Clearing out my bobbins while answering all your spinning, knitting and fiber arts questions! 

Aaaaah oh my gosh, I am SO honored by the shout-out! Thank you for your extremely kind words This video was such a joy (as are you!). I was wondering - would you ever consider sharing more about your fine art hobby? Your work is absolutely gorgeous, and I'd love to learn more about what you do 🤩

I love this channel. I love the level of sustainability and authenticity you portray. THANK YOU!

I liked this format! And if you run out of questions: it's nice just hearing you talk about wool, knitting, fiber arts, dyeing. I love listening to people talking about their passions and hobbies!

"chaos and shenanigans" ha, ha! You are a total delight.

Yes! The right wing does not have exclusive ownership over the past! Nice to see another lefty person in the fibre world 😊 I've already watched and enjoyed some of your videos but now I'm subscribed. So that's at least one un-sub compensated for.

I have the same with processing my own yarn instead of bying acrylic yarns, that is why I started spinning . Also it is an old craft (oude ambacht) same as bobbin lace (kantklossen) 🙂. I am spinning since Feb this year and I really love it. Also prepping yarn from beginning to end. enjoy your day 🙂🐑🧶

Re: political views. I have the same issue. I have a lot of kids, I like traditional crafts and skills. People assume I'm a right wing prepper and then get angry when they find out I'm not. Really appreciated doing the Q and A! Thanks for sharing so much about yourself and your skills and interests!

Thank you for sharing so much about yourself! My chaotic self is immensely enjoying bingeing through your videos and several things you shared really resonate with me. One of those things is how people seem to automatically associate doing stuff yourself with conservative and some times downright insular, isolationist world views and values. My passport and my country of birth don’t match. Just after hitting my mid-teens I’d already lived on three continents and was fluent in four languages. Seeing how other people (have to) live and what messing about with our resources do to not only living conditions elsewhere but affects us all long term, kind of broadens one’s world view and convictions. Having been ‘the odd one out’, the ’stranger’, the one with the ’weird’ culture for a significant part of my formative years did too. Having had to some times do without something considered ‘basic’ in the Western world, like having to ration water use for months on end, kind of adds a whole new perspective. At the beginning of the pandemic everyone was panicking because toilet paper was sold out everywhere. People were wondering why I wasn’t in a tizzy about it. Well, I’d had to do without before. No big deal. I’m not a conservative. At all. I’m not a screaming-off-the-ramparts communist/socialist either. I call myself a common sense human who happens to be mindful of the planet she lives on, the people around her and generally the living creatures she knows exist around her, both near and far, visible and invisible. It’s not because I happen to enjoy smoking my own bacon, fermenting my own wines and meads, painting, and spinning my own yarn that I have conservative views. And if I did, why hate on someone for having different opinions simply because at the end of the day, that person probably wants what we all want: food to eat, a roof over their head, a job that pays enough to pay the bills, and the feeling of living in a space that is safe? Why limit myself to only like-minded people if talking to others tickles my brain, challenges me (and them) and can bring us to solutions that neither would otherwise think of? It seems we lean very much towards similar views. Whilst that makes me go “Yay!” I wouldn’t unsubscribe to your channel if you did lean conservative. I only would if you started to try and force me over to ‘your’ side or started hating on ‘the other’ side. That being said, I do at times immensely enjoy bamboozling those who assume. Call me petty. Call me childish. I’m perfectly imperfect and happy to be so. 😊

I so get the "I just knew" on the fiber arts. I'll loved them since I was little. One of my earliest memories is sitting in my living room with two straws pretending to knitt. Another time I was in church and was mesmerized by a lady crocheting, I watched her for a solid half hour. Only I didn't even know what crocheting was then. I thought it was knitting. I begged my grandma to teach me, and I knitted many a horrible scarf, that I stuck on a pencil because I didn't know how to finish them. 🙃 I remember planning out how to knitt gloves during recess in school. And, like you, I went to a museum where they had a loom. Except they were actually USING the loom to weave to show visitors. They were warping it up. I wanted to weave on it SO BAD. I was so sad when my parents forced me to move on. So yeah, sometimes our little souls just KNOW. I was practically born wanting to create. (I must also thank you for introducing me to Kristine Vike. I agree with you, she is so underated.)

I’m not a right winger either!!❤

Once again a fascinating video and chat. I have to say I am right with you in your political views. Pretty much where I stand too. I love the way you turn everything into a story. You have a real talent there. Thank you.

I thoroughly enjoyed your Q and A, and I hope you will do it again. harpingJanet.

I love to watch you while I knit! I get so excited to spin- but after Xmas… to much to knit and gift to others- u are so fun!

Enabling conservatives is one of my big fears when looking for stuff on traditional crafts lol I'm so glad for people like you and kristine and a few others. I also knew as a kid that I wanted to weave and I yearned for years lol but once I found out there were tools I could spin with that was the end for me XD (Also I have not seen the contents personally but another youtuber has enlightened me about the existence of a book called Naughty Needles that is apparently full of.... interesting patterns)

Yes! The Q&A!

I started with eco printing and then moved onto natural dying before buying a spinning wheel. I was looking for a cheap way to get wool to dye. It's funny though that I don't really dye my handspun anymore. I loved to watch Cabin Boy Knits, Billynou and Last Minute Laura.

