I love the follow up, the yarn came out to well and more cohesive than I was thinking it would. The original combo spin version was how I found you in 2019 when I was learning to spin and have enjoyed watching you since. This video popped up in my feed so I figured to watch it again for old times sake 💜

Tracy, I just love your videos. They always inspire me to try things out of my comfort zone. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. You bring me such joy!🥰

Amazing video! thank you for showing this method. Cheers from Brazil💖

Bravo! I’m going to get some fiber and get spinning! Thank you 😊

I love the little whine, like there’s a mosquito who’s interested to learn about fibre!

FYI: The BFL/Kid Mohair appeared to be "compacted" rather than felted. 9/10 times, a magic trick to verify and, more importantly, fix this and will reveal they aren't actually felted is to: run the entire length of the roving through steam. I use a steam gun, but you may also use steam from a kettle. Regardless of which of the two methods you use, be very careful not to burn yourself. Anyway, back to the "magic." As soon as the steam hits the compacted roving, it will expand/puff-up/balloon. It will shock you the first time you do it.😊

Thank you Tracy for sharing your videos. It is great inspiration. Hope to see more videos from you. Please show your project with this beautiful combospin yarn.🙂

It's most helpful to see the process through to the finished swatch. Thank you.

Love this! Your original mix and spin the bits in the bag taught me how to let go of perfectionism in color combinations and I have had a blast ever since! Now what to do with all of the sweaters and wraps?! Thanks!!

Excellent video Tracy, and I love how the batts came out!

Thank you for this Tracy! Love seeing the whole process all the way to the knit swatch. Very inspiring, can't wait to try this myself. :)

Thank you for sharing your wonderful ideas and techniques! Now I want to go stash diving and try this!

Oh Tracy that turned out gorgeous! Thank you for your Neverending wealth of knowledge

Another great video. I have so many ideas now! I loved your first video and still refer to it. I have just finished spinning my latest combo spin today.

It's a brilliant idea to make a combospin more cohesive where you have such contrasting colours going on. Thank you for sharing this technique! X

Awesome technique! You’re a great teacher! The swatch looks really lovely and heathered, would make a beautiful warm jumper 👍🧶🇦🇺🌺

Fantastic outcome!

This was so awesome! The final yarn is really beautifull😍

Thank you for this excellent video🙏 You are so inspiring and I want to try it now! I loved your first video on this and discovered it when I was just learning to spin about a year ago. I shall definitely be trying this when my husband has finished the drum carder he is making for me! I love your videos🙏

Fantastic video!! Thanks for making another one. I really ought to get back to spinning and attempt my own combo spin. I have plenty of fibre ready and waiting.

This is great. I did a combination spin a while ago after watching your video, and knitted the yarn into a cardigan, it was great fun. Now I need to try this technique aswell. Thanks 😊

Excellent Tracey!!!

THANK YOU!

Thank you for sharing this video, I learned a lot! I’m really inspired to try do a combo spin :)

Great video! Thanks for sharing.

I have a “sliver” spin going from the first video technique. I will have to try this technology for the next one. Thanks for sharing!

Hi Tracy, I hope you're OK xx Thankyou for sharing this video podcast on Combo Spinning, for going through the whole process,. Your first video that you did on this, I was a New Spinner ( January 2021) using Drop Spindles, so was and am still interested in the ways to prepare fibres for spinning. The yarn and knitted swatch in this vidoe looks really nice. I now have a Blending Board and the Nano 1.1 e Wheel and i love it. Definitely will be putting the combo spin into my Spinning. Your videos are super helpful and fun. Thankyou for sharing your expertise with us. Happy Spinning. Take care and stay safe. Lots of love Jen xxxx 💖 ❤ 🐏🐏💕

Yay, yay, yay! I have been watching for this video and the swatch is soo 😍

Ah! This is fantastic! I didn't know what this technique was called! I just searched for and found your first video so I could rewatch it! Brilliant. Thank you! I think there is one more option. You could vertically strip down each braid of top and hold 2 or 3 (or more, I suppose) together as you spin. I don't have a drum carder, but I might try this with my blending board.

Danke Tracy für dein interessantes Video!!! Sieht toll aus nach dem Stricken!! Werde ich definitiv ausprobieren!!! Liebe Grüsse aus der Schweiz, Katharina 👍🥰

Wow. So educational. Way too much colour for my, but I see your point. I thought the washer was too heavy. It isn't! Very smart. Thanks.

Oooooo....! Beautiful!!!

Wish I had the smaller carder. Mine creates batts much wider. Colours are beautiful. Doll

It turned out beautiful. I watched your first video on this technique years ago as you were my first podcaster I watched and loved. Thank you for doing this. What size needles did you use for your swatch?

That’s so useful, thank you. I have one lovely gradient braid and I’m wondering what to do with it. Whether to bother trying to maintain the gradient, but I could manage to I suppose. It’s greedy grey, blending to a purple grey. I think I’m going to blend it with black and white silk blend merino top, or just black. Make my DH a scarf maybe

Beautiful! Probably too much of hassle on blending board… now I’ll want a drum carder!

Have you thoughts on what happens when mixing fibres of different crimp and staple length in your combos? Thank you

I have. So far, I have had no problems whatsoever. Mixing everything together.

I bought 100g of baby camel with the most gorgeous coloured silk blended in, but still in strips. I’m told silk tends to stay in strips when re carded, so I’m planning to blend the lot carefully with something longer staple (than the camel) in the hope the silk will still shine through in the yarn, and the camel will get blended and held together. It was so beautiful, it spoke to me, even though I knew it would be a problem!

How old is your hero? I have onetoo and it looks quite different… Love this way of blending fibres
