My 2nd grader had the word WEAVE today as part of his spelling homework. He didn't know what it meant, after I explained the meaning. I came to youtube to show him a video of how it worked. This was so informative! We watched together and we were fascinated! He said he can't wait to tell his teacher about not only weaving, but how it comes from sheep and ends up as a scarf! That's a huge deal for us. Thank you for putting this together and breaking it down so nicely

One day I want a little farm where i can have a few sheep and a vegetable garden and keep bees and just make so many wonderful things from the earth. This was so informative, and now that I know theres a textile resurgence in maryland, i might look into classes to learn the skills

You can't buy things like that amazing scarf today... That thing was one of a kind. Literally. God bless you ma'am in JESUS precious name...

I never understood how clothing was made. This really opened my eyes. I still don't understand exactly what you do on the loom, but I see how it flips the vertical position of the two lines of wool to trap the middle line and create the over and under pattern that is used in clothing. This is cool!

Honestly this woman seems like such a treat. I would love to learn from her

Praise God for giving men wisdom and creativity. How fascinating is this!!

My left ear really enjoyed this

Many years ago, I learned to card wool, spin it with a spindle and a spinning wheel, and weave it at UC Davis's Craft Center. It was one of the most wonderful things I have ever learned to do, along with throwing ceramic pots on a wheel. I have knitted since the age of 6 and crocheted since the age of 8. I learned how to sew not long afterward and I love doing all kinds of things with yarn and threads and fabric. I guess I will always enjoy this. I envy the fact that you have a weaving loom. I only hope I can teach some of what I know to the younger generations, especially now that I have a granddaughter. I would love to spend a year on your farm and learn even more about sheep, carding, dyeing wool, spinning, and weaving.

I loved this video! ❣ I have never been exposed to the beginning-to-end process, so I was fascinated. What a sweet lifestyle, albeit hard work. I'm going to watch it again.

Spinning looks very meditative.

That’s awesome. If only all wool sheep were treated with this level of care. I would buy wool from you. It’s very clear that you stock is loved.

Beautiful work. I wove some years back on my beloved Louet Spring. Became disabled and had to stop but do miss it, so relaxing and rewarding.

I just watched this with my 9 yr old daughter - what a wonderful video. Thank you for sharing your talent and your love of weaving.

Oh my word so much work and time you devote from start to finish. You are one talented and smart lady.

That is fantastic and that woman is amazing how from the sheep to the weavers and spinning, washed dyed fine wool. I like to crochet and want to use this natural fiber of wool. Thanks for this video.

Thank you. Watching this has allowed my Soul to breathe.

Wood love to spend a day with Gwen and watch whatever she needs to do that day, whether it be washing wool, dyeing, winding , spinning, or loom work. Absolutely amazing. Of course I would have to buy a couple skeins. 😀

I really loved watching every step of this process , I can't explain what I am feeling just a word for this process that's Meditation . Really love you and your work.

Stunning shawl! I get exhausted just think about adding the warp. You do however explain the process beautifully! Seeing all your beautiful colors of yarn over the rail of your porch made me want to be your neighbor for the sight of it was striking! Wonderful VLOG! Thank you for sharing and God Bless!

This is the kind of stuff you'd think is impossibly boring as a child, but as you grow older it's simply.. Fascinating. I love watching artisans work.

What artistry and devotion to craft, technique and expressionism she has. Brava!

I had Handspinning project with 4th grade this February 2020. Kids made amazing yarn by theirselve and had a lot of fun brushing and spinning the wool. Special thanks for your video.

Beautiful..what a talented lady

As a crocheter this is awesome to watch!

This was so cool to see. I lived in Carroll County for 36 years. I now live in Gettysburg, but work at the Carroll County library. I am a spinner, knitter, crocheter, and novice weaver. Thank you so much for sharing.

Lovely video! I spin and weave too, as a historical reenactor.

Very informative and peaceful Gwen thank you

Watching this while doing knitting. Very nice video!

Beautiful, I can look at it all day long, love creative people! And living on the farm is magical!

not sure how I got here -- but I am amazed -- thanks for the video -- nicely done

Beautiful work. I too am knitter, spinner and weaver, but unfortunately do not own any sheep. I do buy fleece and wash, dye, card and spin it myself though, so I can appreciate all the work that you put into your items. Thank you for sharing.

2022 and this is amazing! Thank you for sharing!

I loved watching every step of the process! It's incredible to think about the number of hours that go into making one scarf, but I guess that's what makes it so satisfying. I can only imagine what a thrill it is to be involved with a project from the very beginning! Did you say it takes three months for you to get your yarn after you've delivered the wool to the spinning place? That seems like a long time to wait! Thanks again for sharing. And you're right, there's no amount of money that would suffice to pay you appropriately for the amount of work. But if the person who buys your work appreciates and values it, then it's got to be gratifying!

Gwen is a real gem!

Warping reel: 7:00 I shall sing you the song of my people

That's so Awesome.. Thank you. Wish there were more Woman out there like you. I love keeping the Traditions alive as you do.

Absolutely amazing. Enjoyed watching. What a beautiful scarf. Never knew how much work went into a skein of yarn.

Knitting and Crochet were Unisex Tasks, back in the day. When there's 14 of us in a one room cabin, over a winter, there are no Idle hands.

Thank you for sharing this wonderful video! My kids loved seen the process from shearing a sheep to final product of a scarf!... Thank you

So beautiful. Looks inviting. Thank you for sharing.

This is the best youtube video I've seen ages. I think this lady is amazing. Thank you so much for sharing.

