Hello friends! The past year we have created... a lot of leftover / scrap fiber. So as a final video this year we will try to deplete my scrap fiber stash by making some sock yarn out of it!
The main fiber used to create this yarn and chief lanolin supllier is some spotted sheep fleece, blended with some colourful naturally dyed flemish sheep wool.
As the end of 2022 is coming rapidly I take the time in this video to look back on the journey this channel has made up until this point. I am forever grateful for all you guys sticking around!
If you enjoy spinning, yarn, knitting, fiber arts or any other traditional craft then this channel is right up your alley. Maybe you could hit that subscribe button?

Your relaxed, no fuss style inspired me to add spinning to my own fibre shenanigan repertoire. I love that you edit your content into practical bite sized snippets of your your fleece to finished garment. The way you weave a little history and ethics into your marker content sets you apart from other makers. You remind me each fortnight that makers created our civilisations and shaped our world more than any famous leaders or warriors ever did.

As I watch the video, you're up to 920 subscribers, that's amazing! As far as content goes, I believe I first saw one of your videos on dyeing with natural materials, and that's definitely something I would love to see more of. Vintage patterns are really fun and I think that if you have many skeins that seem to match each other fairly well, it would be a good use of them to make a larger garment than "just" socks, although socks are fantastic as well. You have so many bats that you could probably do both!
@MijnWolden
@MijnWolden Год назад
There certainly will be more dyeing in 2023! And yes, that was what I thought as well, if the skeins were all very different, socks made Sense... But now I have so much of the same colour I feel like it should be bigger 😁

There's a beautiful Danish shawl of ravelry from 1897 - Kællingesjal 1897 by Mette Rørbech on Ravelry - that I would recommend if you want something historical that isn't a sweater! I'm currently making my second one, I love it so much. I feel like it would suit handspun yarn really well, since most of it is in garter stitch and it'll show off some of the variations in the yarn itself really well. It is definitely weird there wasn't more yellows and oranges in your finished skeins!! I really loved the look of that first Batt you made, it reminded me of like a rocky canyon wall 🥰 congrats on almost 1000 subscribers in just half a year!! There's still time for a few last minute additions to get you there, so I hope that happens ❤

They're looking fabulous! I do think that kind of moody grey looks great with patches/stripes of the most intense colour, eg red, blue, yellow, like when the sun hits a building that's surrounded by storm clouds. Perhaps socks with just a couple of random neon yellow stripes, or a felted scarf with some roses. Re 2023 projects in general: I'd be very interested to see you explore different ways to achieve a stated end result - something artistically broad, I mean. Being artistically rudimentary myself, it helps me to see others' thought process and outcomes.

I've been saving all my thrums (waste threads from weaving) and waste wool fibre for an epic recycled tweed. My fitbit used to count steps based on my arm movements as I spun with my drop spindle, but it does not work with the espinner. Ik wist dat 'mijn' een voornaamwoord was, omdat ik heb Nederlands gestudeerd bij Duo. Ik leerde voor het eerst Vlaams in de jaren 80 omdat mijn schoonouders in Aarschot wonen. Nu leer ik Nederlands omdat het goed is voor mijn hersenen. Ik zou graag meer weven zien, ik hou van weven. Wensen voor een gelukkig nieuwjaar.

I've been enjoying your videos! I'm glad I found your channel. I have a question about making socks from pure wool. I have been told that one should use sock yarn that contains nylon so as to make the socks hold up to wear and tear. I have also been told that if you don't use sock yarn with nylon, then the socks will felt and/or fall apart quickly. However, I have sock weight yarn in 100% wool that I have been wanting to use for socks yet have hesitated due to these suggestions. I'm wondering, then, what's your opinion on this? Since you spun sock yarn without nylon, have you noticed 100% wool socks are actually durable? Am I safe to knit socks in 100% wool? Thank you for reading this long question!

Of all the socks I knit up until now, none have felted or worn away. But I am aware this is an advice that is given a lot, so there must be some truth in it. But nylon is a modern invention while socks are not... My husband and I are avid hikers, and the best hiking socks are still plain wool socks. Felting isn't all that bad for socks when hiking either, then they're molded to the shape of your feet. And when they wear through there's always darning 🤷 I would say not to be afraid to use your yarn, but I'm no expert, just someone who really loves wool socks 😅

Never apologise for more than one comment, it drives the engagement of the video up ;) funny how stitch names can differ so much. "knit forward and backward", when I knitted from the 1902 'second book of hows' it was "knit plain and purl"... to now just knit and purl :D

@@MijnWolden yes i like the historical descriptions even if they are sometimes hard to understand. All seemed so practical. "Do it so it fits your shape and taste"
