Thank you for allowing us into the combing session. It helps to see someone do the process.

@carolnash5617 Год назад

1. I can smell those lilacs! 2. Your husband could make some extra cash on ETSY making those leather covers for combs... just sayin'.... 3. Dont ever apologize for clutter.. we all have it 4. I have a rigid heddle loom, maybe around 28 in.... i have used it for neck scarves... using up stash of hand-dyed sock yarn, same for both warp and weft, really nice plaid! 5. If Kate makes a cake on her channel, good chance it is by Mary Berry... she mentions her often! Great episode!

@jamiethrogmorton2540 7 месяцев назад

Re the extra skein of the weft yarn, how about a matching hat! Use the warp for some colorwork or as part of the brim etc. Great outfit!!

@sherryperry67 Год назад

Loved this episode so very much! I am sure Mary Berry would be proud! 🥰

@ellenhenrie4826 Год назад

Always a treat to spend a peaceful hour with you, Lisa. I'm sure you'd get a Paul Hollywood handshake!

@woolinmypocket1347 Год назад

That fleece is amazing! I wish I could get something like that in the UK. Thank you for another lovely video, just the balm my mind needed

@amycole8974 Год назад

A lovely hour spent, watching and knitting.

@SoulfulSpinning Год назад

Thanks for visiting, Amy! 🤗

@jillanncook9537 Год назад

The biggest smile came to my face, when you showed us your ridged heddle loom! I have a 16” Samplelt loom which has yet to see its first warp. I’m also in the process of renovating my upstairs to make a really cozy “one project at a time” area and I have moved all my tools and stash to the basement. I am really interested to see how you design your basement. I like how Sara Howard and the lady from Maine organized their areas. Your sponge cake looked yummy! Have a super week!

@SoulfulSpinning Год назад

You too Jill! I hope you get that loom warped up soon. That’s the trickiest but for me so far. 🥰

@wendyhumphreystebbutt5782 4 месяца назад

What gorgeous corriedale woollen spun wool! I really appreciated the tour of your laundry / stash room. I can see one counter top in our laundry room will make a great space for storing stash and spinning tools. My hubby never uses the tools he has stashed on the counter, so I think it’s time to send it to his main tool storage / work bench in the furnace room :-)). Yours in Gratitude

@sdicato Год назад

Another wonderful episode. I’m from Ohio but live in South Carolina. Lilacs don’t do too well here. A neighbor down the street has one though and every year I have to smell the flowers. It brings me back.

@SoulfulSpinning Год назад

It was a coincidence! I didn’t realize it was this weekend. How funny! I’ll have to catch some of the fanfare. 🇬🇧

@sunrhyze Год назад

Best baking show ever! I will say I find most written recipes for baked goods to be too low in salt for my taste, so I'm very bold about adding some, and I also taste my batter before baking to make sure everything seems right. Missed the weekly sighting of Peaches.

@SoulfulSpinning Год назад

You know after I posted I realized my girl didn’t make an appearance. That will be remedied! I thought my cake was a bit bland. I’ll def try to improve the flavor with lemon or vanilla next time.

@thelasthomelyhouse Год назад

Hi! What a lovely mixture of crafts! The cake looks wonderful! And as for 'how does Kate do it'? well - lots of editing - LOTS of editing! You're doing just fine I'd say! Kate xxx

@SoulfulSpinning Год назад

Dear Kate! If you only knew how thrilled I am to see your comment. 🤗 Your channel is the absolute best and so inspiring. You’ve motivated me to dust off my sewing machine! You created such an easy welcoming space on your channel and I appreciate that I have a huge back log of episodes to keep me company. Take care and I hope you are in good health 🥰.

