- How to spin chunky soft singles. Suitable for knitting, weaving, crocheting blankets, throws and more.
Yarn is softly spun then felted. This gives you a stable yet soft yarn to work with. A yarn that will "NOT" pill or fall apart!

Super cool! Thank you very much! And I know it's out of topic, but I love your hair and your boots!!! ❤️
The coolest boots! Love'em. Ty for the video.
Wait, what?! I can make my own yarn? That's awesome!
Wow That Was Really Cool I Always Wondered How To Do That Now I Know. THANKS!
Super! Thanks a lot!
FABULOUS! ✌️🙏☺️
Thank you so much for this video! I want to dye since chunky yarn but the prices are insane. So I ordered wool and now try to find a way to make the chunky yarn myself. Now I just need a spinning wheel :D. Maybe the hairloom museum in the next town has one.
I love this lady! Her stunning colourful weaving work on the large loom was extraordinary! BUT please could Ashford do a thick-to-thin roving how to? I'd love to be able to spin something like Colinettes now discountinued Point 5 yarn. I leanrt how to knit with it and I think a knitted scarf with chunky yarn is an ideal first project as it's quick and beautiful and fun.
magnifique^^
Hi Kate! I'd love a video on using the tensioned lazy Kate :)
And your boots are fabulous!
HI, I will add it to the list :-)
hi love your video can you advice me what spinning wheel I need to spin wool from the fleece to the stage that you have it on the video please thanks in advance
Thank you for exellent content. if all ashford spinner are suitable for this?
Kate, podrías indicar como regular la banda de la rueda por favor?? En el video no se ve. Gracias
Can you twist finer yarn on the country spinner too? I'm wanting to do predominantly chunky yarns but want to know if there is scope for finer yarn spinning too.
Sorry I’m late. But where did you get your fiber from?
Hi, how do you felt it to make the wool smooth? Do you just wash it or do you do something else to it after? Thanks
Just washing and agitating in hot water should felt it 👍🏻
awesome!! do you sell this wheel
hola me interesa el precio de la maquinita
Can this be done with cotton?
Fab! are you aiming to slightly felt it in the washing machine?
Yes, you can felt it as much as you like. If it is washed more it will become firmer and more felted, which is great for hard wearing rugs etc. Less washing/felting will result in a softer yarn.
Hi can you recommend how I could spin a 100% cotton ball into a 4mm thickness please, by hand I do not have a machine and it is for a small project
Did you ever get an answer? You could probably use a takli spindle - they’re very inexpensive compared to a wheel.
What brand are those boots? They're amazing.
Eject :-)
Thank you! :o)
I so want to be able to do this and you make it look so easy, but I'm currently on an Ashford traditional wheel with normal bobbin etc... not jumbo. Do you have to have a special wheel to spin super chunky yarn like this? Also is homespun super chunky normally 1 ply?
You can buy a jumbo plying head for the Ashford traditional, but I think if you want something as thick as this you’d need a country spinner-style wheel. The orifice on these wheels is much larger than it is on a “regular” wheel.
This is super helpful thank you! But I'm just wondering, are you felting the yarn in the machine or could I hand wash it for the same result?
It looks like it was felted in the machine. You can felt by hand as well, it will just take longer 😅
Is that it isn’t necessary to ply it?
hi! What is the name of your spinner? I am looking for one
It's the ashford country spinner
Mam. Where can I buy Yarn to spin from? Is this cheaper than buying yarn from the store ? Please comment
If you’re in the US, there are a lot of places to buy online. If you Google “roving for spinning,” “combed top for spinning,” or “batts for spinning,” you’ll find a shop. It’s slightly cheaper than buying real wool yarn from a store, but it’s not cheaper than buying the plastic acrylic yarn that you find at big box stores.
Kate, where did you get those boots? what's the brand name or who makes them? please comment back! I think you are sooo cool. I really like you a lot and I love your hair, I need those boots!
My boots are Eject - my favourite brand :-)
Hello beautiful . Do u sell yarn?
