So many videos on RUclips seem to assume that everybody already knows these steps and they are missed out on spinning for beginners content. Very informative and helpful. Thanks from 🇬🇧🙂
I love being considered “part of the flock”! And I love your humor. Your instructions are so clear and that you provide options. This is a whole new expertise I never realized before.
I'm a real beginner and articles I've read about how to set yarns etc are completey mind boggling but your vid is so informative and useful, its all become clear...now just need to do it!! Huge thank you
I loved the video. I have my first hank drying right now. It is pretty sad looking but I hope to improve with practice. My rolags are small. I filled two drop spindles, wrapped them on a Niddy-Noddy (from Fiber Art Supply Company.) I counted 14 strands, but I think that was probably too few. But I'm encouraged by your teaching to do more. My fleece was free, I skirted and washed, dried and carded it myself. There is a joy in the doing. I don't know how to knit or crochet- so I have a lot to learn at 75 yrs of age. But thank you Linda.
another no cost way to wind a skein with no tools is with your body. I grab the end of the yarn in one hand, put that arm out straight and lock the elbow, and then I wind the yarn between that hand and the back of my neck. it comes out around a yard and half which is nice and I've never felt like I wanted another tool
This video is just what I needed. Just spun my first yarn. Made it into a 2-ply. Now I want to knit it. So....into the water. Thank you for breaking down the steps.
Extremely helpful, thank you! I find it funny with the arguments after the wash- I took a beginner's spinning class and the instructor didn't tell us about thwapping (that I recall) and DID use a weight 😂 also no rotation of yarn during the drying process. I can just imagine the arguments about which technique to use have caused!
Thank you so much for your video! I've been learning how to spin but I couldn't find a video on how to prep the yarn for use. This was extremely helpful. You're a great teacher!
Huh. I never thought about any of this! I just used my handspun to nalbind a bag. It probably won't suffer from the lack of washing, though, because I'm planning to felt it a little anyways. The things you learn....
I have learned a lot. Your videos are wonderful. It seems you have not made any in the last two years. I hope all is well and I would love to hear from you now even to just let us know how you are.
Thank you so much for the kind words! I'm glad you found them useful. Life has just been a little hectic lately, but I do mean to start making more videos at some point!
Watching these videos really appreciate spinners and the process they go through to supply yarn. I love knits as it is and you made my love increase. Great video!😀
I am really enjoying your videos, I think it would be wonderful to sit and spin with you , this is a new craft for me (only a couple of months) and I am loving it. Was thrilled to see your gorgeous little tea cosy made with your first spun yarn , your spinning now which produces lovely consistent yarn proves that with practise and determination it is possible . Did you use a pattern for the cosy or make it up?. When you were winding your yarn into a cake I saw all the tools you have and would love to see a video where you talk about each one's purpose. I was interested to hear you mention you have a rigid heddle loom, I bought an Ashford 16 inch and am using my practise spun yarns on that. Rather than have them piling up it it is very satisfying to produce something "arty". Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge, you are great company for me while I work at improving my skills.
Thank you so much for watching! I'm so excited to hear you're loving spinninh. It's such a joyful craft.. Hang tight for next Monday's video. It's all about tools for spinning! (And there will be weaving videos in the future.) I'm glad you're using your yarn! Yay for textured woven stuff. It's always so fun. I used a pattern for the cosy. I was trying to find something for less than 150 yards and saw that on Ravelry. Thank you for the kind words and I'm glad you're part of the Flock!
This is awesome! I love the helpful hints of what others do and what you prefer. Your enthusiasm and love for spinning really shows in your videos. I hope to be able to spin like you someday soon. I am thrilled to find that we live so close to each other. Maybe someday we can meet! ❤
Just discovered your videos on wool/sheep recently and I love em. They are very informative. My fiancee and I are very excited to start doing this ourselves. Thank you and keep up the great work.
Fabulous information! Very new to hand spinning (using a spindle); this information was key for seeing how I can use tools I already have (Amish swift) to finish my yarn 😉!
