I'm here in Scotland (in my 200+ year old weavers cottage) having just spun my first bobbin full of slightly uneven, slightly wonky yarn thanks to your video Evie-thank you! 💜

@madamfirefly5501 Месяц назад

You are soo sweet love your video! Thanks I'm thinking of buying a wheel, wondering how it's done ect you made it less scary to try😊 I love Scotland!!

@lauramissy7492 7 месяцев назад

Evie.... I have been watching your channel now for years. I have several drop spindles and have been dreaming of the day when I could afford to buy my first wheel. Well, yesterday I was at my local yarn shop on an off day for sitting and stitching, and in walked a lady who wanted to sell her Ashford Traveller for a very reasonable price. I simply couldn't snatch it up any faster... Now, I have been cleaning it up and tightening the bolts and grinning the entire time. So, I had to watch this video all over again. Thank you so much for this channel and all the knowledge you share so freely. 🥰🥰

@kristavowels3473 2 года назад

I know nothing about fiber arts, or spinning yarn, but this video makes me want to. After watching this video I feel like I could pick this hobby up and know what I’m doing.

@caffienatedtactician 2 года назад

You should look up yarn shops (independent, not like. Michael's lol) and see if you can get in touch with someone with a spinning wheel you could try!

@janeyost2439 2 года назад

I finally got a spinning wheel, this lady's videos have helped me so much! I have such a feeling of accomplishment as I look at my skeins. I can't wait to start knitting with my own yarn! ☺️

Most helpful beginner video I have seen yet! Thank you!

@MalorieRivera 3 года назад

As an embroiderer, I was just gifted a castle-style spinning wheel and BAGS of roving. You've broken these steps down so well; it's very clear what I need to do and what I need to practice! Thank you so much!

@Julie-dt8li 2 года назад

You helped me spin my very first bobbin!!! Even though it's crazy thick and thin, and over and under twisted, I finally have a continuous strand! Now I can finally spin my own Icelandic sheep wool. . After many hours of frustration with over twisting, bunching up at the orifice, breaking yarn, zero progress, lots of choice words, and ultimately giving up, I finally found your video. The step-by-step with the practice yarn is EXACTLY what I needed! Your cheery attitude and positive outlook are the icing on the cake to your beginner-friendly teaching style. THANK YOU!!

@susanjanemay5713 2 года назад

Oh this is such a useful video! I'm a drop spinner thinking of getting a spinning wheel...the tension bit gave me such a laugh - hanging on to that fibre - oh I can see that happening to me big time 😂😂😂

@Jane.Doe. 3 года назад

Hi! I'm an artist- painting, silversmithing, I design jewelry using semi precious stones, make my own glass beads, sewing (by hand and with a machine), making patterns, etc... just really love creating unique things with my hands. Life is truly wonderful when surrounded by arts and crafts isn't it? My Mom taught me to crochet and knit while growing up and I'm recently finding myself being drawn back into it. Ohhh my gosh, all the yarns, books, hooks and needles I've collected! lol 🤯 The hand dyed fingering yarn is my favorite.. I live in nw Colorado and there's lots of farms around to get wool and such. I have a good amount of silk I've saved too... Now I want to dye and create my *own* yarns. So, i'm just getting into spinning and guess what? This video was the first one to pop up in my "recommended for you" feed. I know it's over a year old, but I hope you see this comment still. I love your personality and the awesome way you teach and explain things. 🧶🌺 So I subscribed to your channel and am beginning a marathon of watching your videos. 🦋 Thank you so much for sharing your craft and for being such a good teacher. You know, if you lined up 10 people in a row and had them teach the exact same thing,There would be that *one* special teacher out of the bunch that truly get through, where I would go - "Oh wow, I really understand now.. I really do get this, yes!".. that one teacher (for me) would be you. So thanks again, you are very appreciated... 👍 Wishing you lots of success and happiness in your life- 🐑🐅🐾🕊️🌷🐝

I just got my first spinning wheel yesterday after desperately wanting one for 30 years. I’m looking forward to starting to use it for the wool I’m being given in September. Now thanks to your video I will be able to practice until then. Thank you so much, I look forward to watching the rest of your videos ❤

Hi Evie! I just have to say that I love you so much! I was literally crying with my fiber on the hand because I could not make my new spinning wheel work, you are an angel, and you made me smile so much!! THANK YOUUUUUU. Love from Peru

You have been my guardian angel in my journey from “fleece from the pet alpacas “ to actual yarn. You guided me through drop spindle spinning and now my first spinning wheel (wonderful vintage Louet). THANK YOU!

