How To Spin Thick And Thin With Your Hand Spun Thread Ply

[@l.beukema8570]

I am very glad that you put the video up! Very helpful and interesting for me. Gorgeous yarn 🥰❤️

[@jkfiberarts]

Thank you! Spin Happy! 😊

[@tinathecrafter]

Thank you for showing everything from beginning to end. Your yarn turned out beautifully!

[@jkfiberarts]

Thank You! And it is my pleasure!

This was great! The yarn is really beautiful, and I learned a few things. The only thing I didn’t get was why you spin the thread Z. Thanks.

[@jkfiberarts]

If I spin the thread S and ply S it will become over twisted. It doesn’t matter as long as you ply the opposite direction you spin the singles. I spin nearly all of my singles Z and Ply S. I have tried plying with commercial thread and I ran it through my wheel Z very quickly to take some of the twist out because the commercial yarn was plied S. It worked great!

[@jamiethrogmorton2540]

@@jkfiberarts ok so you also spun the thick and thin Z? I must have missed that. 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@jkfiberarts]

@jamiethrogmorton2540 yes. Both spun Z and plied S

I love that you showed your victory and ‘learning’ moments of this spin. I really appreciate that! What a beautiful spin!

I love seeing this yarn knit up! I always see art yarns used in weaving but not as much for knitting.

[@itsamysticlife3500]

I absolutely love everything about this. The colors are so relaxing to me, like easing into a warm hug. Thick and thin are my favorite yarns to spin. Of course I'm not that experienced with spinning on a wheel, but have done loads on my drop spindles and my floor spindle (aka Navajo spindle). Your explanation of everything was wonderful, including how to handle overtwist when it happens. Thanks for sharing your wisdom.

[@jkfiberarts]

Thanks for watching! Glad you found some useful pearls! Spin Happy!

[@sherryperry67]

I really enjoyed your explanations at each step of this spin, it is very helpful! Especially like the cowl that showcases your pretty yarn! 🧶🐑🧶

[@beverleylawton6899]

Thank you for this great video. I am in hospital (since August🙄) and I was so immersed in your spinning that I actually felt like myself again! It’s easy to forget who you really are when you’re a patient!! I miss my wheel so it was lovely to be a part of your spin. 🙏 I love how the yarn turned out …such earthy colours, and it will be a beautiful cowl! 😊

[@jkfiberarts]

Thank you!

[@robinboston5948]

I really enjoyed your video. I haven't tried art yarn yet, but it's next on my list. Love the cowl!

[@robynreid3027]

It's so beautiful! I love your honest assessment and ways to address what you didn't like in your spinning! Absolutely no need for embarrassment! Thanks for making this video

[@jkfiberarts]

Thank you!

[@suewinn4426]

only had my ESpinner a week I am a first time spinner. I am looking at ways to spin on youtube. This video was so good to watch. I am not ready for the thick and thin yet ,but look forward to trying it when I improve. May take a long time, but the yarn you made is so very beautiful. I really hope one day ........ sue

[@jkfiberarts]

You will get there sooner than you think! I have other videos for basic spinning. Check out the one on how to get a consistent ply.

[@amyschemidt7337]

Gorgeous yarn!!!

[@jkfiberarts]

Thank you! 😊

[@claudiahonig1870]

Thank you so much for this beautiful video. Will try that out next weekend. Spinning a non perfect yarn... oh my, lets see how it works 🙈🤣

[@jkfiberarts]

Have fun! It is addicting and so fast!

[@linr8260]

Such a beautiful colour combo! Thank you for making this, I was struggling with learning this technique and this gave me some pointers.

[@jkfiberarts]

Awesome! I am glad it was helpful!

[@jacquelinesalem2776]

Wow! that's beautiful. I'm going to give it a try with a blend I bought from a local farm. Thank you.

[@jkfiberarts]

Awesome! Have fun!!

[@zan_wild]

A little snap or just time will relax and distribute some of the twist energy won’t it? I usually give even my art yarns a bath, should I not?

[@jkfiberarts]

It you wet set baubles and thick and thin you can lose the yarn structure and some of the smoothness of the thick parts. I have done it both ways and steaming art yarn with some snapping works really well, and gives me the best finished product. All other yarns I wet set and either snap or thwack. Always use cold water.

Quedó hermoso👏

[@jkfiberarts]

Gracias!

[@AgataMekarska]

Beautyfull 💖 Thank you very much for this video, it was pleasure watching. (p.s. I'm in love with your Minstrel 🤭)

[@jkfiberarts]

Thank you! I am in love with my Minstrel too!

[@rachelkeller6378]

That is absolutely beautiful! Thanks for the tutorial. I try to "make" art yarn and it looks nice and then I soak it and kill it. Didn't realize I could steam it. Back to the drawing board. Where did you buy your silk?

[@jkfiberarts]

Glad you found it helpful! I get sofsilk and pulled silk sari from Camaj Fiber Arts. She is based out of Florida. camajfiberarts.com/