@leslieambailey Год назад

I love the shawl! Have fun twisting the fringe. You inspire me to get out some scoured fiber and get to the combing… 🤔 Hope you enjoyed your beautiful cake during some coronation viewing! Thank you for another wonderful podcast, Lisa 🐑🧶❤️

@SoulfulSpinning Год назад

Thank you, Leslie! One end has all the fringe nicely twisted. Today I hope to get the other and into the wash. Can’t wait to see it done ✅. Take care beautiful lady. Lisa xx

@timothychandler1725 Год назад

I was told to save my egg shells them up and add them in my flower 🌼 beds to keep the slugs away. So, your card samples look great 👍 and now put them in a little zip-up jewelry bag for your scapebook. Walmart has these bookcases that are cubs and they hold totes nicely for organic things. Just check them out sometime while shopping 🛍 😊. I got a 9 cub one to hold carders and many of my spinning tools on top and my home spin skins of yarn. On the bottom, my totes of fibers.

@SoulfulSpinning Год назад

I am so bad at keeping up with my scrap book! I’ll check out the cubby idea. I have a feeling your making supplies are very organized. 😀 We eat a lot if eggs here, so I will take your advice. We were just working on the garden this morning!

@carolmumberson4664 Год назад

I so love your videos Lisa, everything you do is so interesting . The cake looked wonderful. Looking forward to your next episode 🧶 😊

I loved this dear Lisa.... and that shawl is just stunning. Kisses. Ivana ❤❤❤

@YarnNYarns Год назад

Oh my goodness your woven fabric is just beautiful, and that little peek of Santa as the final bit came off the loom made me chuckle. I'm working on some Latvian mitts at the moment that are just driving me potty as they are just so slow to knit, so thank you for keeping me company and distracting me from my frustrations with them. That cake looked soooo good

@gabischnell3196 Год назад

Delightful video, thanks Lisa, funny baking show and a fine cake 👍🤩 see you

@SoulfulSpinning Год назад

@tranquilily Год назад

Wow, my mom just bought me some kind of yarn spinning contraption from the thrift store and I had no idea what to use it for. Turns out it's a fringe spinner! Thanks for sharing your tool collection :)

@liadanmakes Год назад

Lovely to see what you're up to and your cake turned out beautifully! I have an EEW 6.0 and I love it. I live in a small apartment and I have bad knees, so spindles and espinners are perfect for me. Thanks as always for the great video!

@kathleencook9186 Год назад

I can't wait to see your lime green mittens. Love the colors in your shawl! Sometimes I put things on the loom and weave until I run out of warp and then decide what it will be. I wove what I thought were going to be placemats once and even did hemstitching between the mats but somehow miscalculated and I finally decided to turn it into a shawl. I get lots of compliments on it and try not to tell people I'm wearing placemats, lol. I think I need to go bake something now. Thanks for a fun episode!

@SoulfulSpinning Год назад

I like that approach to weaving! It is so satisfying when I took it off the loom. I can’t believe I made that with string! Thanks for coming back for a visit. 😍. Take good care of yourself and all the best to you for the coming week!

@mywoolmitten Год назад

Well, just what I needed - a visit with you and your projects ❤ Thank you so much for the mention, and I think it's very fitting that you're using Corriedale for your mittens ❤

@CheapEngineerCrafts Год назад

My EEW6 is my first ‘wheel’. I love being able to concentrate on drafting since I’m a novice. I’ve only spindles up to now. I do see that a treadle wheel is good for varying the speed as needed.

@lindaholmes1920 Год назад

What a lovely hour I just spent with you! You’re really rocking that retirement now, what with the fibre crafts, the new loom, and now baking 😁. I must admit to being a little envious, as my retirement won’t happen for a while yet, and I have way too many hobbies! The cake looks fabulous.

@susanjanemay5713 Год назад

Love, love, love it! Love the baking - I am inspired to try this recipe (my cakes traditionally come out like two pieces of mdf board...) so fingers crossed over here 😄🤞🏻 Love the spinning and yarn part, as always, and you did it, you made me laugh out loud again about buying the new loom 😄 Such a delight, such a lovely episode, thank you so much for doing these podcasts, they're always a real treat to watch x 😊

@SoulfulSpinning Год назад

Hello Susan! Thank you so much. 🤗

@dianaw9829 Год назад

This was a delightful video! I truly enjoy listening to you while I knit (and enjoy my coffee in the morning!), but I actually stopped knitting to watch your baking! I also love the British Baking Show, and just discovered the American version, with Paul and Prue. I’ve made the lemon drizzle cake, inspired by Mary Berry-she’s fantastic! 🤝 Here’s the handshake you deserve!!

