Hello Friends, Welcome to Soulful Spinning, my little creative channel here on RU-vid. In this episode we take a deep dive into the origins and characteristics of the Perendale breed of sheep.
I have a final update on my Lopapeysa and show off a matching hat.
Finally, I review a classic book on knitting. I hope you enjoy!

Thank you so much Lisa for being such a beacon in the spinning community. The love you put into each episode is wonderful to witness and the respect you have for each sheep you work with is inspiring. This series is highlighting the importance of understanding the different characteristics of wool for spinners and for knitters. Each swatch has a life of its own, keep sharing your wonders and thank you for being so generous with your offerings - Alexandra.

@SoulfulSpinning Год назад

I love what you said about each square. They really do have a life of their own and I’m learning so much from the project. Intellectually by research but experimentally in the hands. Thank you 😊 💕

@LeticiaS678 Год назад

The Principles of Knitting is great! So many different cast ons, increases, and decreases. It’s one of my favorite references.

@celestegarcia486 Год назад

Am enjoying the breed study tremendously. I first discovered perendale wool when I found some yarn made with it at a rummage sale. It is lovely wool! So interesting how the different wool fibers spin up. There is always something to learn. Thanks so much! Your Icelandic sweater is beautiful! Till next time -- tail wags to all.

@sherryperry67 Год назад

I’m really enjoying the breed study, your spinning is lovely.

@carlettasantana2217 Год назад

I aspire to knit as beautifully as you do. That set is just amazing!!! I'll take a bouquet of spindles over flowers anyday!! Bless you!!

@SoulfulSpinning Год назад

Blessings right back 💕

@janetd6445 Год назад

Congratulations on your beautiful sweater and hat! It has turned out so lovely and I can see how blocking set the stitches together. The series of fibers is very interesting, thank you for putting the time into and sharing it.

I doubt I'll ever get tired of a breed study, so thank you and carry on. The sweater set is beautiful.

@VascoKnits Год назад

Thank you so much for sharing your breed study and taking us through your journey. I am finding it very interesting and very inspiring too. I have dug out my wheel that has been in hiding for over two years, and started to get aquatinted with it again. A bit overwhelmed by how much to learn one has, so much so, it has been in hiding for so long, but thank you for giving me the courage and inspiration. Thank you so much again and look forward to your next episode. Happy knitting, spinning and creating. Vasco 🧶

@wynonacarroll4362 Год назад

Once again a wonderful podcast. I have learned so much from you podcasts. Your hat and sweater are beautiful! Color work is fabulous and your floats are so perfect. Wow. Thank you for wonderful, informative podcasts.

@nikkieknits7544 Год назад

Definitely not getting tired of the bread study! I am enjoying all of this and the research you Do.. You sweater and hat are beautiful and look beautiful on you. I have decided I’m going to collect all of my odd balls of hand spun and put them all into a scrap blanket about worsted weight ish so yarns held double or single etc. it is only feb and I already have a few odd balls. And this is inspired by you and your hand spun blanket.. while not as elegant it will be cozy!.

@SoulfulSpinning Год назад

Your blanket will be amazing!

@marilyn328 Год назад

Lisa, I am so enjoying your breed study…and really..ALL your videos. Thank you so much for all your efforts in producing the videos. Your new sweater is beautiful! The pink looks perfect on you. And…love those boots! They look so warm!

@carolnash5617 Год назад

Your sweater and hat are scrumptious!! You spent a lot of time making that, so i am relieved that you are happy with them! Also... you made the comment that your viewers are probably tired of seeing you so much.... oh, no, just the opposite! I have enjoyed your podcasts for years, and it is such a treat to see you weekly!

@SoulfulSpinning Год назад

Oh thank you! Sometimes I feel like I might be losing steam but comments like your keep me going. Take care 💕

@Jillaneaj Год назад

I am enjoying your breed study so much. And you have peaked my interest in learning more about the different sheep breeds so I purchased the Fleece and Fiber book. I also purchased two Vermont spindles.

You ARE ready for the slopes! I love when you laugh at yourself. I am the same way lol. It turned out great! Looking forward to next week😀

Too bad I don’t actually ⛷️.🤪

@dollywilliams3446 Год назад

Lisa, you are an awesome spinner. I love your breed study- photos and all. I really enjoyed this episode. I’m encouraged to get my fleece book out once again. My Ex bought me the Principles of Knitting for Christmas. I love your sweater and hat- I love the colors. I wished I could wear Icelandic wool. I made an Icelandic sweater and I can’t wear it. I did however put it on for a day in Iceland a couple of years ago. That’s all I can do is look at it!😁

@SoulfulSpinning Год назад

It’s definitely something to be worn over top and only when it’s really cold. Thanks for watching!

