Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
All about hand spinning yarn, knitting, owning a wool mill, farm life and everything in between.
In this episode we dive into Romeldale/CVM ,the sheep breed and the wool. I share wool processing videos of it from washing through carding in the wool mill. Plus I review options for storage bobbins as discussed in the comments by viewers and a follow up on some support spindle questions. Finally a quick update on some new items in the online shop.

Hi Kim, thanks for answering the two cob question. The fiber that you are processing looks very yummy!
You’ve become a wonderful storage bobbin convert, yay!

With your help Sandy!
Hi Kim! I just got home to county Clare today, & the lambing is over. Had some sad losses, but of course also some happy outcomes, like a set of very healthy good sized triplets. There were only 2 or 3 ewes who needed help, which was great. Nice to settle in with an episode from you on my first night home 😊

Absolutely! Thanks for watching and commenting!!! Keeps me going.
I think for the extra bobbins, if you have a Hansen e-spinner, it comes with or you buy it extra, apointed metal piece that fits into the orifice. Then you can slide a paper thing or the little plastic or wooden bobbin , take the tension off the flywheel, and wind your yarn onto it very quickly.

That's great!
Love learning about the different wools ❤️ Have you got any further planning the spin-along/ spin-to-knit? The shipment you sent is now on the way from Oslo, so I should have it in a few days! Yay!😄
