This was my first Tour De Fleece as well. Geeking out on fibre arts shenanigans with similarly minded people was wonderful, and the feedback was great: I hadn’t joined any spinning groups yet and had never had any feedback on my yarns before except maybe from non-spinners. And it’s amazing how much can be learned from spinning every day. I’ve been spinning for less than a year and the progress I’ve made in these short three weeks was so big!

And my end disappeared and I could not find it and I was making a mess so I said screw it. I just attached again and I decided finding the end will be plying me’s problem.

@@etienne6916 Melt and lightly coat a few of your supers, at least for Langstroth hives. There’s a few videos on here of people who have tried it. We are on low production for another year until we build a hibernation cooler but it beats buying starters.
@@kalka1l very interesting! Ill give it a try! :D
Nice work! There are not many videos of using handspun in a knitting machine, very niche. I'm still learning to spin well enough to put my handspun through my machines. Glad to see it is very much possible. Thank you for the inspiration, I shall persist 😊
Haha thanks! :) from what i learned, consistency and havung enough twists are the more important parts :)
I have a traditional like yours , and went through a lot of adjustments to improve my spinning experience. In some circumstances I was working very hard to treadle fluently. The leather at the base of the footman was very worn after I had given it some attention things improved a lot. Also making sure the metal rods the treadle is attached to are oiled and free from dust bunnies etc .
Yay Wheel of Time. I love epic fantasy and long books in series. And Sanderson’s books are awesome. I just finished the 4th/last of the Wax and Wayne Mistborn 2nd Era books. Can’t wait for the next storm light archives book to come out. I finished the Wool trilogy a couple of weeks ago. They are great books. I just started another book by the same author, Sand.
I just finished Words of Radiance yesterday and started on the kingkiller chronicles :)
Who's your favorite Wheel of Time character? Edited: I completely understand your opinions on the Amazon show. I really enjoyed it because I watched it from the perspective of it being fanfiction. Nothing will ever be a truly faithful adaptation of anything and there's many things that I wouldn't want in a modern adaptation either. Robert Jordan's weird gender politics are not a vibe. But yeah, I watched the show from a fanfiction perspective, so it was just fun. 😊
my favorite I think is Verin :) the most brown of all brown ajahs haha yeah the weird gender politics were deffinatly not a vibe in the books haha x) the thing that bothers me the most about the show is how you seem to need to have read the book to properly understand what is happening, my friend (who never read them) kept asking me why this what is that, etc :/ but it was fun to see that world come to life and have the implied saphic moment become real :)
@@etienne6916 I love Verin. The Brown Ajah is such a vibe. I love research for research's sake. I have only watched the show with people who have read the books, so I didn't realize that it wasn't comprehensible to others. They definitely cram a LOT into each episode.
@@moonbasket hahah totaly! :) if i was an aes sedai i would choose either brown or yellow :)
I love Wheel of Time! Im currently reading it to try and finish it. I only got to book 9 last time I tried. I agree 100% with the descriptions! Robert Jordan put so much effort into the world building and i love it.
ouff yeah you're in the famous slump haha, I found it hard to push through but I managed to and then when you get to The Gathering Storm it gets better again :)
Great video! Loved the company during spinning today! Watching it again because all my spinning content has dried out 😅
@@alexvanderpol1 hahaha xD thanks!
Second comment: oooooh, now that is why you asked if I finish The Way of kings yet :) oh, and I am very eagerly awaiting the third installment of the Kingkiller chronicles. Have you read The Name of the WInd and The Wise Man's Fear yet?
Not yet :0 its on my list, people have been pushing me to read those for a few years now xD
@@etienne6916 They are pushing with *reason*
@@MijnWolden i have 3h left on words of radiance, i will start the name of the wind after :)
@@etienne6916 I didn't continue after Way fo Kings yet. I got it from a friend, and then found out my local library doesn't have any of Sanderson's books. And I don't feel like buying the entire series... (Same problem with Discworld). But my husband and I are contemplating an e-reader, so maybe in the future!
@@MijnWolden ohhh discworld is very worth it if you have the space haha! Also the series is split in sections so you dont have to buy the entire thing, theres charts online to follow the storylines :)
Hehehe sorry not sorry about the chaos goblin tribe interrupting you :D
Hehehehe xD its my fault for not turning the volume down xD i love the server
I see witch hat atelier 👀 Also you mentioned canada day and I was suddenly reminded of this one video that was going around... Over twelve years ago >_> 🎵I know that you wanna be Canadian🎵
Yes! I love the artstyle in witch hat atelier :D I never saw video hahaha xD first time i hear it
Prouii!
Prouii!!
Oh wow, blaming us for not spinning. :( You could have spun at the parade! :P (While in line <.<)
Hahahahahaa i would deffinatly have had time to make a whole bobbin in that line xD
The spindle is so beautiful and, of course, so are the supervising dogs. 😂
I started spinning with a supported spindle. It's very fun.
New spinner here but so far, BFL is my absolute favorite to spin! It is so soft! Aldo I feel you on the dog hair thing…I now wear all my hand knit socks around the house in a pair of Birkenstocks or other similar sandals! Beautiful socks you made there.
Thank you! :) sandals would be a great way to reduce the amount of dog hair on my socks hahaha
Your yarn looks soooo gorgeous!!! Good job staying optimistic in this crazy world ❤ that’s the best that we can do.
Traditionals make such soothing noises
This was nice! Spinning with someone is better than spinning alone, so thank you for the company!
Hopefully we can all spin together this month :) it would be fun
That was so peaceful and relaxing:)
Thank you! :)
Lovely fleece. Have a wonderful Tour de Fleece! Lisa
Thank you! :) same for you!
please tell how much each fiber weighs for each color or length, thank you
I would have had to weight it beforehand hahaha but total i have 185g of spun yarn and they were about the same size for each colors so around 30g of each colors give or take haha
@@etienne6916 Thank you
Prouii
What a beautiful fleece!
It looks like this is going to turn into a beautiful TDF-sweater!
I really like all the natural color variations in it :)
