Lovely vlog ,, I think the orange makes all the other colours pop ,, maybe use less of it if the pattern allows but keep it in to make your item sing. Thank you for the live sheep interlude it’s good to see the different breeds in close up. 😊.

I am so glad you went to the WI Sheep and Wool Festival! My sister, niece, and I go every year. I love being able to touch everything. I actually talked to a vendor and got three Alpaca fleeces for free. I am overjoyed.

Happy surprise! You're back! Missed you. Our local fiber festival is this coming weekend. Its name keeps changing so this year its Adirondack Wool and Arts. Our guild will be spinning there both days Jen from Whispering Pines Farm (super soft Shetlands) will be there. Speaking of which I finally got brave enough to wash the fleece I got from her. Yes, you inspired me to do it. WOW! So amazing. I spun at a farm tour location today with Tunis x Finn wool that I washed at our guild's last event. So enjoyable. See you again soon.

Hi ! Please don’t think that way about getting older … I recently heard somebody say : everybody gets to be young but not everybody has the privilege of getting old ! That made me think a lot and I thought I would share ! So true ! I have missed your episodes on you tube and glad you are back !

Omg Lisa I’m so glad you’re back. I hope you had a fabulous summer. Thanks for sharing the wool festival with us. For the MAL I do love the orange but the coral beautiful and plays well with the other yarns. Also I love your haircut. It looks so good on you. Have fun in the UP and I can’t wait for your next episode.

You just popped up yesterday, finishing today.Your sample spins would be so gorgeous in a shawl either held double with some of your white handspun or that red spun with some of the locks. Finnish knitting stories has done lots ot interesting shawls. I personally am hooked on alpaca as spins so nicely,warm and soft. have socks, shawl, scarf, sweaters of handspun but used the scraps of acrylic for scrappy blanket so can toss it in washer. Since I spin for knitting a project , I use bottom whorl simple spindle doing as many plies as I want then ply directly from the spindle onto a much longer dowel spindle. My unattained goal is to not have to stop knitting and spin more. I do appreciate all your fiber showing, means I don't buy!! 12 fleeces are my limit

So happy you are back! Love all your spinning...its beautiful. Love your new hairstyle too! Enjoyed all the vendors and sheep! Fun episode 🎉

I found you channel asbout a month ago.. and you have certainly shown me a lot of things that I am relearning and lot that is so new to me.. When I learnt I had to go to groups.. as I had a hobby farm with boy own flock of melanian sheep. I made coats for my sheep..all different sizes as their wool grew..anyway thats enough from me! I am only 85 years young.. and busy now with my spinning..don’t think I’ll start weaving again though.

Aww my husband would also go shopping with me to Rhinebeck the past few years before 2020. ( not far from us). We had previously spent years we would both be working the 4h booth and had little time or cash for actually shopping it. ! Miss it all, although I'll be volunteering this year.

Thanks for sharing the footage. Loved hearing about the fleece you bought.

Thank you for sharing. For personal reasons I didn't visit any fiber fests this year. Unfortunately. Watching your video was special. ❤

I often card wool then spin “worsted”. I test elasticity after washing the yarn by bouncing the hank as one does to straighten strands B4 twisting into “knot”. This test tells me a lot about the yarn.

So cool to see you got some fleeces from Observatory Hill! I have heard wonderful things about them from Ravelry and had reached out to them to see about fleeces for sale. They have some Bond sheep descended from the moorit Bond flock imported to the US by Joanna Gleason. I didn't know they also had some of the Corriedales from Whitefish Bay. (I tried to get one of Whitefish Bay's fleeces this year and they were gone before I even loaded the page.)

Maybe you can wait to decide until his clues get to that color…. I’m one of those people that wait until the MKAL is over to decide if I’m going to make one. I tried to do one with a different designer but did not like how it was progressing. I really did not like the finished shawl that other people completed and since then have not joined into the MKALs …. To each our own, right? 😊
