Thank you so much!! I’ve always wanted to know the process! Please keep up the awesome work you do and keep posting your videos, they’re some of my most favorite to watch!! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much for your information on video!! Lately I’ve been binge watching your shorts on RUclips lol!! LOVE YOU GUYS!! I was wondering in your opinion what is the best type of sheep for making blankets?? Someone told me Marino wool!! But I wanted you guys opinion!!😍😊
I just watched a commercial wool processing video and it made me cry. The way they treated the animals was horrible. Thank you for the care you put in to taking care of these animals. 💕
They genuinely shouldn't be allowed to handle animals when they treat them that bad. Like, I feel like the US is so far behind in regards to animal welfare because they know that if they made laws that actually helped animals it would hurt business because business is built on exploitation, be it the exploitation of the workers or the animals. It just depends on the type of work. It's sad.
There are animal husbandry laws, but they really keep the farmers, the money, and big corporations in mind above animal welfare. Business always trumps animal welfare, so the humane care can only go as far as it doesn't inconvenience or impede on profits or production.
One of my ancestors who came to America in the 1600s was the very first weaver in East Hampton. Part of East Hampton park was his land. He made and dyed fabrics. I can imagine them doing this.
My kids and I took a wool spinning class when they were young. It was really cool, they carded the wool, spun the yarn, dyed it with various techniques and then knitted or wove it into something simple
Well, thank U & Ur wonderful children for Ur special talents, Ur time, Ur perseverance, Ur story & aaaaall Ur special words, thoughts 💖 & Ur big hearts 💕 💞 ♥️ 💖 for explaining it all to us.!! U all sure put in a lot of elbow grease along w/every fiber of Ur hearts 💕 💞 🎶 ♥️ God Bless 🙌 🙏 ❤️ 💖 U & Ur whole entire families ❤
I am one of those that is blessed by the arts and crafts, I use wool for needle felting. I buy it carded wool. I also buy felt and curly wool. The joy it brings me I'd just like to say thank you to all involved in providing me with the fantastic fiber. I love watching what you post which also helps with the chronic pain syndrome. So therapeutic watching the shearing. I am telling you this just so you know all your filming and editing is very much appreciated. The best ones are the ones that look like they been through a mangle and then you shear them and they look like utter class as they trot off. Thanks once again for the great content and best wishes from the UK.
Thank you for saying this! I also find watching these vids distracts me, a bit, from the almost constant pain! It's cool to hear I'm not the only one!! Cheers!!!
@@Microplancakes Most welcome. Sorry to read about your pain. Any distraction is better than none and I just wanted to express my gratitude for the efforts of those involved.
I know this as a knitter, weaver, and yarn store owner. But 99% of people don’t have a clue. So I am always so happy when you teach the viewers about skirting, and carding, and roving, and spinning, etc. it creates so much respect for the craftsmanship of others as well as respect for the sheep and llamas and alpacas, etc. Thank you for your wonderful work and equally wonderful commentaries.
We still have my great grandma's, she passed about two years ago, Spinning Wheel and other knitting/threading set that she use to use when she use to make bridal gowns during her time. I love watching how people make such raw material into something we use.
Hey, I did the part of the process with my granny, she did the thread by herself but anything else we did together, and it's labor intense work, especially washing the wool rather than picking out dirt. Still have her nitting pins from more than 20 years ago. Instead of spinning wheel she had basically 2 sticks, one long with brush on the upper end, where you stick the wool, and another short one you spin and it tags the wool, it was a fascinating process to watch. Some of the wool would be used as blanket filler instead of being used to thread, and it was biggest blanket I've used in my life, it was enough for 3 people to use at the same time comfortably.
This was excellent, so much information packed into exactly one minute. I'm not quite sure how I discovered you - the mysteries of the algorithms, but I've been following you for several months now and enjoy everything you upload. Who knew that shearing was so fascinating!
We're all in that same boat. No clue how I ended up here but at this point several months later I find myself a Sheep Sheering Fanatic and defender. I'd ram a truck Head 1st head on like a Ram if it meant I was saving or protects the Herd. LOL.
Thank you for making this! I’ve been curious. Would be really interesting to see the detailed processes after shearing (although I understand you are a shearer!), thank you so much 😊
If you're interested in this process check out the book "Vanishing Fleece" by Clara Parkes. The audiobook is excellent. It's non-fiction but the author has a real flair for narrative that makes it a really enjoyable read.