I enjoy this video. Thanks for chatting with us ❤

Hi Jente, I hope you're OK xx ❣️❣️ This was a very interesting video podcast. I hadn't seen that this was going to be a Q&A one, but you answered the questions that I would have asked. Your finished Yarn looks amazing, just like you are. Love the Art Work too. Happy Spinning and Knitting Fibre Friend 🎡🐑🥰 Hope you have a Great Week and a Wonderful Weekend. 🌈 Take care and stay safe Lots of love and Big Hugs Jen xxxx ❤️❤️❤️🫂🫂🫂🐕

What a great video! And I appreciate how you have shared/incorporated your values into your video. I AM SO MIND BLOW AND HONORED FOR THE SHOUT OUT! There must be something in the air as I give you a shout out in my video I’m currently uploading. 😊 Also how you talked about your content planning is goals. I was wondering if you also did art! It’s so phenomenal. It’s inspiring me to find a life drawing class to join (I’m also a fellow artist 😉🧑‍🎨)

this was great, and it was good to get to know some other things about you. definitely do this again! I totally agree with your political views, and anyone who unsubs because of something personal to you, can go. they're not worth it. I love your art! I do more landscape and fantasy personally. can't wait for tour de fleece.

All my questions have been answered!

I just wanted to say, I haven't been spinning very actively the last few weeks and this video made me realise how much I miss it, and how much I love wool! I really prefer working with combed wool, and I don't have combs yet to comb the raw wool I have, so I've been just sort of avoiding spinning all together because combs are so dang expensive... So note to self: stop avoiding and find second hand combs or make them or do something, and also go wash more wool to spin!

Loved the video, love your channel! Hello from Brazil.

Thank you for answering the question about your political ideology. Your answer was really nice to hear, but also not unexpected, it was the vibe I was getting from you already! I'm sorry if it costs you subscribers 🙈

Know that feeling I always wanted to spin from the first time I saw someone doing it .i also had the pleasure of shearing sheep and did own one at once stage,I started knitting at a young age but started sewing at about the same time,fibre crafts are it for me,I also try to paint but really only watercolour now and small pieces not large,natural dyes are also a passion just not getting the colour I want,still like dying with chemical dyes,nice large hank of yarn you spun while talking,love your fibre shenanigans

😂 ik heb net je kanaal ontdekt sinds gisteren en heb mij al reuze geamuseerd, ja groen verven..... ik verf zelf Met bakgerief , dus kleurstof waar je een cake mee kunt kleuren. Die vind ge bij aveve in België..... Ja ik vind het ook enorm fijn van echt volledig het schaap te hebben hé en van scrats naar draad te gaan. Mijn man vind dat iets minder als ik weer een vacht of vachten bij de buren heb gevonden....maar hey ik was ze redelijk direct. En ben ook fan van mijn kaardmolen. Echt wol kammen dat doe ik ni. En ik word ook kalm van echt ruwe wol. Hmmm die you tube kanalen? Ik ken enkel Julian eve, met haar heb ik vorig jaar leren spinnen op een gevonden wieltje op marktplaats.met maar 1 spindle. En daar spin Ik nog steeds op....en op spintollen. Benieuwd naar de groene wol en met wat je het gaat verven....

Now I have another question: how much yarn does one of your tubs of fleece make?

Thanks for the Q&A im ummm kinda nosey so i always enjoy videos like this! And as far as knitted lingerie goes; while I appreciate efforts some of the pattern writers go to to make them size inclusive I do think they just dont know what its like for us "well endowed" folks lol. Makes me kinda jealous some of the patterns are so cute. That said I do have some vintage pattern books with lingerie sections that are all camisoles and combinations that are so pretty and i hope to one day knit. (if i dont get distracted by 10 other projects lol.)

Wow, that is a CHONKY skein. Love it. I suppose my question is a bit more involved -- do you have a stash of handspun yarn (I assume you do), and if so, would you give us a little tour of it sometime?

I enjoyed this conversational format! I also collect vintage dishes - esp. ones that my grandmothers had. Can you tell me the name of the pattern you showed us? Is it a Belgian maker? Thank you for your time, interest and commitment to your unique content on your channel!

Here for all of the bamboozling of all of the conservatives. You're rad as heck, Jente.

Fun video. I want to try double knitting but brioche does not appeal to me, seems too complicated!

I have a question: your niddy noddy is made of sticks. I would love to know how you assembled it and get the fiber off of it once it is done. Hope to see a video of it in the future. 🤗

Woohoo a shout-out! For more Jente shenanigans you can check this channel out! ❤

I like this video. Another question: I'm a beginner spinner and I'm very curious about what Tour the Fleece is. Can you explain? Also are you interested in spinning together with others? It is possible we live not far away from each other, I'm near the Belgian border.

Ik ben een beetje jaloers op de wollen dozen, maar ik wil meer video's met vragen en praten over hobby's en wat je van de wereld vindt. Tot volengde keer dan.

All my long life I was a lefty until 2016 election here in the USA. I now lean more conservative. The right here is now more anti-war than the left and also speak for the the working people. Things really flip-flopped here.
