Skagit Wool Works are fabulous! Great prices, great prep job, great selection of breeds for people ready to venture beyond merino. WA is getting spoiled with several great mills.
🤤 Inglenook absolutely drool worthy. I have braids that are like art displays for me. I need to get them into yarn for some colorwork. They are so special. Great episode!
Love your videos and patterns, I am spinning some fibre from Crux fibres in the Yukon. I am doing a spin for my Marilla’s mittens from her low mileage wool collection. I love Brittany’s fibre and her yarns.
my parents just brought me spinning fiber from seaweed eating sheep in the northern most part of the Orkney Islands and a few skeins of yarn for the same flock. I hadn't heard of seaweed eating sheep before so it was cool to hear you mention it as well. I can't wait to spin it up. I am currently working on a purple 3 ply combo spin per my son's request because after I made his blue back to school vest he would now like a purple vest as well. I have 4 ounces each of a purple mixed bat with bamboo and Angelina in it, a purple merino, and a purple heathered grey wool of the andes. Its making a lovely worsted weight once plied, I have 3 more bobbins to go.
Thank you so much for sharing your fiber loves. I am really enjoying and learning from your spinning videos, and I would absolutely appreciate seeing your suggestions of patterns for handspun yarn as my own handspun stash starts to grow and grow.
I need to use my wheel more! I have had it for over a year and I'm so intimidated I have only made one skein... like the first noob skein. I think I just need to get over it. All the fibre is so pretty to buy! And your spins look so pretty.
Thanks for a great video! I'm very new to spinning and appreciate the review of fiber shops. Also, do you have any advice/resource recommendations for learning how to long draw? I recall you talking about this here and there and it makes me want to try it out!
Hi! Crafting With Compassion on here has GREAT videos demonstrating it. Also, I believe Ply magazine has an issue just dedicated to woolen style spinning. Hope that helps!!
