theraputic and joyful thing that I just gotta keep sharing. God bless you too. Happy Easter. ~Shiree
Thanks so much! Great video. I am still a Turkish spindle spinner, but thinking of getting a wheel this year - and actually an Ashford Joy 2 is on my short list! Thanks so much for the very detailed, slow explanations. Super helpful! 🙂
Wonderful. I use my Ashford Joy 2 everyday. I have a video on the wheel too, did you see it? Here's the link: ruclips.net/video/8EgK3OzdU00/видео.html
I demonstrate everything about the wheel. I purchased the Wooly Winder separate and I am so glad I have it. I can get in a good flow state and just keep going. Enjoy your spinning, it's such a soothing activity. ~Shiree
@@rehashfiber thank you so much - I did watch that video as well. So much to ponder. I do find spinning very soothing! Thank you for such great content. 🥰
Just the video I needed. My first spin of a LOT of BFL was very uneven. I think I don't have enough control of spin and drawing it out at the same time. I couldn't bear to throw the yarn away, so I did not ply it and used it to make a garter stitch shawl. I love the shawl (autumn colors and rustic). Now I've bought a LOT of Corriedale and I want to spin it more evenly and knit a sweater. This video shows me that I need to slow way down for more control. Thanks.
Glad it helped! Thanks for watching. ~Shiree
Would love to see a Charkha spinning wheel demonstration such as Ghandi used to spin with for the production of khadi cloth.
Great suggestion!
Great teaching. I'm not a spinner, but I really enjoyed watching your video.
Awesome! Thank you!
Thank you!❤ im just starting out. 🙂
Way to go. Just keep going. Do it bad till you do it good. It's such a soothing and enjoyable hobby. ~Shiree
This is an excellent tutorial - thank you 😊
You’re welcome 😊
Love the way you teach thank you.
Thank you very much. Enjoy spinning. ~Shiree
Very helpful! Going to watch several times. Thank you!
I'm glad. Thanks for the feedback. Good luck and keep with it, you will hours of soothing, peaceful fun. Happy spinning. ~Shiree
You taught me to spin today. :)😊
Sweet. That makes me so happy. Keep going its great fun and "therapy". ~Shiree
This is a great tutorial - you are an excellent teacher. Thank you.
Wow, thanks for your feedback. I appreciate it. Have fun spinning! ~Shiree
Thank you for your video! I have watched a lot of videos and yours hit the nail on the head for me! Finally some things ‘clicked’ and I know what to do (try) to correct my spinning. I have been a crocheter since 1997 and I started learning spinning on an older single treadle castle style wheel (Fricke is the company that made my wheel but they are sadly no longer around). Crocheting is so relaxing but spinning is a whole new level of relaxing! I absolutely L🧶VE spinning and I can’t wait to find my sweet spot and relax and just enjoy spinning while getting a good even end result. Thanks again! Happy spinning!! 🧶
I am so glad you have entered the zen zone of spinning, isn't it the best? Enjoy your life of spinning. ~Shiree
Thank you so much! This was so helpful to watch as I'm learning to spin. My fibre has been snapping (it feels like) constantly. I've gotten some ideas for things to try to get it flowing much more smoothly - thank you!
You're welcome. Keep at it, it is such a fun hobby. You got this!!! Thanks for watching. ~Shiree
Thank you
You're welcome
This was an excellent tutorial! Thank you so much!!!
You are so welcome! ~Shiree
Great video…thank you😊 I’ve been spinning a few years but, as I’m in hospital atm, I thought I’d watch and see if there were any useful nuggets! It was lovely just reminiscing about learning to spin (i am RUclips taught!). I also use a plying bracelet for the left over singles, but I’ve never done that without breaking the yarn off and rejoining it 🤷🏼♀️ (now I’m wondering why I did that!). This was an enjoyable video to watch and your teaching and enthusiasm was spot on. When your plying bracelet popped off, I literally felt my heart lurch!😂 It was great how you showed what to do if that happens! Thank you for this😊🙏
Well I sure appreciate you watching. Spinning is wonderful. Hope you're out of the hospital and recoverd soon. ~Shiree
❤❤thank you I learn a lot! Now I must apply what I learn….😊
Good luck and have fun. ~Shiree
What a great video! Thank you for explaining everything so well!
You're welcome. Enjoy spinning!!! ~Shiree
This video has been so helpful - thank you so very much.
I'm so glad! Thanks for watching. ~Shiree
Your explanation and demonstration of drafting is fantastic and very helpful. I've just picked up my first spinning wheel (a c.1983 Ashford Traditional). The control you have with the wheel movement using the double treadle is great, mine is single treadle and when the wheel stops (and even occasionally goes backwards!) I have to use one hand to get it moving again.
Way to go! You are entering a world of calm joy as spinning is so much fun. Enjoy your wheel and the process. ~Shiree
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.
So inspiring I can't wait to start 🎉
Good luck and have fun. ~Shiree
Thank you, that was a really good tutorial 😊
You’re welcome 😊 Thanks for watching. ~Shiree
Great tutorial!! Thank you!
You are so welcome!
Excellent tutorial
Thank you! Cheers!
Thanks so much for making this really clear video. I have just started spinning. Getting the draw to be quite a challenge. One minute it’s taking the yarn in beautifully and then suddenly it stops doing so without any visible problem. Do you find that you need to expand the springs quite a bit on the brake band? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again.
I'm always adjusting the brake band. You'll get the feel of it, whether its yanking the yarn from you or not taking it quick enough..adjust, adjust, adjust. Keep going, it's so worth it. Happy Spinning. ~Shiree
I am learning and every muscle in my body is in a death grip lol
Oh my, lol. Here's some ways you can get a feel for it and have fun and not worry about wasting good fiber. Get some pencil roving. There's no drafting involved you just learn to hold it, let twist in, and then feed to the bobbin. Another thing is get your hands on a bat of wool or old roving that no one wants, on sale, whatever, and do the same thing. Spin bad and get used to fiber twisting together.
I do believe you've inspired me for this weeks show. I'm going to teach how to spin this stuff and how to get a feel for it. Stay tuned. Thanks for the inspiration and for watching. ~Shiree
Thank you, such a helpful video. I have been drop spindling for about a year and decided to upgrade, mostly so I can ply more easily and just bought my first wheel Ashford Kiwi 3. I have a question. Can i ply straight from my spindles, or should I wind onto a bobbin first? And if I do will it matter that I start plying from the beginning of my singles? Another question sorry! My wheel is hard to spin with the drive belt on (can spin fine without it) will it loosen over time? Thanks so much!
I ply directly from my drop spindles onto the Ashford Joy, and it's always been fine. Can you adjust tension on the drive belt? They do loosen over time, but it shouldn't be hard to spin because of it being new. I am not familiar with the Kiwi, maybe it would be helpful for you to ask the dealer you purchased it from. Best wishes. ~Shiree
Hi I’d love to know what spinner you are using
I'm using the Ashford Joy 2.
Wish you had shown how to join the the ends of the fiber when spinning. I have a problem with keeping the joint even.
Thanks for watching and for the feedback. At some point I may address that in a video.
Where to get it
It's the Ashford Joy 2 spinning wheel. Here's my show on it and where you can get it.