@SoulfulSpinning Год назад

Lemon Drizzle cake sounds yummy and perfect for this time of year! I love to bake and even things that don’t turn out quite right are almost always delicious. My cake disappeared which is the best compliment. Thanks for your kind words. It makes me so happy you enjoy the channel. Take care, Lisa 💕

@mandamadeit3710 Год назад

That shawl is gorgeous!

@SoulfulSpinning Год назад

Thank you. I’m working on the braided fringe today. Can’t wait to see it after washing!💕

@houselabelfibres4758 Год назад

Hi Lisa, lovely podcast as always ❤ I’m a knitter, spinner, fleece hoarder, yarn dyer and because of you recently taken up learning the piano. I have purchased the Yamaha CLP745 and I’m slowly getting to grips with it. So nice to see snippets of your day, the Victoria sponge looked delicious 😋

@SoulfulSpinning Год назад

I am so happy for your piano purchase! I hope you enjoy playing as much as I do. Always good to hear from another fleece lover!

@catardif4158 Год назад

I bought the Ashford E Spinner 3 last year for plying, because my great grandmother’s flax wheel only has one small bobbin - and that is my only other wheel. :)

@SoulfulSpinning Год назад

I love the e spinner for plying! Lovely little machine. How wonderful to have your great grandmother’s wheel! 💕

@editekeditek8600 Год назад

Merci 💗🐑

@janatherton9194 Год назад

I have the same Ashford e-spinner as you and a Lendrum DT treadle wheel, I like the Ashford for plying, or spinning thicker yarns and I prefer the Lendrum for spinning finer yarns, e-specially long draw and spinning from the fold. Caster sugar is a very finely ground white sugar, but I like baking with the golden granulated sugar for lots of things too - it makes lovely shortbread!

@SoulfulSpinning Год назад

I feel the same about my e spinner and Lendrum as well. Isn’t great we have both tools for the job! I’m going to try scones this weekend but shortbread sounds so yummy, too.

@deborahbush6183 Год назад

@jampotts5730 Год назад

seeing that lovely lilac at the end reminded me of a cabin boy knits video where he shows how to dye yarn with the plant, 3 different colours from different parts of the plant, fascinating, Your tree is probably a bit too small and precious to be lopping loads of flowers off it.

@SoulfulSpinning Год назад

It is tiny! Thanks for spending time with me. 💕

@jessicawright1656 Год назад

Your woven shawl turned out lovely! I have a 4 harness floor loom that i use for weaving kitchen towels. I need to get another warp on there. I learned how to comb wool during the pandemic. I find combing relaxing, more so than carding. I like your cake and i can almost smell those lilacs!

@SoulfulSpinning Год назад

I find combing wool to be very relaxing, too. Very meditative and those little perfect nests are so satisfying to make. The lilacs smell divine. I wish I could bottle up the scent. Thanks again, Jessica for visiting. 🤗

@carolyndunsmoor2358 Год назад

I have the Cake Bible. My granddaughter and I have enjoyed using it. Well, maybe we have more fun with the frosting tips… lol

The chocolate torte from the book is a favorite here. So much do that the pages are stained. Lol.

@newdorogallagher2882 Год назад

Lisa, lovely video again. My fleece processing became better even though my fleeces are not as clean as yours when you get them. As for sugar. It is a difference; in Europe sugar is made from sugar beets in the States it’s made from sugar cane. When I started baking here people “complained” that my baked goods are not sweet enough.

@sondragingery5949 Год назад

Depends on where you are in the US - Much of the sugar here is also from sugar beets. I used to live near a sugar processing plant in Michigan. You could tell when they were cooking the sugar down, the smell was distinctive.

