Yes, please! Book reviews would be amazing. And, as a woman with many chronic pain and energy issues, you do you! You must take care of yourself first and foremost! I support your privacy and healing time. I will be here whenever you are able to post more videos, but no pressure. It is self-care time!

I have very painful health issues as well which I was born with. They, so my doctor assured me (!), will only get worse!! This is my challenge and I work with my body and do what I can when I can. So, I agree with you, and anybody else with health issues, I say take care of yourself and listen to your body.

Book reviews would be great! As a librerian spinning, this would be the best of two worlds for me😃

This was the clearest and most detailed explanation of ratios and how to use the whorls to achieve the yarn you want. Take care of yourself, and look forward to seeing your next podcast whenever you are able to film.

Light love and health to you -- I hope you feel better soon. And yes, I would watch the HECK outta book reviews. I got "Women's Work" on your recomendation

Book reviews would be great! Also including general spinning/weaving/fibre art, as you come across them. I know I have bought a few that I've regretted but in general I love to add to my library! And I'm so sorry to hear of your health issues. Your videos help me cope with my own health issues and I love to see my mentor's lovely face! Take care of yourself, love. We have an extensive library of yours for when we need an Evie fix. 🙏🏻🥰

YES TO THE BOOK REVIEWS!!!!!!!!

Thanks for encouraging me to try the high speed whorl my husband gave me for Christmas if I make sock yarn again. I’m praying about your health journey and care about you very much even though we’ve never met!

Thanks Evie! I've been binge watching your videos lately and I've enjoyed every single video. Please take care of yourself... health comes first. Everything else can wait.

Your health is important take are of yourself. I have a Canadian Production spinning wheel and I also have an Ashford e-spinner. Listening to you regarding your spinning ratios have been so helpful in my spinning. 🥰🧶

Nice video. I think it was in “Respect the Spindle” where I read that we lose 1/3 of the twist when we ply. So, having some degree of over twist in singles is not a bad thing. The author also wrote something to the effect that …having ‘pigtails’ on your spindle is OK.

Yeeees I totally want book reviews!

I am one of those people who set the wheel and then left it there!! Thanks for challenging me to explore more!

Oh my goodness. Where has this video been all my life?is this the best single spinning video I have ever seen? Quite possibly.

I'm really sorry about the health issues, I know that pain very well. Sending all the good vibes I can so you can get to your most comfortable and painless self as soon as possible and able to do all the things you want, and in the meantime I hope those sponsors can give you the time you need to rest. Seeing your videos lights up my day, but being healthy is most important! I wish slowing down the speed on my spinner gave me thicker yarn, but all I seem to get is yarn that immediately gets thin again and that I have to hold back for ages until it builds up enough twist T.T

Yes, yes please on the book reviews! 😍

I would absolutely love to see you begin a book review...just one more thing to deepen our appreciation for fibers and history of clothing. Just keep your health at the forefront of your plans!! Love your videos...

I love learning about history through basic skills and crafts that people had to do to make life function before the industrial age. So book reviews would be amazingly helpful.

Thanks Evie, this has been so helpful. I've been a "set it and forget it" spinner on my largest whorl. This experiment will be fun to play with. Take good care of yourself.

Re Book Review: YES, Please! I'd love your perspective on "The Fabric of Civilization: How Textiles Made the World" by Virginia Postrel, or "Shoddy: From Devil’s Dust to the Renaissance of Rags" by Hanna Rose Shell. Awesome talk on whorls! My Ashford traditional (Emma), is from 1975 but i use my Rappard We'Peggy most because Peggy is easier to move around. Hope things get easier for you in the real world, because you're right; Fiber friends, ARE the best friends

I wish you well 😢. I saw you made it in the Spin-off magazine 😊. Thank you for this lesson video, and I need to try it with my spinning wheel.

Thank you so much first month spinning, so helpful❤ feel better soon

Yes I’d love the book reviews! I love history, and especially when it intersects with other interests like textiles and fiber crafts!

Yes please book reviews! I have the Kiwi 3. I have all the whorls for the Kiwi 3. I only use 1 setting lol. I really need to experiment with all the other settings. I need more studying!!! 😂

In my kiwi3 I use the smallest whorl groove with the largest drive wheel groove, the middle with the middle drive wheel groove and the largest whorl groove with the smallest drive wheel groove. It works great for me😊 Happy spinning😊

Take care friend! Sending happy, healing vibes.

