As a new spinner, thank you for showing your process for preparing your roving for a combo spin before you actually start spinning. This was very helpful.

New spinner here and so grateful for the video. Even though I'm reading a lot about spinning I am a visual learner and seeing you actually splitting and grouping your fibers made it much clearer for me. Thank you and I'm now eagerly looking forward to a combo sweater spin after I finish spinning for the Traveler Shell.

As a new spinner, this we SUPER helpful. These terms like "combo spin" get thrown around, sometimes without a lot of explanation, so this was really helpful. One question: Are you planning a future video where you show the completed yarn, and then maybe also your completed sweater?! I've learned enough to know that the fiber evolves and changes appearance as it becomes something new (fiber to yarn, yarn to fabric) and I'd love to see what sort of results this method netted you. Thanks again!!

You do such a fantastic job although you can be tough on yourself at times. Hope you enjoy what you spin☀️🌴 Edit: GIRL 😮your spun yarn looks better than Spincycle 😲the colors…oh my gawsh 🤩

I was thinking a combo spin was something different thanks for the video. I thought you just took 3 braids, spin them separately and Plied them together. This is more detailed. I’ve actually done this way but didn’t realize what it was called.

You can also do what you mentioned first as a combo spin! But this is a great way to do a sweater quantity

Thank you so much. I really am interested in starting to spin too and found your recent videos so helpful to actually try starting it out. As i couldnt find any classes near me so far i am so grateful that you shared infos about your process. Looking forward to all the things you are sharing with us :) one thing i am still struggling is how to decide on a spinning wheel. Most probably i will start with a drop Spindle to test it out but really love the look of a spindle wheel and would love to invest in one. But Die to the price i dont know what to look out for as i cant test one out near me. Can you help with that? How did you decide in your Model?

Good question. That’s my question too.
@YoungfolkKnits
@YoungfolkKnits 4 ай бұрын
I completely understand! I wasn’t able to test one out either. I did a LOT of research and I found that one of the best wheels to get is a Lendrum DT. This is great for beginners but will also take you thru your entire spinning journey. And the price point is better than others. I started with the ashford kiwi 3 and did also get a Schacht matchless later. I think the matchless is one of the best wheels there is but it’s not a great price.

Thanks for this helpful video! How do you know how many ounces of roving you need for a project and also how do you know how thin to spin the yarn to make it a correct weight yarn for your intended project.
@YoungfolkKnits
@YoungfolkKnits 4 ай бұрын
A lot of this comes with practice! The more you do it the more you will see what weight yarn you come up with. For me - a wool fiber 2 ply generally gives me a fingering- sport. Three ply gives me a worsted when using a wool fiber. So I take that and look at the grams called for in the project I want to knit. Then I try to get a couple of ounces extra so I can do a quick test with the fiber to see what I’m getting when I spin it up and ply it. Basically a gauge swatch for spinning

Hey Kaci! Thanks SO much for this video, I was just thinking to myself last week that I need to research how to do a proper combo spin, I've kinda just been guessing. This was so informative and helpful. One question for you, you mentioned splitting the fibres once more for your sleeves to accommodate the smaller circumference and hopefully keep the colour changes fairly even. Did you mean you split the strips one more time widthwise, so that they were narrower strips? Or did you split it again lengthwise, so that they were shorter strips? Thanks so much!
@YoungfolkKnits
@YoungfolkKnits 4 ай бұрын
I spilt them vertically so they were the same length strips only thinner!
