From Mystery Fibers to Handspun Yarn - A Game Wheel Randomly Chooses my Spin! 🧶

[@JillianEve]

I had so much fun making this video! I hope you all enjoy some laughs with me! 💚🧶😊 Also, did you know I have a shop now? Check it out for merch, fiber, wheels, and looms! jillianeve-fiber-art.myshopify.com/

[@lunalucid]

Well, I didn't think I would ever see someone try to spin broccoli (aka "wool neps") into yarn, but I had a lot of fun watching! 😂

[@JillianEve]

🥦🧶💚😊

[@valerieellison2483]

I think wool neps are used to make tweed yarn.

[@FogyArts]

I'm one of those new fiber friends!

[@lolly-loushowtos6834]

That was actually pretty fun to watch. You should do it again. Your videos are always fun. Your enthusiasm is contagious.

[@YAYAYASHA]

Your face at 9:04 took me out 😂 I’m so glad I came across your channel last weekend your videos got me through my 16hr shift 🙌🏽 I don’t spin but I crochet and watching your videos makes me want to get my hands on this new skill ❤️❤️❤️

[@emma7933]

I knit and I'm in the same boat.

[@lorainew4281]

You haven’t spun the wheel in a long time! This was so fun! I always get so hung up on which fibers “go together” and this reminds me that anything goes! Fiber freedom lol! Thanks Evie! 😍

[@nicolelafontaine1720]

That was so much fun to watch. Great result! I really enjoy the technical words definitions by the sheep. I pause and read carefully. Thanks !

[@JillianEve]

Wonderful! I was hoping it would be helpful! 🐑🧶😊

[@seamseams]

I found your channel less than a week ago. Today I bought my first spinning wheel! It is an old one and I got it for very cheap. I am so excited to get to know all the quirks of this wheel. And it is super pretty, so if I end up being terrible at spinning, at least I have a beautiful decorative wheel to enjoy!

[@JillianEve]

Good luck with your wheel! If you want extra help, check out my Patreon to access my Discord! 🧶💚😊

[@lydiamashcka4362]

Oh stop, you have never shown us anything 'hideous' everything has always been super cool and very interesting.

[@JillianEve]

🥰🥰🥰🧶💚

[@Ane_Rikke]

I would love another one of these wheel-of-fortune blend-and-spins! 🎉

[@MsSavvy9]

Thumbs up! I'm 42! LOL I understood as soon as the sheep popped up *high fives*

[@christenagervais7303]

Evie, you're just too sweet! You will give anything a go!

[@JillianEve]

Life is meant to be lived, and I choose to live it with adventures in yarn! 🤣🤣🤣🧶

[@sherryperry67]

I was so happy to see the Wheel of Mystery back! Great reminder to not take spinning too seriously and have fun!

[@JillianEve]

So much fun! 😊🧶💚

[@lorimurphy889]

Oh wow I love the texture of that yarn. I remember the wheel of fiber its fun to see what you get

[@SusanS588]

I thought “Oh no, not Clippie”. I hated Clippie. but I like the sheep. It’s off to the side and has real information.

[@lanaparker293]

What a fun experiment! Always brightens my day to watch your videos. Thanks for the explanation of terms. It is very helpful!

[@JillianEve]

Thank you! I'm so glad the sheep was helpful too! 🐑😊

[@kelseyroberts1545]

I'm not involved in fiber art at all but you're such a ray of sunshine and everything is so pretty, I could watch your videos for hours

[@redfeather7986]

I love the sheep friend! I have some pretty serious brain fog and although I've seen a ton of your videos, a little reminder is a big help! Keep on doing whatever you want, we're here for the adventure with you!

[@noidlehands2019]

I love Clippy! Thank you including the sheep to help people out. I love the Wheel of Fortune wheel.

[@KJROREX]

Goosebumps yarn. I love it!

[@JillianEve]

All the throw backs! Goosebumps...clippy...it feels like the 90s! 🤣💚🧶

[@anna-marianasstrom3015]

I love Sheep information. Thank you for the good laugh. I think I want to start experimenting with fiber after seeing this 😀❤️

[@JillianEve]

Go for it! 🧶💚😊

[@domvalentine9137]

i didnt realize how long its been since youve brought out the wheel of mystery!! what a fun treat to see again :)

[@samanthaadioetomo5480]

your face at 9.04 🤣 im dying, evie!! LOVE the resurrection of the WOM. made my day. happy spinning!

[@carlacrazymom]

oo ooo ooo...i see a textured bathmat in that yarn's future. I thought this combo was going to make a mess, but I LOVE it!

[@JillianEve]

I was scared for a minute there too! 🤣🤣🤣🧶💚

[@daniellewest876]

That was a fun project. I'd love to see more like this.