Yes, yes, yes to the book reviews!

Definitely interested in jillianEve book reviews, please! I am learning so much here! All the best to you! 🌻

YES please to book reviews! I LOVED that you mentioned the Valkyrie's loom - I listened to podcasts after this mention! :) Excellent information as usual in an accessible way :) I really hope you rest and recuperate and feel much better soon xxx

All Read for the book Reviews! My Spinning Wheel was second hand and I got her from the original Owner and it's Double Drive and I named her Elizabeth.

So happy to see a new video. Take the time to tend to your needs, we will wait. Sending healing energy!

I love this video! I watched a Margaret Stove video and she suggested if you break a single don’t stop the wheel abruptly, let it slowly stop on it’s own. That way the broken end is usually loosely sitting on top and easy to find. I’ve found that super helpful too.

So good to see you back! I was worried about you! Please take the time you need to rest. Yes please to book reviews! Thank you for all your work. I have learned so much from you!

Take care of yourself. Thank you for this info just what I was wondering about. We will be here waiting for you WHY because you're worth it.

Whatever health difficulty you are going through, my best wishes and hope you recover soon. Your health comes first. This video is very useful. I have only had my Ashford Kiwi 3 wheel for few months and the whorl has 3 grooves. I've been using it in the larger diameter groove. The large wheel also has 3 grooves and I have it in the middle groove. I'm very new at spinning in a wheel, though I've spun in spindles for 6 years. I'm planning to spin in all the combinations of ratio, I can do with this wheel. Experimenting is fun. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

I, too, have the kiwi3. I use the small whorl groove with the large drive wheel groove; the middle whorl groove with the middle drive wheel groove; the largest whorl groove with the smallest drive wheel groove. I find these work nicely for me and don’t overstretch my drive band😊 Happy spinning😊

I’m sorry about your health issues! I’m recovering from a stress induced petit mal seizure, and I’ve been spinning so much yarn! It has really helped my brain heal. If spinning helps you heal, you do you! We will be here for you.

I’m sorry you are unwell but thankful that you are hopeful for healing. I am praying for your health and wellbeing 🙏🏽💗 Also! I would love fiber related book reviews! I have also read and listened to Worn. It was deep but very good. A few other recommendations are: “Prehistoric Textiles” and “Women’s Work”, both by Elizabeth Wayland Barber, and the third is “Fibershed” by Rebecca Burgess. I’ve read them multiple times and always learn something new!

Thank you for sharing this information. I recently realized that my treadling speed and my whorls could work together for more comfortable spinning. I learned to spin on my Ladybug and had purchased an additional whorl (slow) as the larger one that came with the wheel was still to fast for me to get down all the movements. As my skill increased I began treadling faster, which was not wonderful for my hips for prolonged periods of time. Going to a smaller whorl can allow me to slow down my treadling speed while getting the resulting yarn I am after. I’ve been mulling over all this and your explanations put it all together with a nice little bow on top. Please take care of yourself. Our thoughts are with you ❤

Sorry you are not feeling very good. Hope you get better soon. I would LOVE book reviews. I do not really spin but knit and crochet so I’m very interested in textile crafts. I tend to watch your videos while at work because it helps me feel crafty. Thanks and get better soon but take great care of yourself ❤️❤️

Hope you feel better really soon.

Thank you. As someone who wants to learn to spin, but doesn’t have a wheel yet, I found your video to be very helpful. I don’t know which wheel to get, but I loved learning about how whorl size effects the finished thickness of the yarn (all other things staying the same of course). Thank you!

Would love to hear reviews on textile books from you.

Sending you my best thoughts for a full and prompt recovery !

Yes, I would be VERY interested in book reviews and your take on Worn. I read it myself and it provoked my own opinions and thoughts. I wasn’t sure if her point of view always meshed with the facts the historical record presents. I would really like to hear your take on it.

Thank you❣️I used to spin on an old Quebec production wheel and have just treated myself to an Ashford Traveler. Your video really helped me to understand ratios and I look forward to exploring my new wheel with its smorgasbord of ratios!

