i absolutely love that the end of the journey was not where it was expected at the start. so often, we don't allow ourselves the freedom to play. i think that's why we all love vlogmas so much. that skein is gorgeous. it's got a little bit of a washed denim (even though not indigo) look to it for me. very comforting and cozy.

Hi Evie, thankyou so much for the Heart Reply ❤ Sending Heart back to you ❤ Happy Spinning Fibre Friend Take care and stay safe Lots of love Jen xxxx 💖 🎄 ❤❤🥰🥰🐏🐏

WOOOOOOOOOW!!!! 🤩😍🤩😍🤩😍 (that's all I have to say about this)

The finished yarn looks amazing! I'm still having withdrawal symptoms from Vlogmas too, I miss the different project everyday.

This was awesome! I really enjoyed how you switched gears and went with your idea. A few years ago, I took some lace weight yarn I had leftover from a project, a grey and a light silver, and crocheted the two strands together in a chain to make a heavier yarn. It became the purse I have been using every day for the past few years.

This was such a fun video! I giggled a few times and was smiling the whole way through. I can't believe the plying yarn was yak, as I'm struggling with the very short staple, so the hints and tips were very timely! Lots of love to you Evie. 🙏🏻🥰

I love it so much! A sweater or cardigan would be so fun

That was so much fun. I love how you are willing to change plans and be fluid with what you are doing.

This is gorgeous, I can't wait to see you make it up into a hat!

It is so beautiful!! Thank you so much for sharing your creativity! I never tried a crepe or cable yarn bur now my fingers are burning 😊 i would really like to see the hat too 😊

Thanks for sharing! I got ideas you would not believe! Oh my! People will think I am crazy!

Glad to see you changed your mind about trying the center pull ball method. I’m addicted to using that method to ply now.

It's still a method that I use, I just don't use it for all my projects. If you love it, then you ply from all the center pull balls you can spin up and don't let anyone tell you not to. 😊💜🧶

You should do like a mini vlogmas in July like how Tv channels and some stores do Christmas in July. You could do like a week long Vlogmas in july.

While playing around with my supported spindle I ended up creating a 6-ply cabled yarn (overplied chain ply, then bracelet plied on itself). It somehow turned out laceweight. Mostly I'm just thrilled to get to say I made it. XD

That was fun! Love the result & learned a bunch about multi-plies & how to accomplish them. I also got a big hint on how to manage my alpaca fiber which is very fine, lofty & very short stapled (almost 1 inch). Definitely going to try the mini rolag trick!!!

Evie, this is amazing how you can draft from that braid. Every braid I’ve ever used have been to tightly packed that I had to separate the fibre, thus loosing the colours. Have you any idea why that is? Many thanks for your time. And thank you for your expertise and generosity in your advice.

Beautiful Yarn! I have not learned to chain ply. Question? If you spin the first fiber z twist then chain ply the singles, s twist, then spin the yak z twist which way do you ply the chain ply yarn with the yak and then the next to make the 8 ply? LOL does that all make sense? You may have said in the video! Thank you

@JillianEve

2 жыл бұрын

It makes sense and I cut that from the video because it was so confusing. Here is the break down: Merino - Z; Chain ply - S; Yak single - S; Crepe ply - Z, Cable from center pull ball - S

looks great i am liking the colors. is it ok to spin yak on it own or would it be better to put it with another fiber

@JillianEve

2 жыл бұрын

Yak is a lovely and very warm fiber but is is short stapled so it takes lots of twist to keep it together. I feel like adding a ply (another strand of yak or a different fiber) keeps it more stable, but I will always say you should try it and find out what works best for you! 🧶😊💜

@@JillianEve thank you , will be getting some later this summer after there shearing , there is a farm to the west of me here in Canada

When you plied the single to the chain ply, did you do S? 3-ply was? Then making the cabled yarn was plied how? I typically spin singles Z then ply S. I’ve never done what you have and am interested on the how’s for plied cable yarns.😊

Is these the steps that it took to get it to completion ----1)spin single(colored yard), 2)chain ply (color yarn), 3)Spin Yak(whitish) 4)spin both the chain ply color and white Yak, 5) wined into a skin, 6)wined on to a winder to make balled yarn, 7) then re-spun from ball back to bobbin??? Is this the correct steps?

how did you get the spin's to get tot eh ply back part in section 16:42? that's when it started looking like a chain kind of but I wasn't sure did you repeat everything 2 times then pyied all of I together ??

Would you recommend getting the espinner for a small environment? How do I come by one and how much do they cost?

Not necessarily related, but would wet finished singles still be able to be plied, or does this need to be done before wet finishing?

Ply chicken .... That would be a Plymouth Rock?

This is so pretty and fun to watch. Would you consider making a video (or a couple) that is just terminology. Ply, batting, cable, roving, etc? Just quick explanations with an example. I imagine you have tons of footage of all these things you can use already

What are the espinner attributes

I have a question about posture, and arm , hand movements while spinning : do you ever get back pain or body pain of making the same movements for hours in a row ? Did you find an ideal posture or system ? Or is it just me being so enthousiastic and a bit “ overspun” myself 😅 that I get back and shoulder pains , because I’m so stoked to see a bobbin full…🧵⚡️
