[@josparadiseofcolor]

This wheel has been retired for a year now so no more groaning. My new wheels are: Super Jumbo E-spinner & a Majorcraft Rose 🌹.

You posed a question on wondering why this video was so popular. First, the picture of the spectacular yarn gets me every time I run across it when perusing your channel. Second, the instruction is clear and precise. Third, you include the how you solve the problems that arise. Fourth, the various techniques covered make it really fun to learn new things. Fifth, it is very relaxing to watch you spin!

Hey Jo! This is Shilo of Soft 2 the Touch Yarns and fiber. I love your content. Looking forward to more of you spinning and dyeing videos.

[@josparadiseofcolor]

Thank you 🥰😘😘 I'm going to do a live stream soon when my new wheel gets here so might make up some fiber and spin it for you. I'm planning some scouring videos, carding, rolags and beaded yarns.

[@josparadiseofcolor]

Question: What is it about this video you like the most compared to my other ones? This one's still going strong so thanking you all for the likes, comments & view's. 😘💕

Personally, I'm interested in creating art yarn and there aren't many videos on it out there. Also the photos and end result are amazing.

[@josparadiseofcolor]

@@lifenearthewater8981 thank you for your reply 💕 I have many videos of most of the art yarn techniques something for every level.

[@lentesneeuw100]

Nice art yarn , i like tp make it to , what kind of thread are you juicing to make the structure.

[@josparadiseofcolor]

I think I chose a Italian silk and sparkle weavers thread on a cone. About a 2-3ply weight.

[@sadiesspincraft6319]

Love the colours and wwhat a beautiful yarn did you dye the fiber yourself xx

[@sadiesspincraft6319]

Your wheel squeaks like mine does before I oil it they could chatter together xx

[@josparadiseofcolor]

Yes this is Spring Garden I've got a dyeing video for it :) and yes she is abit of a crazy chatter. I need to give her abit of TLC soon.

[@lisajohnstone5647]

Hi Jo, great video!! So clear, it's really good. I was just wondering what yarn you used to ply with?

[@josparadiseofcolor]

In this one I used a 3 strand Italian silk with Metallic Thread on a cone.

[@josparadiseofcolor]

And thank you 😊 it's one of my first videos and I've always wondered why this ones doing soo good compared to the others. 💖

[@amywilliams3881]

How do you keep from getting too much twist in the thinner parts as it is being pulled in after making a thick part?

[@josparadiseofcolor]

You need to control the speed you pedal so when you make the thick you want to start pedalling for a couple seconds to gain the twist again then slow down when making another thick. If you find you are getting too much twist loosen your tension ever so slightly and stop pedalling run the fiber tightly through your fingers towards you and this will remove the extra twist.

Your wheel is screaming oil........!

[@josparadiseofcolor]

yes I know she's been oiled since this video but I really need to give her some tender loving care. She's scheduled for a complete make over soon.

[@josparadiseofcolor]

Updating this comment I have since retired her and now have an Majorcraft Rose 🌹