Praying your rest helps you to heal quickly. Yes to the book reviews. I'm new to this & wanting to learn as much as I can. Thanks. ♥️🧶

Eve I love your channel. You have thought me so much and it has been Soooo much fun. I hope you get better soon. Not for the sake of more video by for your bubbly happy personality. And yes I would love to hear your book reviews.

I have a ladybug and you made me doubletake and spot the second whorl on it. I've been spinning on it since 2019. I am SHOOK. There was facepalming. And now there is plotting to be had on my fiber stash.

You aren't the only one!

I like the idea of your book reviews. I can’t imagine I would read the book but love hearing the history, especially when you share it in such a fun way. Best wishes with your health journey.

Nice to see your articles in Spin Off and Ply magazines. Take care of yourself. I enjoy your videos.

Book reviews-YES! Thank you for sharing this work.

I have been thinking of you and hoping all was well. Nice to see you back. I am sending healing vibes.

I hope you continue to heal and are back in the pink again soon.

I think your book reviews would be grand. Hoping your health improves soon, please don’t stress about us while you’re healing. We’ll just have to put all your wonderful teaching into practice while you recover 😉

Very happy you did a video on this. Last year at the Jefferson Sheep & Wool, I took a class on wheels and ratios and it was SO helpful. It was a full math break down which was a bit hard, but I am so much better prepared at understanding how to get the yarn I want. I hope this helps others achieve what they're looking for in their spinning.

Yes, I want book reweivs!! Reading Women's work right now, on your recomendation.

So good to see you and that you're going to be fine, do what you need to do for you, we'll be here whenever you are.

So wonderful to see you again! This video was so very useful to me, helped me better understand how switching ratio size will affect my yarn. I'm busy setting up my wheel right now and going fiber stash diving to try the four-skein experiment. Thanks for the inspiration to get spinning again! My thoughts are with you, please take care of yourself and I hope your health situation can be resolved quickly.

Thank you for such a great explanation! And yes, I would love to watch a book review from you. Wishing you good health.

Hugs to your whole family.

Yes to book reviews!! I listen while spinning and often end up buying the book (I’m a stronger visual learner). Glad to see you back!

Thanks for this, I'm sure I'll refer back to it when and if I get myself a wheel. I was wondering if you'd have a new video up soon and was hoping nothing was wrong. Life sure does happen, sometimes with a vengeance. And I hope whatever you have ailing you is temporary and can be resolved, and if not, that it can be managed in such a way that you can keep doing what you want to do, even if it might not be the same way you did it before. Life's all about the workarounds. We'll wait. Do what you can, and please don't beat yourself up over what you can't.

Hope you feel better. I always love your videos and find them very informative. Wishing you good rest and refueling time!

We absolutely would adore book reviews! Definitely take the time you need to rest and heal, no worries or hurry.❤

Yes please! I'd love book reviews.

Thank you for all of your videos! They’re so helpful. Please take care of yourself. I’ll be praying for you.

So good to see you again! I’m sorry that you aren’t feeling well, I will pray that you get better soon. We are lucky to have our fiber to keep our minds occupied. ❤

This is an excellent video! I´ve never fully understood the whole "ratio-thing" but now I do, thanks to Your educative and detailed explanation!

Hi Evie, I'm so sorry that you're having health issues. ❣️❣️❣️❣️ This was a very interesting and informative video podcast. I'm glad that you explained about twist and speed on eSpinner working in a similar way to a Whorl on a Treadle Wheel. Keeping you, Mark and your Boys in my thoughts and Prayers. Please take care of yourself Fibre Friend Lots of love, Blessings and Huge Hugs to you all Jen xxxx ❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🫂🫂🫂🫂🐕🐈‍⬛

I’m so grateful for this video! It made a whorl of difference 😂. Today I tried to spin fingering weight for the first time. Single kept breaking so I tried a faster whorl & that did the trick! Yay!

I'm a new spinner (first lesson in January & renting a Lendrum), so I'm soaking up as much information as possible. There is so much to learn! Thank you for all that you do! Best wishes to you as you rest to gain back your health. We will still all be here for you if you need to slow down or take a break.

