Here you'll find Spinning, Knitting, Dyeing, and Fiber Experimentation Videos!

I'm hoping inspire and learn with the fiber community through videos documenting both the successes and failures of experimenting with fiber. I strongly believe in repurposing, textile recycling, and yarn reclaiming!

If at first you don't succeed, there's always a way to fix it!

Thanks for this! I like your information about the different types fibers and how they work in the resulting yarns.

Beautiful fiber for blending, and beautiful Luna!! ❤ Quick tip: separate out the sections into smaller ones (like drafting) before putting it through the second time. It puts much less stress on the tines and allows for more even blending. The fibers are likely to go onto the big drum rather than stick to the likker in. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and passion for angora!

I've watched all of these blending videos and they are totally inspiring, thank you so much!! I've recently bought a blending board and have been searching out ideas for being more creative with it. Your videos have certainly hit the mark, thanks so much!! ❤

I love making rolags as much as I love knitting! I just am unsure of how thick to make my layers on the blending board. I make my own fibers from leftover wool yarn.

I found this video very helpful. Your presentation allowed me to see what you were doing and your narrative was easy to understand and follow. I had not known about blending by hand on the large carder, so that was useful. Thank you.

What size knitting needles do you use to make the rolags???
@pamyclark1263
@pamyclark1263 2 года назад
Wide enough to span the width of the board, and a diameter size strong enough to pull the rolags without bending(ie: size 9-10.)

About how much yarn would a rolag that size make and would you say in the long run that it is more cost effective than buying yarn that is already spun?
@clarioncallfiberarts7088
@clarioncallfiberarts7088 2 года назад
Hi! Thanks so much for reaching out- I can only fit about 1oz of fiber at a time on my blending board (equaling the 3 Rolags you see in my video. 3 Rolags (depending on how thickly or thinly you spin) is roughly 100 yards of singles, and 50 yards of 2 ply (singles plied together) yarn in a DK Weight or light worsted weight. 1oz of fiber can range between $2-$6 an ounce depending on the quality of fiber; so while it can be cheaper than store bought yarn, the expensive bit (and also what makes it so special) is the time you put into it! Hope this helps!

Hi! That’s for watching! I love supporting small local dyers like www.inglenookfibers.com or www.nestfiberstudio.bigcartel.com But you can also go to www.paradisefibers.com or to www.Woolery.com they have a huge selection 😊 Happy Blending!

@ArtByJUSTSAM

This was helpful. I have a couple of questions though... * How do you know if you’ve layered too much fiber on your board? (I know when there isn’t enough but the opposite is problematic.) * Which brush do I use the push the fiber down? (I have 2 brushes that came with my blending board; one with teeth the same direction as the board and one with the opposite. I know one is for pushing down and one is for pulling up but which is which? 🤷🏻‍♀️)
@clarioncallfiberarts7088
@clarioncallfiberarts7088 3 года назад
Thanks so much for watching! Here’s what worked for me: 1. With regards to how much fiber to put on the board: it’s kind of trial and error, what I found works best for me is only about 1oz of fiber on the board at a time. More than that and it seems to get unruly. Start with that benchmark, and see how you feel? 2. As for your brushes, it’s hard to know without seeing your brushes- I haven’t seen ones with angled teeth- if you’re having trouble with these, try a long bristled hair brush, or pet brush something without an angle and see if that’s easier for you? In my experience the blending board teeth are angled, and point away from you to catch the fiber as you draft it onto the board. To brush the fiber down (which will pack it down onto the board as well) you need to brush the fiber towards you, and against the blending board teeth. To remove the fiber from the board, generally you brush away from you, with the blending board teeth. I hope that helps!! Happy Crafting! -Clarion

@jazzybio13 3 года назад
@@clarioncallfiberarts7088 I have run 120 and a 190, just curious if your finding better luck with lower TPI with how fine Angora is? Have your tried switching up?
@clarioncallfiberarts7088
@clarioncallfiberarts7088 3 года назад
Out of the Box homestead! Yes! I have thought about that a lot- when I was purchasing my drum carder, they recommended a finer carding cloth, and I went with 90 vs 72 because I knew I would be doing a lot of angora, but I also would be blending other things so I thought maybe a middle coursed cloth would be better- I find that no matter what I do, the angora likes to stick to the teeth of the cloth, and I often wonder if the 72 would have helped with this. I haven’t tried this out sadly- getting a new drum carder is costly- but I’ve often wondered. What’s your experience? 😊