@barbarahengstenberg7000 2 года назад

I also have fiber from our rescued (now pet) alpacas. I've been learning how to wash, pick and card the fiber, and now it's time to spin on my Ashford wheel. Oh boy, let the fun begin!!!! So glad I found your channel, JillianEve! Karin, I'd love to see what you're spinning!

@kps59 2 года назад

@@barbarahengstenberg7000 right now I’m working on spinning the 3700 yards I need for the big shawl I’m planning on weaving for myself. So, nothing very exciting right now, just tons and tons of fine singles ready for 2 plies. Great practice for consistency!

I’ve had my Traverller for over 20 years, but havent used it since my husband died. I thought it was broken in some way, but luckily found the one person in my County who could check it out. He said it was good to go. Just needed oiling ! And now I need the confidence to do what you are showing us here. I’m looking forward to it ! Thank you for an easy to understand video.

@judyplater8559 6 месяцев назад

Thankyou so much I am 72 and just received a spinning wheel and I am anxious to get started I have been practicing treadling and now I am going to practice with practice yarn🤗

@diogenesegarden5152 3 года назад

So as someone who knows very little about wool, other than it comes from hairy animals and makes nice jumpers, I decided that it would be a good idea to make some yarn😂 Last year a mate gave me a bag full of fleece, this was to use around plants to deter the slugs but it didn’t work. It has been sat in the bag since so I decided I ought to spin it. Easier said than done! I made a drop spindle (Turkish) out of the wood pile and bought some cheap horse brushes to card it. Obviously with little clue about what I was doing. I posted the results of my adventures to my mates on WhatsApp, and one of them asked if I wanted a spinning wheel that his Grandad made years ago, to which I replied in the affirmative (I’m a great believer in serendipity and synchronicity). So I got it home and tried to get it up and running by tying a new drive belt. This was what you call a castle wheel I think, with a double pulley. Two pulleys, two ropes right? Wrong! I watched your vid on putting the driver belt on👍 perfect. Now to start spinning. Well as you can imagine it was a bit of a disaster, learning to walk before you run is very apropos. So this video and your other videos (and all the other people who have taken the time and effort to upload their own tutorials) have been very helpful. I have learned a lot. It would appear that the fleece I have is a bit short, so I may have to find another use for that, like felting, although it is dark brown so won’t take colour (natural dying of the yarn, no bleaches, using plant dyes and home made mordants is what piqued my interest in the first place). My mate with the fleeces also has some bags of alpaca, so I will have a go with that as it may be longer. I also bought some carding pads online, as the horse brushes didn’t work, but these were only little 4” dog brushes, but at least I know that the aim is to present the fibres to the spinning machine with the fibres brushed out and in line. It is a very interesting experience and learning curve, and your delivery and clarity of explanation, camera work and editing are superb, many thanks.

@bylindalawrence5943 9 месяцев назад

In my recent move, 2 or 3 parts to my ladybug. Spinning wheel came undone and are now missing. Spinning was my way to relax in the evening. I have looked up the parts and planned to order new ones. As soon as I can. It is so nice to be able to be productive and at the same time clear your mind of everything but what you are doing. This video is grest.

@barbm734 Год назад

This was the best starter video I've seen. Thank you for the practice tips. I'm going in to do them now! I just bought my first wheel & am driving myself insane finding the wheel spinning forward then backwards (LOL) and ending up with spun spaghetti.....now I see why. What you point out about being able to spin onto the bobbin then also be able to withdraw the yarn back really emphasized focusing on tension & I also see what I've been doing wrong. Keep these tutorials coming. :) Thanks so much.

@carolinagirl1766 Год назад

Your video is fantastic, largely due to your delightful personality. I learned and am encouraged. Thank you.

@juliapugh1159 Год назад

@brittanywinn3955 3 года назад

I have always wanted to learn how to use a spinning wheel. It is on my life's bucket list. This year I was magical gifted a little spinning wheel! I have never used one and up until I found you I was too nervous to start. Your simple, slow instructions (and cheery voice) were what I needed! I am still unsure of myself but sure enough to start exploring. Thank you SO SO much!