My many prayers and hugs are with you. I hope you feel stronger soon. I would love to watch your book reviews, that’s a great idea. Thank you

I love the way you explain things, and show results.. your videos have helped so very much in my journey! Thank you! Wishing you strength and healing and looking forward to your videos when your feeling better! 🙏💕🐑🧶

so happy to see you again with a new video and so glad you are feeling well enough to film a bit!

Yes, I would love book reviews.

This is the second “experiment” I’ve watched you doing. Thanks for your great explanations.

A book review would be great, there are so many books I haven't come across yet so am always keen to learn about new ones

This has cleared up a TON of confusion for me! I had no idea what a ratio was or how to figure it out. Simple!!!! thank you so much, and I hope you get to feeling better soon! ❤

yes to the book reviews!

Thank you for this great video, the timing is perfect I also have been poorly the last few weeks and have been trying to occupy myself. I have a ladybug wheel that I bought about a year ago and have struggled to get going. I learnt to spin about 35 years ago but life got in the way and I haven’t done any spinning for about 30 years . With the help of your videos I seem to have rekindled my interest and am now keen to keep going. Thank you again and I hope your health improves soon.

Yep, I realized the same about the lady bug whorl!

Hugs. May God richly bless you and your family. I’m a new spinner and you have helped me so much in my journey. Thank you for all that you’ve done to serve this community.

Listen to your body. My body has not let me work for six months. I am hoping to work again before the end of April. I love your work. Sending hugs and love that you will feel better soon. ❤❤

Book reviews yes!!! I enjoy the perspective you share.😊

Please take care of yourself. I am sending healing energy your way. I would love a book review! I'm recently found your channel and have been obsessed. On your recommendation, I read “Women's Work: The First 20,000 Years.” And am now hooked on the history of fabric. I never knew what I'd been missing.

Excellent explanation on whorls and ratios! Thank you. Hope you’re feeling better soon!

I love your videos, and this one sure delivered. I have some ideas to try. I wish you lived here and came to our spinning group, it would be so fun to nerd out about fiber. God bless you and your family.

You’re in my thoughts and prayers

I’m onboard for whatever you feel happy to share with us. I learn so much from you and look forward to all of your new posts. Your explanations, demonstrations, and deep dives into textile history are marvelous, and I know I’ll love your book reviews, too. Please take care of yourself and don’t worry about losing our interest if you need to take a complete break for a while. You won’t! We will be here when your healing is done and your energy is back to 100%. In the meantime, I will enjoy learning from the wonderful library of videos you have already produced. Thank you, and here’s to your good health!❤

I am SO glad you made this video! I was commissioned to spin for an alpaca farmer and have been bumbling my way through it but it all makes sense now!!!! Thank you!! 💜

Book reviews yes please hope you're feeling better soon. Best wishes from Canada.

thank you that is an eye opener, for a neb, in the world of words and things for spining wheel and spinntops... yars and fraces. gonna stay close for now. thank you

Book reviews? Um… YES, please!!! You recommended “Women’s Work”, and it was super interesting. Especially so since I’m also reading the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series to my kids right now. I know it doesn’t seem like the two would go together, but trust me. The former is like a “history nerds companion” to the latter. 😂

Thank's for the video !!! It's strange that so many people have health-issues right now (including myself)... ...best wishes from Germany. 💚

Praying for you lovely lady.

yes yes yes book reviews! 😍😍😍😍😍😍

Those yarns are beautiful💕 I hope you feel better soon🥰 I would love some book reviews☺️

I'm glad you are taking care and making this amazing relaxing craft, always delightful to watch and learn here. I wish health for all of us💖

I love you. Please take care of your precious self!!! I enjoyed this a lot, as I’m quite astute at spinning very finely, but next I want to try a thicker one!

Thanks so much. Ratios haven’t been so clear. Your explanations are so so usefull. Be well and take care. Thanks for beeing.

I would love to Have you do a book review. This would be very helpful and we would gain more knowledge on a which books would be helpful to us spinners. This would also expand our horizon and possible interests. Love it.

Love you!!! Sending hugs!! You do you!!!

I love the way you explain things and show examples i have already learned so much from your videos. I am a new spinner and just started trying a different speed whirl mainly because I needed more twist on the BFL i was spinning thinner than i had been and it worked perfectly instead of increasing my peddling speed.. 😊❤