What I love MOST about this is the care factor treatment to the sheep, showing that the rough handling and numbers of nicks and cuts should NOT happen, thank you 😊
nicks do happen when the sheep starts moving while the shearer is yknow, shearing. 1 or 2 nicks will happen, but if youre talking 3 or more nicks and cuts- yeah thats when you know that the shearer isnt doing their job properly
Nice to see this explained. My mom is a weaver and has participated in many “sheep to shawl” competitions over the years. She still has an antique spinning wheel although it doesn’t get used as much as the modern one.
I really needed to see the skirting table! I have sheep AND all of the stuff to do the wool, but haven't quite figured out how to skirt it all this is a life saver, thank you for sharing!
There are probably more videos here on RUclips that will help teach you. Just search "How to (whatever you want to learn)" The amount of stuff I've learned how to do from just youtube videos is amazing. From crafts to fixing my car, its great!
My Mom still does what is called 'sheep to shawl'. She does every step . . . Including shearing the sheep. She uses a spinning wheel, but much prefers her drop spindle. Thanks for showing the process! You are so amazing at what you do and the way you educate people.
Beautiful fleece! When you pull off fiber from a drum carder, the big "sheet" is also called a batt. Or you can use a diz (just something with a hole drilled in it that you pull the fleece through) to become the roving :)
The yarn looks beautiful and thank you for showing us the process after the shearing . It is wonderful to see how much you appreciate the animals you are shearing .
Merino sheep... I insulated my camping van with that.. So cool you showed what happens with the wool after you're done with it... Years ago I used to use the old carding method like you're talking about and spin the wool with a small spindle.. the new Machinery looks really cool.. Glad you're showing people how they eventually get their sweaters and scarves💖l
This is brilliant and also makes me realise why wool yarn is so expensive. I'd love to use it but I'm allergic to sheep so I get really itchy when I do. However I really appreciate the amount of work that goes into actually creating the yarn
I was a weaver for many years. I had a handmade spinning wheel and spun my own yarn. This was in the 1970s - my hippie days!! I wove beautiful ruanas on my hand made looms made by Bill Walling, and learned to weave from my teacher Marie Walling. Loved the world of spinning and weaving for many years!!! Also became a basket weaver and loved that too!!!❤
My aunt raised alpacas and sheep for years. She spun her own wool and sold it to people all over the world and of course used it herself to make beautiful pieces. I love how she treasures the yarn and knows from which animal it came. She has a special blanket in process which will have wool from each of her beloved animals! Love your videos!
So many people talking about how cruel the thing we have been doing for millions of years is and are just going round harassing creators for having a job that involves animals
You know...I have been watching you for a long time... and I love that you took it a step deeper for me! I love it... somehow it relaxes me, thank you!
I subscribed to your channel because I love you I love you and your wife I love what you do when I watch what you do it is the most calming thing. I have anxiety and depression, so when I find such a kind soul I subscribe. But what you’ve just done in this video it’s something that I’ve been curious about since I subscribed. I also have memory care in my life so if you wanna add to this story and reiterate it throughout your filming, it would be exactly what I hope for. Stay cool Gurl!
Fyi for anyone wondering: hand carding is 2 wide paddle brushes you scrape against each other. In her vid clip: drum carding or wheel carding. More effective and less irritation. If you have rage to get out, hand card. If you need it done fairly quickly and are just tired, drum.
I’m one of those falling out of love with views I’m beginning to see as… Well shortsighted. Ignoring or just not not knowing the foundations of what we find around us. Or worse lying about it. You however are the opposite of that. You remind me of how stewardship of our world can be. And how we can let go of many old harshnesses founded in ignorance, while accepting and maintaining certain understandings of the world that is born new, every generation. Regardless of us, it will be again. And in my estimation you show a persistence and Wisdom in taking it up. Taking the guiding and work of it’s necessity. Because someone must. That’s the values of the image of the shepherd of old. If you ignore certain dogma, you hold forth a the heart of that standard. And that is… More valuable than all the shrieking of anyone claiming to know truth in this age. So thank you.
I would love to do all this by hand. I crochet and I know sheep farmers so I've always been interested in giving it a try. Thanks for reigniting this interest.
