Thank you!!

Thank you!! I haven't actually uploaded the artwork anywhere, but if you keep an eye on my community tab, I'll pop it in there at some point.

Thank you!!!

Thank you!

This would be a Z twist single, but once plied (because you ply in the opposite direction) would become an S twist yarn. If I span the single the opposite way (towards me) it would have been an S twist single, and then a Z twist yarn. Hope that helps!!!

Thank you!!

I'm sorry, I don't understand that.

Thank you!!

Aw, thank you - I'd love to, maybe one day I'll be able to again!

Thank you! There are a couple of drop spindle vids on my channel still - maybe one day I'll be able to film more, but unfortunately I'm just not able to. This is one reason why my channel has become devoted to my music, but I kept these old tutorials up in the hope that they'll still help people.

Thank you!!

Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback!

You mean flow right? Cuz when the universe moves so do you, you are making the assumption you 'have to' instead of 'during'. We don't work with this kind of beauty, we are with and through us it works. Or I'm full of shit. Who knows.

@@BAFLOD I'm sorry I don't recall asking for some random persons philosophy breakdown of my comment that was ONLY meant to be taken as "for once I got recommended something that isn't shit". Kindly take your incorrect breakdown and give it to someone else cause I never asked for it.

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

@@Elfdaughter definitely, can't wait to hear what you make in the future.

@@Draco9909 much love

Thank you!

Sounds OH SO familiar!

@@Elfdaughter and then you reboot for them and oh look everything's fixed.

Thank you so much! It was based on the DnD campaign I've been running for my group. Lork, Melri, Valinor and Abra are all player characters.

Thanks, Peach!!

There's a few ways to deal with twist. The first is to reverse the pattern once twist starts to build. That does mean that the pattern will change in your band, though. The second is to flip the cards over - turn them from z-twist to s-twist or vice versa - again, that can change the pattern depending on what pattern you are doing. I usually end up resorting to stopping and detangling the threads after a while. I have seen, however, and it's something I want to try, two other systems - one where the threads are attached to heavy weights and allowed to hang off the back of the loom, relying on the weights and gravity to keep them untwisted (not feasible in my setup, sadly), and one where the threads are attached to rings that can swivel feely (I think they're called fishing swivels). This is an option I really want to try. As for my loom, I'm lucky enough that my dad used to be an engineer and still loves making things, so he was kind enough to make me this loom about 10 years ago.

Thank you. I think I shall try the fish swivels. Lucky you to have a clever dad!! Inta Gifford. ♥️ 💐

Hehe - you may have noticed this was posted 5 years ago. I've learned a lot since then, though I've stopped making videos. :D But thank you for taking the time to comment some helpful tips - hopefully people who find this video now will pick up some advice from that too.

In my experience, the weight of the spindle doesn;t matter when spinning singles. Just bear in mind that the thicker the yarn, the less you'll be able to fit on the spindle, and if you want to knit a sweater, that's a LOT of yarn to spin. (Also, bear in mind, the more you wind on to the spindle, the heavier it gets, so I'd actually say avoid heavy spindles...) If you're getting into spinning, and you're really enjoying it, and you want to take that next step to spin wool for projects like the sweater, I'd actually advise stepping up to an actual spinning wheel. I use a fairly cheap, but very good quality wheel called the Electric Eel from Dreaming Robots - the spinning technique is the same, you can adjust the speed of the wheel easily, and it holds a LOT more yarn than a spindle would. I'll be honest - since getting this, I rarely touch my spindle any more. I have the bigger one, the EE6, but the nano is a good starting point. Doesn't hold as much yarn as the 6, but you can just fill up multiple bobbins. Hope that helps! www.dreamingrobots.com/product/eew-nano/

Ok. Thank you

No, it doesn't, as long as you ply the OPPOSITE way to the way you spun the single. There are theories about z twist and s twist, and how some knitters prefer one type and crocheters prefer the other, but it's never made a difference to me. Just as long as you spin one way, ply the other, and keep consistent with it!