@JillianEve 3 года назад

You can do it! Don't give up, and keep practicing!

@soniavalenzuela6732 Год назад

Dear Eve, Thank you for this video and the wonderful manner in which you teach. I just got my very first spinning wheel (Ashford Kiwi 3) and have not started spinning actual fiber. I am still in the practicing treadling and adjusting the tension and twist phase. I am following your instructions and I am very grateful for them. Please keep making videos for beginners.

@JillianEve Год назад

You are so welcome!

@w6263 9 месяцев назад

I don't spin. But I've always wanted to know about a spinning wheel. It was completely mysterious to me how it worked. You've answered all my questions. Thank you.

@kimmitzel3393 3 года назад

Terrific step by step! I have tried to learn unsuccessfully many times over the last 5 years or so. I love how you broke it down into just practicing treadling, then practicing with yarn before adding fiber. It was so helpful.

@terrinewell3044 2 года назад

I'm so glad I found this video! I am working for the summer in an old woolen mill turned museum, and I'm trying to learn how to use a spinning wheel. So far it has only resulted in frustration. But I think your clear instructions will help.

@doriss3690 Год назад

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I've taken beginner spinning classes through our local hand spinning guild but left so confused. I finally get the tension because of this video! I've had my wheel for 8 years. I finally have a permanent home for it and want to start spinning. Thanks to your video, I have hope that I'll actually be able to make usable yarn! 😁

@knottynaz 2 года назад

Getting my first spinning wheel today at the age of 67! A long-time dream fulfilled. Merry Christmas AND Happy New Year. This absolute beginners video was the start to many a good tutorial and successful spinning. Reading your blogs, it seems one should name their wheels for a better, close relationship. I've chosen two. First is Sara for the song "Sarasponda" learned in an elementary school choir. The second is Eileen for the 1840's Spinning Wheel Song. Honestly, so I could use Dexy's Midnight Runners "Come On Eileen." 😆

My best friend bought me a beautiful spinning wheel. It is an Ashford Elizabeth. It is so pretty.. I have never spun, but now I am so excited! Your video has me so excited!! I will have to bring out my wheel and it's little chair, that came with it. I have some acrylic roving that I was told is good to play with. I don't want to play with good wool. Lol Well, not yet. Thank you for making this seem easier than I was seeing before. 🥰🥰🥰😍 I will have to upload videos as I play with my wheel. Thank you again! Shelley Stewart Aka MRS. STEWART

@margaretpretorius4786 2 года назад

Absolutely going to try know. I have the exact spinning wheel like you. At first i was shy for the older look of it... because it was bougth in a Frith shop! That's what i could afford. Never tried, but i had this eager to spin for ever! Thank you!

@daniellebissonnette3304 9 месяцев назад

What an excellent video for absolute beginners. I am considering getting my very first wheel in the next few months, and I feel like you provided just enough information to get me started. I like the low-risk approach, where you start with getting the hang of treadling, then moving up to spinning yarn, and so on. I did the same thing when my daughter lent me a spindle, and I practiced on a single Ply yarn I had in my stash. She was amazed how quickly I got that hang of spinning actual fiber after. Thank you Evie ❤

@kalokoi4229 2 года назад

Thank you for sharing your knowledge! I really appreciate it - my friend gifted me her spinning wheel and now I feel the need to learn!

@Frisby0 Год назад

After looking around for beginner spinning videos/tutorials, I finally hit gold when I found your videos, Evie! Thank you. I've loaded up 4 bobbins of yarn that I spun, thanks to you. To be clear, it's all CRAP yarn, but it's crap yarn that I spun! LOL I understand that this craft requires some patience... in the meantime, I'm practicing with your cheery voice on my shoulder, battling the Crap voice on my other shoulder.

@rebeccaclark8798 9 месяцев назад

I have been struggling with my spinning wheel. I jumped right in trying to spin fiber. I thought how different can it be from a spindle. Between your video on how to put on a double drive band and this one. I will feel confident enough to join my guild at our retreat. Your videos help me to solve lots of my problems.