Thank you so much for your videos. I enjoyed watching them, very informative and foster awareness and respect for these animals and the people that takes care of them.
i work in a wool plant and i often fix those carding machines!! they are MASSIVE! the amount of wool they can process is incredible, and they output a fine, delicate string of aligned fibre that goes to another machine to be spun. (i work on all the machines in the factory but the carding machines are def the coolest!)
I’ve never been that close to a sheep in my life. But I am enamored with your videos and LOVE seeing the process and how much our fluffy friends do for us. THANK YOU FOR SHARING!!
I can't wait to show this to my granddaughters! I've always wondered how it all happened. I knew part of it, but no it all, so this was extremely cool to watch. Thank you!!!!
I'm in the middle of spinning some merino into yarn for a baby blanket right now. This is so satisfying. Thank you for all the love you put into your work 💚
Nice idea for a video. I used to go to county fairs and such demonstrating carding while my mom, a sheep hobbyist, demonstrated spinning on a wheel. I got alot of questions about how wool becomes sweaters, and most common question was why the "cotton was not white?" It was fun to explain, and to give kids a small ball of wool to take home. I still have the itch to get a drum carder and drop spindle, it's a very practical skill.
It's one thing to see you sheer the sheep another to see your hard work become a product that can become something humans can utilize in their daily lives... Your job has come full circle. Thank You for the time taken to educate your audience. 👏👏👏
As a farmer of many animals including fiber animals I just wanna take a moment to appreciate the AWESOME skills you have of shearing!! You rock the shears! Thank you for the educational videos and professionalism!!
I love watching and listening to you explain this stuff. Your so professional and gentle with the animals keep doing what your doing and I'll keep watching
Hahaha! Finally! I learned a song in early grade school that made zero sense until today when I finally know what "carding" is! "Tell mother dear we're carding today..." I was literally singing the song just yesterday and still didn't know what I was talking about! Talk about ironic! Thank you!
I truly appreciate all of the time and hard work you put into this amazing work!! It's really is awe inspiring to watch and truly well worth the cost per pound when you stop to consider what it's going to be for a price of a hat or blanket or sweater!! 🐑🐏
In as much as we love your shearing, we are grateful for this video that shows what happens with all shearings. We love the care you show them. Thank you 😘
This is childhood happy vibes. My father's mother's brother had a little farm next door to my father's mother. I remember my pride when I was allowed to help bottle-feed a little lamb. Every year, after shearing, my father's mother served a special cake. We used to go out to the sheep, thank them for the wool, and give them some shhep-adapted "candy". I was always told it was important to thank the sheep for their gifts to us. Don't know if that's a tradition in the rest of the world. But helping with everything always gave me a sense of pride and belonging. Happy days! Edit: I love English, but expressing relatives need a make-over. Much more precise in Swedish.
My mom spins yarn from fleeces she gets. The hand carder brought back memories of late nights with her watching tv as she spun the yarn and I cleaned the wool and made the roving.
I did misspeak. It’s a drum carder, there is also a hand carder which looks much more difficult. 😂
Thank you so much!! I’ve always wanted to know the process! Please keep up the awesome work you do and keep posting your videos, they’re some of my most favorite to watch!! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much for your information on video!! Lately I’ve been binge watching your shorts on RUclips lol!! LOVE YOU GUYS!! I was wondering in your opinion what is the best type of sheep for making blankets?? Someone told me Marino wool!! But I wanted you guys opinion!!😍😊
Hand carding is a pair of paddles, that have the bristles.
It is a relatively simple task. Great exercise for the arms!
@@karengerber8390 Simple task but I imagine its soooo tiring
I can’t even imagine how hard it was 150 years ago!! I can spin roving-veryvery slowly. So I know how hard it is and am always in awe.
"From baa to beanie" adorable 😍 💕
*There* it is!
I just _knew_ I wouldn't have to type it in myself - lurved it, BTW...! 🥰🐏🐑🦙
Very cleaver !
Put that on a shirt
I thought she said: From barn to beanie. :)
Yeah when she said beanie, it's confirmed. She's Canadian.
Seeing these "behind the sheeps" vids makes me feels like I'm watching the prequel.
SO SO HAPPY to finally see this part of the process!! I hope you continue to share more about sheep and wool that are affected by your shearing!
I just watched a commercial wool processing video and it made me cry. The way they treated the animals was horrible. Thank you for the care you put in to taking care of these animals. 💕