Wonderful video! Thank you for sharing this! I've just started with fiber arts and I'd say "I wanna be you when I grow up, but I'm already grown and think I've missed the boat here, but if I could do it over again..." Have a great day!

I hope that one day I will have sheep and a alpaca and way to much fleece to spin would be my dream.

Thanks for posting.Lovely to see and hear the animals too.

Thank you for this amazing power packed video on sheep wool to a wearable item. It answered so many questions. Well done video!!!

What a pleasure to see this.🤍

Wow what a hard working smart lady....enjoyed and learned a lot. Thanks

Thank you for your video showing the process! Hope to see you at Maryland Sheep and Wool this year!

Thank you for showing the beautiful art of weaving. From sheep to scarf, I love it!

This video was so incredibly relaxing and soothing. Thank you so much for sharing!

Remarkable! Wonderful documentary about your work and your life. I really enjoyed it, a learned a lot!!!

This was mesmerizing to watch the whole process from start to finish. Thank you for sharing this.

This was fascinating! Excellent video! ♥️♥️

Excellent video! Loved seeing the full process and the beauty of the finished product.

This video absolutely caught my attention. The yarn dyeing...very interesting. Thank you for sharing. Beautiful work.

What a beautiful thing to watch the whole process. Thank you!

Thank you for that clear understanding of what it takes to make that beautiful scarf ! Beginning to end just a wonderful process and a lot of work ... but I can see how satisfying it is to you!!!

Beautiful work, just beautiful. Love the full circle of the video, very well done..

Thank you so much for sharing such a magical process. 🌎🌷💜🙏🏿🌳

This is wonderful! Loved this video! She has an amazing skill.

Shes very lucky to have such a lovely farm and people who help her. I'm very jealous of her family. I wish I had an aunt like this

I learned how to crochet watching you tube and I love it . Tapestry is a whole other ball game . What a talented lady from sheep to shawl xox

Great video , I'm super envious! Thankyou for sharing 😊

Thanks. Very informative. I love history and how people lived before modern technology. You have a talent of covering all aspects of the project

Great video - I am slowly learning aspects of what you do, and even more slowly acquiring land, critters and equipment - but from critter to sweater is my goal! Thanks for your inspiration - again, great video......xx

An absolutely exquisite masterpiece is achieved at the end of this fascinating video showcasing a timeless art from start to finish. Please continue to pass on crafts like this so that they are not lost to history. Thank you so much for sharing this with us.

That was amazing! Thanks for sharing with us!

When you buy at Wal-mart, all this work is done in a sweatshop in Asia by 8 year old kids. The final product is cheaper, because they only pay those kids pennies a day. Hand-crafted items are more expensive, but you're getting a product that was made with love and care, and generations of experience handed down.

Amazing work from this lady. So relaxing to watch

That last little fella looks like it enjoys its beer! Thanks for the clear video!

I just love your video and it make total sense to me when you mentioned at the end, that when you have a farm it gives you time to be creative, I'm an artist, home-edger parent and my youngest daughter and i, Ember, just watched your video, making our own home made loom. We don't have much money, but we have the imagination to make create and grow... thank you for your inspiration, i wish i could swap some of our goats for sheep.. Blessings

Despite seeing people looming again and again. All the words and seeing it. My brain just can't grasp it

That was so amazing to watch. Thank you.

the amount of work that goes into this is astonishing

Beautiful video, you can see all the passion and commitment. It is a dream for me to be able to live like this. Thank you so much.

Wow...the amount of work and time.....I never really Thought about it. Thank you so much!

Well done! Loved every second of this video. Thank you. I look forward to teaching this to my sisters and nieces when I become proficient.

They were feeding the lambs milk with a yuengling bottle lol

Gorgeous color's. Wow such a great hobby to learn. I'd love playing and working with textile yams and fabrics like this. Just wonderful. I really enjoyed your video. Thank you for sharing and teaching us.

Very interesting you’re talented. Thanks I able to see how did this fabric made, not easy.

Thank you so much for sharing this!! 💖🦋

thank you so much for the wonderful video. so intriguing and the realization of all the work that goes in handmade products.

Extremely nice video, THANK you for your time and it looks beautiful.

You are very lucky lady and I got the feeling I can learn a lot from you thank you. Ps, beautiful scarf and of course the colours.

Thanks for this. Cute little black lamb at the beginning!

I will never get tired of watching this video...

Very enjoyable to watch. I am a knitter but I can see myself doing the weaving also. Fabulous video.

You are an absolute miracle worker. I really love yarn craft

Awesome way of life.I'm sure you are inspirational to many budding artist interested in fiber art. Please get sharing. I would love to see more of your art work.

So much effort and dedication goes into doing this , i wish they get paid fairly always .

Just so very satisfying to watch. You look one very contented lady. Thank you for sharing . Jacqui from the UK

Beautiful work , such dedication.

I love craft hobbies and can knit and crochet but I'm not sure I'd have the patience to do this... Well done to you x and such beautiful colours you dyed the wool

Wow. I’m am blown away by your dedication. Thank for creating the educational video.

Being an engineer I was often triggered by the idea "that step needs automation" . The video tells me how hard the life of our ancestors was. And now imagine your underwear were made of sheep wool because this is the only fibre available ....

I love everything about this video!

Loved this video! Thank you!

I had always wondered how things like wool were made into yarn and fabric, etc. Thank you for this!

That was such a great informational video. We watched it because Christoper Columbus' father was a wool weaver. Thank you for sharing with us! We loved the colors you chose for your yarn.

this was super interesting to watch. I could listen and watch you weave for an hour.