@SoulfulSpinning Год назад

I didn’t know that! I’ll have to search out beet sugar. As always thank you for keeping me company!

@newdorogallagher2882 Год назад

@@SoulfulSpinning white beets are lighter in color, the other use of these white beets (mostly from leaves) it to marinade some kind of animal feed, it’s very nutritious for animals in the winter.

I would love to see that bright pastel colored woven piece your planning on your new loom. And would like to see perhaps the loom in action. I'm curious 🧐 about one.

@linbatey2053 Год назад

If I’m using chemical dyes, I dye using dirty fleece that has been soaked overnight in cold water. I add vinegar to the dye bath which helps the fleece absorb the dye and cleans at the same time. Saves water and another process. Try using grey or fawn fleece, this will give you a lovely saddened colour. My preferred method is an old slow cooker, about 200 grams of fleece and bring up to simmer and leave on low setting for a few hours. Sometimes I really cram a lot of fleece into the slow cooker, so it has a few patches, which when carded, takes on a tweedy look. I hope that helps and happy dyeing.

@SoulfulSpinning Год назад

This helps a lot! Sounds easy to do and I have lots of fawn and great fleeces to play with. The cold soak is something I do anyway as it gets most of the dirt out. Thank you. 🥰

@robertastewart2083 Год назад

You did a great job making a Victoria Sandwich! Perhaps unsalted butter may have been a better choice as American self raising flour contains salt and English self raising flour does not. So glad you didn’t spoil it by adding vanilla!

@SoulfulSpinning Год назад

Thank for the suggestion. I don’t usually use self rising in my baking but since Mary has it in all the recipes, I purchased it. I look forward to trying more recipes from the book. Maybe I’ll make my own self rising flour. 🤔

@darlenesmith9542 Год назад

Hi Lisa 👋 Your beautiful yellow roses need those gorgeous lilac flowers beside them!🎉 The Victoria cake looks so yummy! I love British shows too! Im not a weaver ( probably the ONLY Rabbit hole Ive not gone down 😅), but your shawl looks so cozy and the material is rich in color! You will get a lot of use out of your new loom! Never apologize on your investments of mental health😂❤ Enjoy your Day!

@thepiaknits Год назад

Hello Lisa, nice to see you again 🙂 Your woven shawl looks very elegant. A shawl always comes in handy, not only during autumn and winter months, I think. Knitting mittens is on my to do-list… I have never tried it, so it’s time to have a go at it. Good idea to start now so that your mittens will be finished when it gets colder again. Your Victoria cake looks delicious! Well done! Have a cosy Sunday and see you next time 🌷

@pathowes32 Год назад

My grandma used to make a cake that looks just like the cake you made and she called it a George Washington cake. It was delicious. I only have a Hansen electric spinner and many drop spindles to spin my fiber. Originally I had a single treadle Ashford Traditional. I couldn’t get it to work smoothly even though I had it tuned up and took a few lessons. I am very happy with my Hansen. What is the white fiber you are spinning for mittens? Very nice

@SoulfulSpinning Год назад

Hi Pat! My wool is Corriedale. I’ve heard such good things about the Hansen. 🥰

@louiseedsall6096 Год назад

Love this video! What kind of loom do you recommend? I would love to begin but want to do shawls or even wider- where do I begin to learn?! You have inspired me into drop spindle but I’m learning the wheel too. Thank you for an enjoyable time with you

@SoulfulSpinning Год назад

Hello Louise! I pretty new to weaving but I’ve read and seen many videos using a 32 in ashford for shawls, though I have the 25 in Schacht Flip which I love. It made a generous width. You might want to check out a channel I found recently. Her name is Curly-n-Yarny. I just watched her weave a baby’s blanket on her 32 in. There are many more great RU-vidrs who weave. I am not necessarily the best person to ask. Do your research and you’ll find the perfect loom for you. Take care and thanks for watching. 💕