not unless you get people to vote it stop thinking your powerless that's exactly what they want
Yeah they do and people then jump on people like these ladies because of what commercial people do.
These animals enjoy banging their heads against each other’s.

Is your last name Weaver ? 😅 that would be nice
Glad you are passing on family history to the rest of us. ❤❤

I would take that class.
if i have children i would go with them too! sounds like a wholesome and educational activity for all✨👏
Yay! Thank you so much for this! I've been wondering how it goes from sheep to yarn. Now I know, though I'm ready for even more details.

Great video. As a crochet/knitter I appreciate all the effort that goes into producing a natural fiber. That's why I save up for gorgeous yarn.

The yarn looks beautiful and thank you for showing us the process after the shearing . It is wonderful to see how much you appreciate the animals you are shearing .
I love that you showed us this, I've been wondering. Now back to watching the shearing lol.
As a knitter this is super interesting to me! Thank you for always treating the sheep so gently ❤️ I always prefer to buy from small farms/companies
Thank you, I didn’t know it went through all of this.
Merino sheep... I insulated my camping van with that..

im so glad you made this, I've been curious!!
I love that you take the time to educate your viewers without talking down to anyone!
Man when they made me do hand carding in school, it was literally two handheld cards with bristles. I'd have killed for the wheels
Sesame Street also cover this. Look at the song “Bert’s Blanket

I just bought 100% wool roving and made myself some dreadlocks today!! I love watching this!
But then it got real hot and the little hairs on my neck were pulling so I removed them! Haha!
Thank you Right Choice Sheering for showing other aspects other than just sheering sheeps wool.
Keep them coming!
Awesome job explaining this , and showing all the hard work going into wool .

These videos make me feel sm better ab wearing wool. It looks so freeing I can’t imagine how much relief they get
Thank you so much for your videos. I enjoyed watching them, very informative and foster awareness and respect for these animals and the people that takes care of them.

Awwwe. Left out the spinning wheel. That's the most relaxing part. Also drop spindle. Very relaxing . I love spinning wool

This is EXACTLY what I was hoping you would post...I wondered what happened to that lovely fleece after your shearing
Thank you
Thank you for this! It's always interesting to see the next few processes from beginning to end.
Wool is like the comfiest fabric in existence. They just feel so warm and soft. Those fleece already gives me the feel of sleeping.
I love knitting so seeing wool yarns getting made makes me so happy 😊 especially when you know it's also comfortable for the sheep!
As a crocheter and knitter, I thank shearers, the animals and the owners for the amazing yarn we work with ❤

Very informative. It’s one of those things you know what happens but not exactly how it happens. Thank you.
You would be a SUPERSTAR SHEARER here in AUSTRALIA !!!
God bless you for your lovely videos, and thank you !!!

Thankyou for explaining the process, I always wondered how wool skeins were made
I'm a knitter from Spain and I enjoy your shorts immensely! Thanks so much for sharing! ❤
This is childhood happy vibes. My father's mother's brother had a little farm next door to my father's mother. I remember my pride when I was allowed to help bottle-feed a little lamb. Every year, after shearing, my father's mother served a special cake. We used to go out to the sheep, thank them for the wool, and give them some shhep-adapted "candy". I was always told it was important to thank the sheep for their gifts to us. Don't know if that's a tradition in the rest of the world. But helping with everything always gave me a sense of pride and belonging. Happy days!
Edit: I love English, but expressing relatives need a make-over. Much more precise in Swedish.
My mom spins yarn from fleeces she gets. The hand carder brought back memories of late nights with her watching tv as she spun the yarn and I cleaned the wool and made the roving.
Thank you for the information!!! I love learning new things !!( I’m 73)
I really liked this video!! I've been wondering about what happens to all the wool and now I know! Thank you for your awesome content! 👌