I stumbled upon your channel today and I am excited to watch the rest of your videos. I crochet and knit but am hoping to teach myself how to spin on my double treadle lendrum wheel this winter.
Thanks so much! I'm glad you're enjoying the videos!! FYI, I will be launching a beginning spinning course in January. If you go to my website at landing.windyoaksfarmpa.com/k7k5g4 you can get a free Spinner's Notebook with lots of helpful info and sign up for my newsletter so you'll know when the classes are open. ❤
I just came across your video and absolutely love it! I was looking to see whether it is necessary to ply wool after spinning in order to knit it. Your video is so clear and entertaining at the same time - like being in te room with you while learning! Many thanks indeed!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it! You're quite welcome. :) You can knit with singles. Just do a gauge swatch first so you can see how the twist will affect your finished piece. :)
My first hank is drying right now. It is not pretty. I had drop spun two spindle full and only had 14 strands on the Niddy Noddy (from Fiber Art Supply Co.) My carded rolags are very fluffy, but small. When I spin them, I am constantly splicing them and then get lumps. I need to do better. But thank you for your excellent teaching and encouragement.
Good i formative video. This was a lot of the stuff you have no idea you need to do when you first start to spin. It was nice to see it all in one video, going from bobbin to finished ball ready to knit. Gave a good chronological instruction of how to go about it.
Thank you! This was such a clear, informative video! I learned a lot! I have only knit yarns that I've purchased but someday I'd love to spin my own. I'm guessing that my favorite part would be the soak and dry part as I'd get to see how that changes the way the fibers behave.
Thank you for this video lesson, it will be very useful to me. I hope to watch some more of your videos and trying all these techniques. I'm not that young any more but I have a few Eeyores too.
@LindaOfWindyOaks Well, in hopes you do...I just subscribed and hit the bell notification. I really enjoyed your podcast and could use help on my spinning embarkment. Praying blessing over you, Linda!
Thank you. Very clear and informative video. I’ve now thwacked my first skein and hung it to dry. Looks a lot like your first yarn only more uneven but I love it, too. Now what to make, beanies are my go to but may come up a bit short. Greetings from rural NSW, Australia. 🐑🦙🦘
@@LindaOfWindyOaks Hi Linda, Everything 🤣 I would like a video on how to choose a good fleece. How different breeds spin up, which one’s that might cause problems. I suppose really videos from fleece to fibre and all the bits in between 😀 Cherry 🇬🇧
I’m here from Start Up Society! Ohhh, you’ve taken me down memory lane! We had sheep over twenty years ago. I still have my little spinning wheel, niddy-noddy and bags of roving and raw wool from our own sheep (one of which I bottle fed!). Do you know if my roving is still fine to use after all these years? In the past someone suggested it should be re-oiled. Is that true? Excellent video. So glad to “meet” you 🙂. Blessings!
Hi! So glad to meet you, too. Your roving may be usable - it's hard to say without looking at it. It may be a little tender (breakable), but it may be just fine I'd pull off a chunk and see what it feels like. Is it soft or hard? When you take a bit between your fingers and pull, does it snap or break? Or is it nice and strong? If it's really dry, you can spritz it with spinning milk (there are several recipes you can find through Google) to help keep it from frizzing while you spin. Let me know how it goes!
I just joined the flock! Thanks for these videos. I have been spinning for about five or six years. I had lessons, but my teacher wasn’t able to answer very many of my questions, so I’ve had to watch lots of RUclips videos. Do you have any videos that focus on treadling? I that’s one of my challenges.
That, hank is a “knot” . A skein is 8 knots. But nobody seems to call them that. The main reason to wet the yarn after spinning is to set the twist. My old info never mentioned thwacking, Or Snapping, and I had done a research paper on it!
That's so cool you did a research paper on it. I don't even remember where I learned thwacking. And the bit about the difference between a hank and a skein is fascinating!! Thanks for sharing!