I bought, stained/finished, and assembled a Kromski Minstrel around 2012 (It took just about 1 & 1/2 seasons of X-files to finish 😂). I've start/stopped the process of learning how to use it a few times over the years. But, alas, no proficiency. Oh, THE GUILT! So, I specifically subscribed w/notifications to literally shame myself to start learning, again, with a great instructor. Thank you for your excellent teaching and inspiration. ❤

@hitzchicky 2 года назад

Just finished my first bobbin! I spun up 36 grams of a single using some pencil roving I had purchased and dyed over the weekend. I tried not to focus on the consistency (or even realistically the twist), my main goal was just being able to keep the wheel spinning and to keep up the drafting. The yarn broke a few times, but with minimal waste I was able to get the fiber attached again. Because the single I spun was so dark, I think I'm going to spin a similar amount of the natural fiber and then ply them together to hopefully get a really pretty two color plied yarn. Your video was super helpful!!

@perefalc 8 месяцев назад

Thank you so much for this video. I finally bought my 1st spinning wheel & am very excited to try it out!! You are so relaxed & kind here that it makes me feel relaxed as well.

I was given a bare bones 1975-ish Ashford traditional, just like yours! Thanks to an Ashford maintenance kit, and your video on Scotch tension, I was able to make it operational again.

Thank you so much for making such an encouraging video. You do not need the music because your voice is so relaxing and yet perky...and that's what people like me like. But, always produce as 'you' see fit, lol. Continuing to watch....and WOW...one of the best videos for beginners that I've seen! Love the recommendation of using the two color loop of yarn to watch the spin. O.K., edited twice now, lol. You are beautiful! Thank you, again.

I have been fascinated by flax and linen for years. I know that good flax is expensive and difficult to find in the US, so I'm going the route if growing my own. Extreme? .... Maybe? So double drive is most likely the route I will be taking. These videos are priceless for the information they provide, but that's not the best part. Your enthusiasm makes my interest stay intact. Thank you so much for the motivation. It may take some time, but your weaving videos will be on replay when I get that far.😅

JillianEve - First, loved your video. Your presentation is welcoming and gives us permission to "not get it" right off the bat. I've been spinning for several years and have a small traveling wheel that is both cool to use and a pain in the neck. It uses a direct drive concept (no drive band) and it's really reactive to stops and starts, which can make my plies a little janky sometimes, and the wheel can get away from me very easily, very quickly. Your reminders to slow down when necessary are very welcome. Spinning should be a relaxing and contemplative activity - maybe even meditative - not stressful. Thanks for your video.

Excellent teaching video. Just teaching no frippery fill in that is not relevant to the learning. Thank you. Greatly appreciated.

Oh my gosh, your video was incredibly helpful! I have been trying to learn to spin for a few years now after I was gifted a majacraft spinning wheel. I can’t wait to watch your next video(s)🙏🏼❤️🧶

Thanks so much. I am a glass artist who can't help learning new things. I bought a loom last year and love it. I just bought a 12" used carder and my first spinning wheel, an Ashford Kiwi 3. It will be delivered this Friday. I think I will be watching your video a couple more times, and then a couple more when I get the wheel. So exciting!!!!

How exciting! I hope you enjoy your new wheel! I have a Patreon with more tutorials and lessons if that would also help you on your journey. If not, I have tons of free content on my channel too. Happy spinning! www.patreon.com/jillianeve 🌷💜🧶

oh my goodness, thank you so much for a simple but excellent explanation of how to start spinning 🙂 I've been sitting practicing with my piece of yarn, it's amazing I think I have it all together and then.....start thinking and my wheel goes backwards 🙂 I am looking forward to learning how to spin, and watching more of your videos. Thank you sooooo much for all this information

I am one of those people who _hates_ when tutorials have all these preliminary steps ... yeah yeah yeah just tell me how to spin!! But I have to admit: these exercises before I start spinning are exactly what I needed in order to make the first spinning go smoothly. As a bonus, I was able to use my practice time to ply some yarn that I haven't been able to use for knitting because it was spun the wrong direction!

1-12-23 I really enjoyed the video. Thanks so much. I’m just starting out learning to spin on my Ashford Traditional wheel. Now it’s just practicing and gaining more confidence.

Thank you so much for this video. I really struggled to learn twice over the last year. After watching this video, I now feel empowered and so much more confident. That's with only just using your technique for practicing with already made yarn!

You're such a good instructor! Found your channel via your twitter post. I'm not a spinner but you made this vid so interesting and easy to understand. What a great job!