Thank you. I’ll check it out. Doesn’t Andrea try using a belt in one of her episodes, too?

@joolsa8346 Год назад

Your jumper and hat are lovely, the colours are so pretty and fresh looking - top marks to your hubby for the pom-pom suggestion. Your perendale yarn looked marvellous and I appreciate your advice regarding it being a good fibre for beginners. I’m definitely not bored with your breed study series; in fact, I am hoping that you want to pursue it with another selection of breeds - how’s that for selfish! Best wishes, J x

That Corriedale Angora batt Lisa... oh perfection. Your sweater turned out great and I can almost feel how warm it is. I must say though that from the beginning of the video, I was admiring how lovely and classy you look in that black top you are wearing. Dark colors look so sophisticated on you. Ivana ❤

Thank you, Beautiful 😘

@heatherchilderhouse495 Год назад

Hello from the North Island of New Zealand. Really enjoy your podcast. I have spun perendale, love the springy loftiness of this type of fleece. A little difficult to purchase fleece for the handspinner, most seem to buy already carded. Can be quite expensive to get from our South Island, postage rates are high. The most common breeds that hand spinners use here would be Merino, Corriedale and Romney. Love all your spindles too.

@SoulfulSpinning Год назад

Merino, Corriedale and Romney could keep you busy for a lifetime. All beautiful breeds. I thought maybe Perendale would be easier to get where you are. Postage is very high here too.

@simonebourque1061 Год назад

You look lovely in your matching sweater and hat. Its so fun to wear our handmade knits! I knit mittens for my friend who's hands were cold while walking and a pair for my hardworking husband. You would think they won the lottery!X

Nothing beats handknits! 💕

@theshooglystitch Год назад

@christinayovovich5945 Год назад

I just received the Principles of Knitting a few days ago! I was surprised by the size, but I’m really happy to have the reference available. I’ve been learning knitting and spinning via RU-vid but it feels good to have something lower tech available as well. Love watching and learning from your podcast.

@susanb2140 Год назад

The sweater and hat look amazing! It seems like you've picked a really nice gauge to knit--I usually gravitate toward a tighter-knit fabric, but that would have killed the light, airy nature of the sweater. I agree, over time it will just get better and better as the fibers fuse and felt together. Perendale seems like a really interesting wool to try. I'd love to get my hands on a fleece. I've found that my appreciation for longwools has grown a lot since I started working with raw fleece, as I can experience their best qualites. But I'm not sure if this breed can be found outside New Zealand.

@SoulfulSpinning Год назад

There is a North American Perendale Association so they must be in the States. I have a link to that organization in the description. There may be a list if breeders there. My next sweater will have a tighter gauge I think. It’ll be interested to see how the Icelandic hold up. Thanks for watching!

@krisstark8127 Год назад

Your sweater is beautiful! I love the pink rose pattern, the hat and the chance to see it on you in the snow! Peaches is SO cute! Your Icelandic segment sent me to Hearthside Fibers where I bought what Lael had left of the black Icelandic top. You've also brought me back to the Fleece & Fiber Sourcebook! I was so glad that you showed photos of the Perendale as there were none in FFS. What cuties they are! Keep up the good work! Every segment is so educational and inspiring!

@SoulfulSpinning Год назад

Thank you. The Icelandic roving from Hearthside is wonderfully prepared and I think you’ll enjoy spinning it. Let me know how you like it!

@krisstark8127 Год назад

@@SoulfulSpinning I will, but I'm blending a whole Alpaca fleece that my cousin gave me with Merino right now. It's daunting, but SO worth it!

I am crocheting and watching/listening. I am now curious about this breed. But i love the sweater!! Bravo!!!

@jessicawright1656 Год назад

Interestingly enough, I just finished carding about 2 pounds of Perendale cross. I would say the staple length on mine ranged from 2 to 4 inches. Some bits were soft, some more medium. It's a beautiful dark brown. I can't wait to give it a go. I'm loving your breed study, not bored at all. Your sweater and matching hat came out amazing! Thanks for the effort you put into each episode. I can't wait to hear how you like the angora in your sock yarn.

