I was just looking at photos of a very similar wheel, thinking about buying it as a present, when I realised, thanks to you!, that it had no way of adjusting tension! No knob or screw to move any part of the wheel so that the bobbin could be taken off without having to untie the whole driving band. So thank you for this video, you have saved me a very cruel dissapointment this Christmas!

what an nice wheel. I own an similiar in brown from Schweden

I've been hanging around for some time now, and love your videos ☺️ Spinning and weaving is a new world to me, and something I'd love to try sometime. And I just wanted to ask about the removing of lanolin. Do you remove all of it? And do you remove it the same way every time, or do you keep parts of it depending on what you plan to use it for? I ask because when my kids were babies/toddlers, we used cloth nappies for them, with wool nappy pants over, and they were kept waterproof with lanonlin, that we added in the rinsing water when they started to let moisture through. And I know we had to use non-treated wool, not superwash, but I don’t really know anything about how the natural lanolin is treated when making yarn. In one shop where they sold nappies, they also sold yarn with lanolin, ready for use when you knit the pants, but I have no idea if it was added back to the yarn, or kept there while making it. Do you have any idea?

Beautiful! Do you name your wheels? You could name her Chatty Kathy 😍

Am I to believe there are people who don't have a jumbled box of knitting needles? That can't be true 😂❤

As so many have eloquently expressed here, you are a beautiful, talented woman. Period. I've had the Luterloh system for several years but never used it, in part because it takes a fair amount of timecand I didn't see how it could adjust from a standard pattern to my very-NOT-standard measurements. So I'm very encouraged to see how well your vest fits (though if it were mine, I too would want the shoulder area narrower). So THANK YOU for showing this. I may have to tackle a Luterloh project after the holidays.

Is it the bobbin chattering with the whorl? Mine does this too. I was thinking about placing a little bit of leather between them to dampen the chatter.

I just recently became interested in spinning my own yarn. I have purchased some fibers and a drop spindle which will be arriving soon. I have been knitting and crocheting for a long time and I have tons of yarn and made many things especially during the Covid lockdown. Now I am interested in making my own yarn. I can't afford a spinning wheel but I can afford a e spinner. I am so glad to have found your channel.

Love hearing her chatter, the sound of her is soothing. Please an entire video of just her spinning!

She sounds like gwen, she defo has a lot to say about her previous owners xx

I just wanted to say, I really do appreciate it when youtubers have an actual humane video release schedule! Knowing that a video I'm watching didn't actively contribute to some poor sod's impending burnout makes me feel a lot better about watching those videos.

I actually so love that sound!! It’s so relaxing to my nervous system

I'm doing a bit of hand sewing to make myself a needle book today, and this last bit with you spinning is such a sweet little work together moment that I really enjoyed.

The sound of the wheel sounds like cat purrs, it’s so beautiful!

You can take the wheel off. Yes, of course! Why didn’t I understand that. Thought it was just for oiling the wheel. This new knowledge will make it easier to fit the wheel in my car.

I have a cow which is another double drive wheel and I noticed that 1) they are crazy fast 2) the leader gets caught often 3) the yarn is thin 4)they have comfy noises

I've been spinning on a Turkish spindle. Wash more wool with longer staple length. My roll lags are not as nice as the 1 you are using. I need to practice more on using my carder paddles.

Love hearing her. She sounds like a happy purring cat, sitting by a fire, playing with her yarn. She is a happy wheel.

Been looking forward to this video ever since Kori shared a picture of that wheel in her discord server. It's gorgeous, & so talkative! Also appreciate this video for exposing me to the idea of a keeper pin. My old flax wheel has the hole but no pin, never could figure out what it was for.

The sound of the spinning wheel reminds me of a cat purring 😸 I could listen to it all day!

What a beautiful wheel! Thank you for sharing it with us. In Scottish Gaelic, a sort of cousin to Irish, the flyer is called the teic. As far as I know, teic (seic in some dialects) doesn't have anything to do with "flying." What we call in English the "hooks" on the flyer are called fiaclan, which means teeth. Fiaclan na teic / the teeth of the flyer. I'd love to find an antique Scottish wheel someday. I do have a forty-year old upright Scottish wheel made by the Haldane company in the style of the old Sheltand wheels. It has nice silver-colored fiaclan and spins like a dream!

I wish I could find a wheel…..

Your timing is perfect! I'm new to spinning & just received my first spinning wheel, a Kromski Symphony. I literally just watched the video on setting up the drive band for a double drive! It saved me from tears of defeat as I struggled to get the band on correctly without it. Love your channel!

You have no idea Eve how much I want to be able to spin on my drop spindles, Louet Jane spinning wheel and my drop spindles. I just can’t get the hang of it. It would be so nice to have someone like you who lived near me who would help me figure out why I have so much trouble. So far of all the KZbin videos I have watched teaching how to spin, yours has been the best.