In Yarnitecture, she was on Fruity Knitting, too, she explains what thwacking and snapping do, and more. Basically, thwacking semi-felts the yarn, making it stronger and snapping evens out the spin across the whole skein.
"Stumbled" upon your channel and have been sort of binge watching. I've been spinning for a while now, but have picked up a number of tips/info that will definitely help me improve my spinning. I mostly use a Hansen e-spinner (age and back issues) as well as occasionally a Turkish and Royal Hare spindles. How about a video on how to figure out how much fiber to buy to produce a certain amount of yardage for a specific project you have in mind.
Hello! Thank you for this great video! I looked on Etsy and I am not finding a skein winder that attaches to a table. Could you possibly link to the one you are using? :-)
Glad you found the video handy! I bought the swift from TheKnitStore on Etsy. Here's the link! www.etsy.com/listing/492919652/yarn-swift-with-ball-bearing-base-made?ref=shop_home_active_10&frs=1&crt=1
I wish the camera was more on the fiber. For example I could not see it in the sink. So maybe tilt your camera more on the fiber and less on yourself. With that said I did enjoy the video and gained a lot of knowledge in the process. Thanks
I’m loving your spinning content but I’m really curious as to how you went about making your dress form. I’d love some help with making mine fit my body correctly.
Lots and lots of padding. 😜 I'll do a video of that in the near future! I really need to finish the cover for it, anyway! I'm glad you're finding the videos helpful!
Hi, I just came across your channel and went to your website to see if you sell fleeces or fiber, but I didn't see anything in your shop. I'm always looking for new companies that deal with fiber- greetings from NYC!! 🤗🦋🦙🐑🐏💖🗽🌹
Hi there! I don't currently have anything for sale. I very much appreciate your checking, though. I hope to have things up and running later this year.
@@LindaOfWindyOaks Thank you so much, I spin on hand spindles and I'm waiting (forever 🙄😫😄) to get a wheel, so until then I watch alot of spinning wheel tutorials to learn. I'm subscribing to your channel, I look forward to seeing what you have next- God bless you and have a great day! 🤗💐
There are only a few steps needed to take your yarn from the bobbin to your project. What is your favorite part?
The thwacking, definitely the thwacking.
Thwacking really is fun! 😁
So many videos on RUclips seem to assume that everybody already knows these steps and they are missed out on spinning for beginners content. Very informative and helpful. Thanks from 🇬🇧🙂
I'm glad you found it helpful!
That's what I just said! I had a difficult time finding a video on what to do after loading the bobbin.

My favorite type of swift- only $23 on Amazon too! I just find them less cumbersome than wood ones.
Yes! It doesn't have to be pricey to be good.
@@LindaOfWindyOaksI’m in Pa too, near Reading, so Eastern center, just above Lancaster.
@sandradelvecchio6894 we're practically neighbors (relatively speaking). :)
A deskchair like the one you're sitting on works perfectly to wind up the yarn since it turns aroud.
What an excellent idea!
Great video! I have to admit, I put my yarn directly from the bobbin into a ball. I was wondering if I was supposed to wash it or not. Now I know!
There's always the element of personal preference. It's not like it's the law! 😆 But I think washing it has a host of benefits.
@@LindaOfWindyOaks My daughter just walked in from work and started laughing at me. “What are you doing,” she said, “Decorating the chair?”

@@LindaOfWindyOaks With your padding how do you still keep it pinable? Mine was getting so soft, any suggestions?
I used fabric to pad instead of poly fill. I used a flannel or soft cotton. It holds up against compression a lot better!
How do you know if a soap has enzymes? I've tried 10 different searches on google and nothing will tell me, is there a tell to look for?
I noticed you didn't rinse the soap out of the yarn. Why is that. Shouldn't that be removed?
I'll have to double-check the video! Usually, when it comes to the yarn, I'm only using a tiny bit of soap, and then the soak takes care of it.
Nostepinne video??
That might be fun - I'm not very good at those, so it'd be good practice.
