Such a surprise! New episode so quickly. I’m glad you didn’t leave us “Cold Turkey” before summer. I’m sorry we will not let you properly retire, but your episodes are so educational, I learned so much and I always watch episodes multiple times. Big Thank You ❤🎉😊

Thank you, Doro. I’m trying to just film as I go through my week and hopefully post more often! 🤗

What a great series of videos. What a fabulous teacher you are. Thank you for taking all the time to show us so much. As someone who wants to learn to spin, this was incredibly helpful. I can’t wait to see your completed sweaters, but also look forward to all the WIP stops along the way.

I loved this episode. All was very interesting, and a nice surprise to see on this morning. It's fun to see Peaches, and I am happy see the toy she has chosen for the day! I know that it takes time to get all your RU-vids going. I look forward to them.

@lindas5964 5 месяцев назад

I find your videos to be a treat for the senses but also quite interesting in an informative way as well. I’d never thought about which way the scales were facing when spinning but it makes sense to take that into consideration! One thing I’d love to know is how those long braided wool tops are made. It’s so easy to spin them and while I understand that top is made by combing the fibers, how to they make the long run of it so there isn’t as much splicing required when spinning it up (I spin on a drop spindle and I’m terrible at splicing). I love those beautiful braided wool tops from Etsy and would sure like to make my own.

You kept me company while I knit and drank coffee this morning, my favourite things to do. I love the red over grey roving and watching you spin singles. The Felix will be the perfect project.

That red is soooo pretty! I am looking forward to seeing your sweater from that red Lopi-style yarn. All the fleeces are so gorgeous! I card the way you do, so don't fret... I tend to card fleece 3-5 times to get it smooth. I also comb the same as you and spin my combed yarn from the tip end. Like you, I think it drafts more smoothly that way. Thanks for sharing all the lovelies!

I learn so much from you in preparing and spinning fleeces. I'd like to learn more about the sourcing and selecting of fleeces that you purchase - particularly from Finn sheep.

@SoulfulSpinning 9 месяцев назад

The very best way is to buy in person but I have had good luck purchasing online. I’ve also had some duds unfortunately. Finn wool is not that common in the states but can be found. You might try the Finn wool breeders association for a source. Good luck and happy fleece hunting!

I like to spin combed prep wool from the tip also (like in the direction it grows off the animal) i find it a much more relaxing spin, plus you can always re-wind the singles to ply them in a way to smooth them back down. 😊 Thanks for sharing that footage of your batt carding process, that fiber really looked incredibly bouncy, I could practically feel it through the screen. Happy Autumn Equinox!

I find it very inspirational and peaceful ,and would like to thank you. I've struggled with singles so far. When ive knitted it up it goes biased. I have processed my first fleece this year also a chocolate brown Moorit. fleece. I am currently watching Only Murders in the building on Disney which i can highly recommend. Look forward to your next episode xx

Yours is so incredibly beautiful and I’ve searched the net to find one, but haven’t succeeded yet. Can you please help me with where I could find one? I live in Sweden and here is definitely nothing such to find 😢 Thank you for yet another very very inspiring episode, I just love your podcast ❤️

@lizcooney4215 9 месяцев назад

That red fleece is soooo beautiful. I find it really difficult to find a nice red. It reminds me of “ravelry red” which is rios colourway that I knit my first cardigan in. Unfortunately, it was back when I didn’t understand about superwash yarns, and how they behave once knit up!….I am a total “wooly-wool” convert now. - What a great tutorial on using a carder! I could have really used that back when I had just purchased one. I found it difficult to find that sort of content online. The best place to find spinning content I found was Craftsy. - Thanks for the great video! I really enjoy watching your podcasts. One of my favs. ~ Afriendlyknitter

The chocolate Corriedale you carded looks very much like a Manx loaghtan I bought last year in colour, crimp and squishiness. I’ve not done anything with it yet but intending to spin it woollen draw on a support spindle. I may blend it with a gorgeous black Shetland I recently purchased as both are super soft and would make a gorgeous cowl or shawl.

I've learned so much from watching you spin and prep - and from reading through the comments, I see I'm not the only one. We're all grateful for the time and thought you put into your channel. I hear you about how dark all the TV series are. A few lighter ones that I've enjoyed - on Britbox - Sister Boniface, McDonald & Dobbs, Murder in Provence; on Acorn - Brokenwood Mysteries, Madame Blanc, Hamish MacBeth, Whitstable Pearl (to name a few of the lesser known ones). We're also currently watching the new version of All Creatures Great and Small - lots of beautiful knitwear!

However, Ailbiona's pattern is great, and I'll probably still make Kallias eventually, too :)

Your spinning is beautiful ❤ and your red Felix will be stunning! I kinda wanna try spinning in this style for a Felix. Maybe out of my natural creamy white corriadale 🐑. I have a bunch of it that was loosely carded. By Briggs and little wool and mill. But I have never done a single ply and I’m not sure how to do it and not have it want to ply back on its self. Have you ever done a video on how you do that? I for one would love to learn how to spin yarn like you are for the Felix ❤🧶🐑

@SoulfulSpinning 9 месяцев назад

I love Elizabeth Hubbard’s Corriedale though I think most of hers are white. Observatory Hill Farm is in Wisconsin and that’s who I bought the gray and brown fleeces from. Whitefish Bay has beautiful fleeces but they are slowing down a bit. You might also check the breeder’s association. Of course a fiber festival is a great place to buy fleeces, too.

@user-ck5oc7ze9j 6 месяцев назад

How do you choose carding or combing?

@SoulfulSpinning 6 месяцев назад

The length and crimp of the staple usually guide my decision. Locks greater than 3 inches or so are great for combing. Shorter crimpier fibers are good for carding. But I don’t have a clear and fast rule. It also depends on how you plan to spin. Worsted spinning is good for combed prep and woolen for carded. It’s good to environment and see what yarn you prefer for a given fleece. There is a lot if info and opinions out there for sure!