I see so many people long draw toward their shoulder and over like you do. I’ve always done it across my lap and to the side so I’m not twisting so much. I don’t know if I’m doing it ‘wrong’ or just a variation that works for me.

In Dutch it is called ‘vlucht’ - flight in english- so very similar

❤

I always wonder how we're expected to get everything done including the spinning and knit/crochet/cross stich, whatever it is we do. I would never have enough energy to get all the house work done and spin and ALSO finish a crochet project. Especially while chasing my two year old!

Nice wheel, you draft with your left like I do. I got rid of most of my wheels. The wheels I have kept have their flyers on the right. I realized about 10 years back when spinning long draw my back was killing me. Someone asked me how I held my draft and they said to get a wheel with the flyer on the right, and I did. It makes spinning so much easier.

This is actually really useful to see. I have fleece in the grease that has been wrapped up and stored out of sight & mind for a long time! My heart wants to but my brain says "not today" 🙄

I hope people don't overthink that drive band crossing information. It does it on its own. Don't force the crossing, just make sure you aren't intentionally crossing things, you might wind up with a mess. Great video on your precious wheel.. lovely ❤️💚🤍

Love the mesh basket idea for washing fleece!

Love it! 💜

I currently watch or rewatch a lot of you're videos. Having recently seen the peru episode I wonder if they, with theire active spinning tradition have more vocabulary to talk about the texture and caracteristics of fiber and yarn. I wonder if linguists and anthropologists have published papers in that regard.🤔

So fun to see you do some experimenting in this video! I had an icord toy as a kid, but I definitely want one of those little tools to play with too!

I have never wanted a scarf more than I want that one. You did an incredible job

I REALLY WANT TO LEARN HOW TO SPINDLE

I've had lots of questions about the laundry basket I used in this video. I got it from a company that as of today 12/19/24 has workers on strike. I support workers especially when they are fighting for better wages and benefits from a company that has yearly net profits of billions of dollars. I rarely shop there as it is, but the timing of trying out this basket just happened to be what it is. I'll share all the details after the strike is resolved. Until then I don't want to use my platform to encourage crossing picket lines. Thanks for all your understanding and patience! Happy spinning, Evie

Instead of a salad spinner, you could also maybe use one of those mop buckets that you step on to spin water off of mops 💕 that would be less of a work out I’m sure lol

I don't do i-cord yet but my hair is currently braided and tied off with a finger-loop braid I made with acrylic yarn about four or five years ago. And I made a really long one to lace up my kirtle cause I found a cotton yarn that matched my linen kirtle.

I could use a very long I cord for the top I crocheted 😅 I already have a nice tutorial for how to do it with a singular hook but yeah The i cord maker I'd be excited to use I'd probably also make a lot of these with it 😁

Left-handed knitter here! It's not that big a deal, but I struggle to follow charted patterns since they turn into mirror images. I usually don't feel like flipping them around. I find most written patterns are fine to follow- a M1L is a M1L, for the most part. And there are a few really good left-handed knitting tutorials on YT (Bill Souza is amazing!) that help a lot with specific stitches.

Would you recommend spinning from the fold for a 12 inch staple? I was gifted a beautiful BFL fleece and the length on this wool is mind-blowing and yet, it is also incredibly fine and soft. I want to spin it it its greatest advantage so I am wondering what the best technique would be.

It's so sad that hateful people (who are really just struggling with themselves and their own life) can go and do so much damage to really anyone who dares be something on the internet. Eve, you are perfect just the way you are! ❤️ You are such a delight to watch and learn from ❤️

Being tacky on purpose, being campy on purpose, I love it. I subscribe just hearing you say that.

Definitely not bear paw prints, those would have 5 visible toes. Could honestly be either cat or dog, the shape is a bit stylized so it's not a perfect match for either. If you're looking at a real paw print in the dirt, you can tell cats from dogs easily because dogs will have claw impressions at the tips of the toe pads, but cats won't because their claws are retractable, but again, in stylized designs like these I rarely ever see claws included even if it's meant to be a dog print. Love when being a wildlife biologist comes in handy for craft related questions 😂

Also a left-handed knitter. Usually works out fine, but I have to be careful with graphed patterns. I also have to pay attention to ssk and k2 together, as they slant the opposite ways when I knit. However, as long as I do this, it all good.

Hahaha! Based on actual events!

The paws are kitty paws. If they were meant to be anything close to realistic. Because realistic doggo and bear paws would have claws or claw marks. I THINK (not sure) that bears might also have 5 toes in their tracks. As for icords…i’ve never made any….but I HAVE made a lucet cord. I think they’d be cool to use in anything you need a cord for-shoe strings, purse straps, hoodie cords, make a cord to knit or crochet when you need a larger yarn but don’t want to spin thick….

please no music it is distracting and if you do put music make sure it is less loud
