Waiting for a Bob Ross felting episode. ;)

@SpookyCats420 Год назад

Dryer balls are to tumble the clothing around to have more circulation of air throughout the dryer. The clothes dry faster basically

@recklessravenclaw990 Год назад

Fun fact : Needle felting was invented in the 1800's with the first patent for a needlepunch machine given in 1859. These machines were originally designed to make batting and insulation from shoddy (shredded woollen garments), slaughterhouse fibres and even from soldiers' haircuts.

@user-vs6uh7gc6u Год назад

Dryer balls are used in place of dryer sheets which will often leave like a silicone or plastic residue on clothes afterwards after extended use. Plus they also help dry clothes faster since it helps break up the clothes when in the dryer to help with the air flow, and yes helps with static on clothes. My gram would use some sometimes, since she couldnt use dryer sheets because of her delicate skin would be irritated by the perfumes in the stuff, same with laundry soap, would have to the gentle stuff or home made. I love using mine when I do laundry, plus much better at collecting cat hair than dryersheets since I have two cats and one is a long haired one.

@d.menace9256 Год назад

That's why people put aluminum foil balls in there , same concept

@airohwalker2478 Год назад

Also they are more eco friendly compared to dryer sheets too. I love my dryer balls. Also I just leave mine in the dryer and take my clothes out around them. It’s really convenient!

@SilentRaven8 Год назад

Plus you can add personal scents to it for the clothes!

@bobcatred Год назад

@ericrichardson3332 Год назад

I bought some of the wool dryer balls to replace my tennis balls that I used to help dry clothes faster, either one works but I think the wool is a little softer on clothes than tennis balls but they both work well

I'm a felter, both needle and wet felting and you two did a great job! There is something incredibly satisfying about the soft "crunchy" sounds the needle makes as is felts the wool. Improving my dryer balls is on my list =^.^=

@EvanandKatelynUncut Год назад

SUCH a satisfying sound!

@SandraWeierman Год назад

Here is some info I found on the interwebs. (Needle felting was invented in the 1800’s with the first patent for a needlepunch machine given in 1859. These machines were originally designed to make batting and insulation from shoddy (shredded woollen garments), slaughterhouse fibres and even from soldiers’ haircuts. It was used as an industrial method to produce a felted fabric without the usual soap and water solutions. These felting mills produced felt for a diverse collection of uses such as underlay for carpets, gaskets, dust barriers and latterly for the automobile industry producing carpets for cars. The product that we know best of all is the humble tennis ball that has a complex needle felted covering with specific aero dynamic properties. The needle felting process has been bought very much up to date with the production of Kevlar body armour and tiles for the space shuttle.)

@amelia_rose_333 Год назад

Not sure how much more needle felting you’ll be doing, but at the end of a project you can take tiny scissors and trim off all the fuzzies for an extra clean look (perfect for the catctus and a space helmet.) and also can cut a shape out of a felt sheet and then stab that on to the body (good for parts like the door to the catctus and eyes.)

@jankitt Год назад

Yarn balls also work great for felting bases, and you can wrap yarn to make whatever shape you want to speed it up, too! Plus, my cats love a yarn ball that I tie off and felt together so it has a tail and won't come unrolled.

@shadeyrain4259 Год назад

If you ever do more needle felting, here's a couple tips: The wool balls are a great base for anything ball-shaped, but if you want something cheap as a base to felt on, use polyfill or quilt batting to create non-circular bases and save on colored wool. The polyfill will take longer to felt, but it WILL get firm. Second tip: You can use felt sheets from the craft sections/stores to get a REALLY smooooooth finish to a felted peice. I'll use it to make unique shapes like eyes or mouths, or large sections of the same color. Happy Felting!

@maryssa_sings Год назад

The Joob-in-space helmet could become a doll! Use another laundry ball, add some stumpy cones for the arms and legs and a tube tail, and then put a 'scarf' of more wool around the join between the helmet and body to stab them together.

@jess2obsess Год назад

Storytime: I've been struggling with making art for almost a year now and have had some very bad and complicated feelings about it. Today when I sat down with an idea and a lot of determination, I decided this would be the perfect cozy hangout vid to draw to. And I was right! It was nice and soothing and funny when I was getting frustrated, and it was good company when things were going well, and for the first time in many many months I've been able to produce more than a scribble AND I am really happy with how it's turning out! So thank you guys for providing good vibes and crunchy ASMR and wholesome laughs, I really appreciate it. 💕

@purplebec9112 5 месяцев назад

Same thing with me only I do alot of hobbies. I learned how to crochet, how to knit, learning different languages, how to play piano, and now I know how to sew, all in that time frame of getting to know these guys and watch them but with that said it makes me happy that you found a passion like drawing, I tried it and I'm not good at so I'm so jealous when people are good at drawing.

These uncut streams are always my favorite(even then uncut gaming), I'm so used to spending a good hour or two with you guys that normal content seems way too quick now

@StarGazerSkys Год назад

I love having the streams on in the background as I craft

@janboll7174 Год назад

I think of uncut as normal - and way more interesting. I find the edited versions so boring.

