So pretty! I'm a crocheter and this is the first spinning/weaving video I've ever watched. Very cool to see the fiber become yarn and the yarn become cloth! P.S. If the scarf came out a bit short, it would make an AMAZING rustic table runner ❤️

[@ksisu1324]

SAME!!!

[@girlsownstore123]

Dear Evie, I recently tried the same thing, using Z and S. I read (somewhere I forget where!) that this technique was used by Vikings when weaving sails for their longships. It makes total sense when you think about it. When the warp and weft are in place the twist will be lying in the same direction, so the fibres can lock together rather than across each other. Do a little diagram and you'll see what I mean. They were smart and understood their textiles!

[@JillianEve]

Yes! 🧶🦗💜🥰

[@GaraksApprentice]

This was also a major spinning and weaving technique in England in the high medieval period! The spinners spun warp Z twist and the weft S twist, partly to differentiate which was which. (There were laws at the time that forbade using carded fibres for warp yarn, as carded fibres were now being spun on the great wheel, and were considered inferior to the worsted spindle-spun warp yarns.)

[@ericdpeerik3928]

Yeah nah, vikings didn't know what an s was, they were in fact spinning sun runes 🤪 Okay sorry about that, I'll let myself out

[@ksisu1324]

[@rileyallen489]

Dude me too. And I'm sitting here like "nope nope. I do not need another hobby" lol

[@micahmilne]

This is really cool. I'm thinking about how I dislike wearing woven shirts -- they're so stiff and uncomfortable to me. Always wondered about people wearing head to toe woven cloth in the past, and if I would find it uncomfortable in that same way. So this is really interesting. That stretchy flexibility... I bet that cloth would do well in moving with your body and shaping to fit your form as you wore it in.

[@JillianEve]

Yes! I was thinking the exact same thing! A thinner yarn, a tighter weave, and a supportive wool kertle might be as comfortable as yoga pants! 🤔 I'm 100% experimenting now that I got my floor loom up and weaving!

[@1st1anarkissed]

Of course they always had that linen layer, the long shift that blocked scratchiness. But this is like spandex and Im tickled to discover it. Panels could be woven specifically for a stretchy gusset, for example.

[@micahmilne]

@@1st1anarkissed I suppose the linen could be woven this way too. A stretchier underlayer, that would be neat.

[@nyotauhura7412]

I learned that warp and weft thread were supposed to be spun in different directions from a history class that covered the Industrial Revolution and how Richard Arkwright's water frame spinning jenny and Samuel Crompton's spinning mule made the rise of the woolen and cotton mills and mass production possible.

[@ArtBeatKathie]

Constructing the fabric this way on the loom is SO smart. Essentially you are in the midst of a grand physics journey! The twist going in opposite directions cancels each other out and "centers" the grain of the fabric. I believe that is why the fabric has so much "stretch" as well as recovery. I am going to do the same as you would like to do and plan to explore this effect on fabric that is used in garment making. If constructing garments with fabric made in this fashion it should mean that you have fabric that will wear better (less damage to the fibers because the twists reinforce one another), more comfort (the stretch moves with the body), and less need for darts to create clothing that conforms to the body's non-flat surface. What a great experiment! Thank you for taking us along on this journey.

[@dancerocks120]

I don't know a single thing about spinning, but watching your videos is always a hoot. Your love for your craft really just shines through the screen.

[@bria1648]

I understand zero of the words used here but I do know that the color scheme is very starry night adjacent and therefore I love this

[@idamedby4193]

This is exactly the video I needed right now! I'm spinning up yarn with historical reproductions of iron age spindles, whorls and a hand distaff based on the Oseberg grave, all with the intention of building a warp weighted loom and weaving a full wool garment. I had come across a few references to Z and S spun fabric, but struggled to find much in the realm of experimental archaeology that actually addressed whether this technique had any specific benefits to the finished cloth. Thank you so much for answering all of my questions in one go, while also making my task seem slightly less daunting, even despite the discrepancies in available technology between our two projects.

[@haveanicedayiguess]

Your finishing remarks about the qualities of the z- and s-spun threads in the warp and weft makes me think that medieval kirtles might have been more comfortable than expected! If they have extra give to them, it seems that the kirtles would fit and feel better than our same way spun warps and wefts of today. Really interesting!!

[@Grace-ms7un]

That makes so much sense. I remember thinking as a kid that I couldn't believe people didn't have tee shifting because of the fit of the hose and dresses.

[@vernonbowling5310]

I've got dyeing wool down to a happy result now, one thing I would like to share with you and your community. I recently purchased a rit dye in the color graphite hoping to get a nice dark grey (gray) finish. Instead, I got the most beautiful chestnut brown I've ever seen very similar to chestnut brown hair. Thinking the bottle was mislabeled I purchased another and tried again with the same result. You can achieve the graphite color by using very little in your dye mix but if you want the great color of chestnut use a 1/4of the bottle to a pan of 4 cups of water and simmer for 30 minutes or longer if you choose. Quite happy with this discovery and decided to share it with you.

[@LilBlueOnk]

Not a weaver nor do I even know how to spin fibers, but as someone who crochets it makes me really appreciate the process of making yarn and using it in different ways! This was great to watch, thank you so much!

[@Marialla.]

I've wanted to weave since seeing Sally Pointer create her stone age vertical loom out of sticks and stuff she gathered herself. I can imagine keeping a vertical loom against a wall somewhere and working on it when I want without having it take up too much space all the time. I'm so intrigued by this added twist (ha!) of the S and Z twists that tend to interlock and want to spring back together into shape when stretched. I think with a vertical loom it might be easier to make a wider/longer piece of fabric than a table loom could handle.

[@patriciarouse16]

The woven colors are luscious. The cloth begs to be touched. Thoroughly captivating presentation. Thank you and the fiber gifters for a visually splendid experience.

[@bajoyf]

I wish yarn art was taught in school. This is a useful art form.

[@animosity9197]

This was a fascinating first video to watch from you! I love your willingness to experiment with new wool and new techniques and wind up with something unexpected. I've done very limited weaving and no spinning, but I am a professional seamstress and as soon as you showed the finished fabric I could see it LOOKS and MOVES like such high quality, expensive fabric. It's so cool to see what some of the factors that might go into the higher quality fabrics that our ancestors had, because we know they had tighter weaves and finer fabrics than a lot of what's available today. And the finished product is so cute!

Knitty has an article about making a single sizing for weaving that washes out after you've woven your fabric, but gives strength for your warp and weft through sleying and beating. I usually spin my warp and weft opposite if I'm using singles for stability so it doesn't "lean" one way, unless I want to do a collapsed weave. Fun project, thanks for sharing and re-sparking my singles weaving inspiration!

[@antoinealexander650]

There are manufacturers who do spin yarns in both directions. As for the stretching and bounce back, all fabric will stretch some on the bias that's how Vionnie designed by dropping on the bias. Also the weave in the cloth is loosely woven which allows for some stretch too. The bounce back is because of the twist which makes the woven structure pull against itself more like tug-of-war where one yarn pulls against the other so after you stretch the fabric it reverts backs to it's shape kinda like a rubber band when there isn't any pressure put upon it.

I have heard this, too. I think I knit weird because when I knit with commercial yarns it untwists. I knit continental. It's probably a me thing, lol.

[@JillianEve]

I was wondering about that, but I didn't have time to do a deep dive into twist angles of various yarns. I have heard of some yarn intended for crochet that had S twist but I'm not sure how popular that was or if it would be a good yarn for weaving. More to research! 🧶💜
