JAT Vlog Episode 3 - Breed Exploration

[@Betsieczeschin]

Fantastic episode. I liked learning how you chose your fiber blends and you made several points about different fibers that I hadn't heard before.

[@valeriepenrosee-lock3493]

Thankyou for a wonderful in depth look at your fibres and yarns. I have been spinning since the 1980s mostly from fleece, yet was captivated by your detailed, friendly and professional video. The urge to experience your fibres is becoming very strong!

[@trishpeacock]

Thanks for another fab video - you're all amazing that you can talk to the camera!

[@knittingcharms]

Thanks for the overview 👍😀🧶 Love your yarns. Especially the yarnadelic at the moment. 😍

[@olive5890]

Absolutely loved the video! I think there is so little out there about (British) breeds and how their properties affect our hand knits...hope you make more videos on this!

[@georginabird9354]

Thank you so much for this it was truly fascinating, and very informative, and also gave us more of an idea as to what to knit , it was wonderful, stay safe ❤❤ xx

[@gullrockfibres5098]

Fabulous episode! Yes please for a wool board vlog:) Off to sniff my Zwartbles fibre 😍😏

[@francoisgarcia7777]

Great video. So much so, I want to watch again. And will do after I have watched all the others.

[@Janet-ov7zx]

I really enjoyed such an in depth intro to your yarns based on the sheep breeds. I’m looking forward to trying even more of them.

[@katerinamach2349]

Thank you so much for an amazing vlog episode. I will watch again as it is packed with useful information and I enjoyed it so much. Now I want to try all your yarns. Keep well!

Great Vlog 😊 Yes please to a vlog from the wool graders 🤓

[@msznmszn]

Great job on the vlog! I love your fibers; recently I was knitting with Yarnadelic for the first time and had to stop every row to just stare at it and pet it. Cables+lace showing beautifully, wears so well for something this soft. And the colors of that range... Sometimes, when I need a little cheering up on a long day, I take out my Yarnadelic shade card and marvel at the color blends. That's a little TMI, but had to say it out loud somewhere ;)

[@suzannemortimer9752]

Ah that was great thanks, very informative..... and to think that I usually choose a fibre top purely by colour 🤣🤣🤣

[@jennybms]

Thank you - I so enjoyed this! I have just finished knitting two shawls and a pair of mittens in your glorious Yarnadelic, and had those to hand, as well as some Harvest Hues that arrived with me this week, ready to knit the Nairn cardigan from The Knitter. Great to be able to look at real life examples while you were talking!

[@mariette8184]

Thank you for this super interesting vlog again!

[@jacquelinedickinson504]

Enjoyed this episode so much, had to watch it again! Thank you all.

I absolutely love to see the mill (and all of you, of course ;-)). I am a student of Textile Technology at the university college of Gent (Belgium). I am most interested in the spinning of knitting yarns, yet sadly that is about the only thing we dont get to practice :-( We almost have ne wool spinning mills left in Belgium. How I would love to work in a mill like yours. Looks like great fun, and a fun bunch of people too! Looking forward to the next episode. Thank you so much for making these.

[@brendahamblin4559]

Never thought I’d watch this Vlog discussing John’s hormones! Lovely to see you all looking well. My favourite is your brown Corriedale. Lovely stuff. Even better with silk in it.

[@kenna8828]

Excellent episode! Loved the info and the examples- super helpful! Would also love to see a tour of the wool graders 😊

[@betsyprigg5276]

Another great video; I'm on my second watching. I wish I'd known about merino before I made three jumpers/cardigans for my little grandchildren - they've ended up looking like rags. Not your wool I must point out - bought in a sale from a local shop. Such useful advice. Didn't know about the super-wash aspect of it either. Also, I love the positivity cowl (Episode 4) but I can't crochet (yes, I know I could learn but I wouldn't want to practice on that), so do you have an knitting equivalent please? Lastly, which of your wools has more lustre than Devonia? You recommend trying one for the green cardigan, but I can't see which you mean. Thanks.

[@betsyprigg5276]

@@JohnArbonTextile Thank you so much for the info re gleaner (I'll definitely look for one of those), and the W Longwool sheep. Very helpful. The confusion was all mine - you knew what you were talking about. Keep up the good work re the vlogs - I love them!

[@deborahcherry1735]

Do you do a sample box of fibres so those new to spinning can try.(me) merino is everywhere and I don’t like that