So love the lopapeysa and hat on you! That cheery color will carry you through the cold part of spring and be ready for you next fall. I wonder if your book has anything about the history of knitting. In my knitting group the other night we were once again marveling and wondering about how knitting first came to be and when. I'll have to check our library for any info. Such a lot of joy centered on simple loops!

@shaunastitches Год назад

I just love this series! About a year about I bought a 30 breed sampler and you're inspiring me to do a project based on that spin...when I finally get around to it. It's so interesting to learn about each sheep breed and see your squares, they are all beautiful. Your finished sweater and hat are perfection! Looks perfect for the weather you have.

@SoulfulSpinning Год назад

The weather was short lived. It looks and feels like we are having an early spring here. If it wasn’t for the channel and commitment to the series I don’t know if I’d be able to sou all the samples. 😂 .

I always look forward to seeing your next breed study, you are so inspiring in spinning and your hanks, wow, very uniform. Your Iceland jumper is so pretty, I can't wait to see your cardigan. One question I have for The Principles of Knitting Book, what M1 doesn't cause a hole? I twist the yarn with a crochet hook before slipping it on my left needle then knit the twisted yarn to create a stitch, is there a better technique? I will be on the look out for my copy! Thanks!

@SoulfulSpinning Год назад

That’s a great question. I sometimes get a noticeable hole when I do the M1 increases into the running thread. The book covers increases quite extensively. The author states that the raised increases (also known as lifted) esp. if worked close to the needle tips is very unobtrusive. Here is a link for you. ysolda.com/blogs/journal/how-to-work-lifted-increases

It was like new, and was 2 dollars or so! I snapped it up, as I had heard it was a good book. It is waiting for me there now in the apartment with my Dad 😊 Maybe I’ll manage to get it home with me this year,

As of right now, I still have my grey Gotland to finish, and the brown corradale, and the Black Welsh Mountain. Thanks for another wonderful video,I am truly enjoying these.😊

Lovely wool, and I love how the stitches turned out in the square! I’m currently spinning some Cheviot with my newest bee-spindle (as the daughter of a beekeeper, I am On Brand! XD), and it’s really nice. SO easy to draft! I don’t knit (except on a knitting loom), but I do naalbind. My favourite book of naalbinding is, With One Needle - How To Naalbind by Mervi Pasanen. GORGEOUS pictures; easy beginners’ patterns. Great history, and several different types of stitches (there’s a mind-boggling amount of different stitches…). Great book!

@SoulfulSpinning Год назад

I think I spun a bit of Cheviot when I first bought my wheel. Thanks for the book recommendation. That craft was around long before knitting I heard.

@sondragingery5949 Год назад

i was able to purchase a nice Perendale washed fleece from the estate of a spinner a few years ago. It was a natural medium brown color. In mine there was a lot more crimp than shows in your top. It was wonderful to spin, and knit up in a nice outerwear sweater for my hubby. I have been making some blocks for a Berlinn blanket, and really like the pattern. Thank you for sharing it with us. I really like your new lopi sweater. The color is so perfect on you.

@jampotts5730 Год назад

fascinating to hear about Peren, what an incredible life and Massey has become the biggest land sciences university in NZ with campuses in both islands. Looking at that bright white corriedale I wonder if you had thought about dying it. I have played around with food colouring and have got some really lovely colours and it is a very easy process that needs either citric acid or white vinegar to fix the colour, I usually soak the wool in a vinegar solution and add citric acid to the de bath so the house doesn't smell like a pickle factory.

@SoulfulSpinning Год назад

I am thinking of dyeing the finished Corriedale yarn. I think it would take the dye beautifully.

@intuitknit Год назад

@DanaBarbieri Год назад

Thank you for all of the information on perendale. I wish I could make such pretty yarn. That book you shared is huge. I've borrowed it from the library but it just isn't for me. It felt dry and the knitting terms were outdated. I know many people find it useful though. Your finished sweater and hat are so pretty on you and the fiber batt looks so soft.

@SoulfulSpinning Год назад

I agree the book is very drive and not very conversational. But it is a quite a resource nevertheless!

Being a knitter for over 44 years, but only a spinner (since I learned from your videos circa 2021) I have yet knit my own sweater from my own yarn. I made many projects but a sweater. I wonder HOW MUCH your sweater weight? And if you tracked yardage?