@laurens3857 Год назад

Yes, laundry balls are used in place of dryer sheets as a more reusable alternative and to avoid potential waxy residues or reduced absorbency of towels while still reducing static. I have them because one pack of dryer balls is cheaper than buying dryer sheets every so often over the next 5-10 years.

@laurens3857 Год назад

Edit: I’ve found if the clothes get dry fast and keep drying for a while the static can actually like build up or something and the clothes come out staticky but usually it’s no big deal. It’s only happened to me once or so in the past year or two and it’s because I kept drying it to keep wrinkles away while I was busy.

Love how much work Evan put into miniaturizing the Supurrrvisor image, all the while WEARING THE SHIRT WITH THE SAME IMAGE and it took my eyes like a second and a half to figure it out why I kept seeing the image twice.

When Avan goes "Aaaaaah" at the end of the "What I ordered and what I received" sketch RU-vid auto-generated subtitles display it as [Music] and that is beautiful.

@creativemewzings5320 Год назад

Dryer balls are wet felted so they’re a little tough to stab. The trick is to get good core wool for the base that builds fast and is easy to connect the silkier wools to.

@sofieg7581 Год назад

dryer balls are usualy light weight and made of a softer material. they tumble with your clothes in the dryer while they dry. the heat and the tumbling helps to prevent wrinkles on your clothes. when your clothes come out the dryer and are still hot, fold or hang them right away to prevent wrinkles. this only works with certain types of clothing and certain settings on your dryer.

If your separating fibres to felt then pull apart gently with your hands spread wide down the length of the fibre. If you pull close together it either won't separate or it'll rip the fibres

"Felting has been around since the Neolithic period, and samples of felting date back to the Bronze and Iron Ages. Felted creations were used to keep people warm and dry during a time when knitting wasn't yet invented!"

@kkcliffy2952 Год назад

This is a great idea for beginning needle felters! I exclusively use dryer balls instead of dryer sheets and made a couple of mine by needle felting some plain wool.

@ithulah Год назад

You should make a set of good quality felting needles with handles made from RESIN!

@bendeywendy8065 Год назад

Great idea. It would need to be a needle holder, not a handle though. The needles break easily so you need to be able to swap them

If you want carding tools (the brushes for mixing wool), just buy two big dog slicker brushes. Carding tools are exactly the same, but cost 5 times more

My best friend's husband hates cats. And for many years I would gift him funny cat themed gifts. One Christmas, I gathered car fur-I had a long hair silver Persian, and the felting cats with fur for beginners and a good ol amazon amateur felt tool set. So, funny, he too has the cat felting book in his library. 🤣

To separate the roving wool it’s much much easier to do it when holding the wool further back, further back than the staple length so that it can easily come out

@anastasiamw1249 Год назад

The wet felting I did was horrible, you layer felt in different directions in between 2 pieces of cotten and then use a water and soap solution and then rub the fabric in circular motions which felts the felt together and you have to keep rubbing it until the cotton easily peals off without sticking to the felt. Doing this literally took the skin off my hands and made them bleed in high school 😂😂

@SamDubois-sl5rq Год назад

Dryer balls are used to replace dryer sheets because dryer sheets deposit a lawyer of wax onto your clothes, which is how they end up feeling softer.

According to a quick google search needle felting is approximately as old as knitting and existed in the Neolithic period around the Bronze and Iron Age. About 4000-5000 BCE. And some time in the 1800s (some sources say 1859) was the first needle felting machine.

@zenetyler3989 Год назад

Someone's probably already said it, so apologies if this is repetitive, but this seems to have been bothering Katelyn for a while so I thought I'd try to explain. The reason (or one of the reasons) for the difference in pronunciation with insane/insanity and opaque/opacity is because insane and opaque end with an e, while insanity and opacity do not. The presence or absence of a terminal e generally changes the pronunciation of the last audible vowel in the word (the u in opaque doesn't count because it's only there because of the q and isn't audible). Great video though, I never would have thought of using wool balls for felting!

@sarahnovak9554 Год назад

A laundromat owner put tennis balls in my dryer for me to help my bed sheets dry in a reasonable amount of time so I didn't have to pay for 2 or 3 drying sessions. When I got my own dryer I bought my own dryer balls. They live in the dryer. After folding laundry I just throw the balls back in the dryer until next time. They really do help with dry time on large items. But it does increase the volume of the dryer.

Evan mentioned peach tea. I order Torani Syrup from eBay as: 1 - no store near me has the flavors I used to by and 2 - You can get over 15 flavors. I buy Peach and Raspberry for my black tea and I use Hazelnut, Chocolate, Irish cream and Carmel for my coffee. You don't need much to flavor your tea or coffee. The syrup may cost a bit more than the store but you get the 750ml bottles (I keep the ones I got at the store and just refill them from the bigger ones. I make a label for the flavors - just the flavor name - and add to an old bottle for any flavors I didn't have previously; just use good clear packing tape to cover the label.)