[@margaretthomas6643]

I know the terminology but love the sheep - what a great idea to make your videos understandable for all levels of knowledge.

[@squitten.]

Oh no is this the ONLY mystery wheel video you’ve done?? I LOVED this video! I’m so sad to see there isn’t more on your channel 😭

[@charlot-temisery]

Definitely a loki varient. I love the outcome and it looks so much fun to spin from random fibers

[@valeriegeorgevitch3876]

This is so much fun -- have to say the blending board looks like poor Oscar the Grouch got stuck in a blender ….

[@JillianEve]

🤣💚🧶 Oh no! Oscar the Grouch!!! 🤣

[@katyarncrafts]

I remember Clippie as well. 😅 That was fun and I think the Loki Variant reference is on point! 😂

[@sikari_likes_birds]

This spin was such an adventure, I absolutely love the result. I hope to see whatever it turns into one day! 💚

[@lunalucid]

Oh I looove the sheep friend! 😄🐏 What a cool idea! Thank you so much! (And yes, I remember Clippy... 😂👵😅)

[@wycohibito]

I do enjoy your wheel of mystery spins. The first one I watched was a wheel of mystery.

[@morganc5154]

That yarn is so beautiful!! I'd really love to see what you eventually do with it 😍

[@miridarkstar4769]

that looked like a lot of fun

[@JillianEve]

I had so much fun! I'm still finding wool nepps everywhere too so it's like the fun never ends... 🤣💜🧶

[@timothychandler1725]

I like 👍 it, and the wheel is a great idea 💡 😉. So is this going be Mark new socks or something for him , because he 📞 called 😉. Lol!

[@JillianEve]

Don't encourage him! 🤣🤣🤣

[@felicitycrowe6971]

Absolutely love this video!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@bonnie5601]

This was fun to watch! I washed my alpaca and llama fiber and hand cleaned so I’m spinning with nubs and it’s fun watching them jump out but I’ve been able to keep a lot within the spin. THANK YOU for the video

[@gerryivkovich1857]

I should try this. I have so much fiber it would be a good way to randomly use it up. The surprise was fun. Blessings.

[@robinboston5948]

Very cool project. I never would have thought of it.

[@lizrose7195]

This was so much fun to watch and a very cool idea! Thank you! 🧶💖

The journey and experience, and knowledge gained... 10 out of 10! Loki yarn for sure! Hugs

Great video! At least for me. That board is really creative. Like what you did with the yarn.

[@JillianEve]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@CrowingHen]

Sheepie is way better than Clippie. Love this approach to spinning. Thanks for sharing the journey with us.

[@JillianEve]

I like the sheep too! Happy spinning! 😊🐑🧶

[@amyscott9381]

I don't know why you ever have doubts about the Wheel of Mystery, you always turn the selections into a beautiful and interesting yarn!

[@UnwindingwithFiberandFabric]

Loved it❣️ and now I want to spin some Loki yarn too😹 Thank you for such a joyful video ❤️

[@jenniferbrighty5120]

Hi Evie, I hope you're all OK xx 💗 Thankyou so much for sharing this video podcast. This was perfect timing for me, as I tend to over think about my Spinning and end up Nowhere. This was so much fun, interesting and inspirational. Thankyou for sharing your expertise. Happy Spinning Fibre Friend 🐏 ❤ Take care and stay safe Lots of love to you, Mark and your Boys Jen xxxx 🧡❤🫂🫂🎆🥰

[@JillianEve]

You are so welcome! If you want to try it too, you could write some fibers on paper and pull them out of a hat! Happy spinning! 🧶😊💚

I got this video on recommendations, and I find this very interesting! Awesome video

[@JillianEve]

Glad you enjoyed it! 😊🧶💚

[@kathybrownell5095]

What fun! The face you made over the neps is one I made when I found some in a Paradise bag. When they ended up in your hair I was LOL.

[@JillianEve]

I'm still finding them everywhere! 🤣🤣🤣

[@runtsgal]

It actually turned into a nice funky yarn. Had to laugh at the neps in your hair though 😂

[@JillianEve]

They are still EVERYWHERE! 🤣🤣🤣

[@bethliebman8169]

Fun game! Fetch the Roomba.

[@JillianEve]

I'm still finding nepps everywhere, even after I swept! 🤣🧶💜

[@louthelost]

This was so fun to watch! A little terrifying not knowing how it would turn out, but I actually love the final product, purple and green have always been my favourite colour combination so I (perhaps a little biased) thought it was gorgeous. Also I really appreciated the little sheep popping up to give definitions for terminology, very helpful (I also remember clippy very fondly)

[@carllee8383]

Good idea for those of us who are creatively challenged.

[@Ravencall]

I miss Clippie. I liked the kitty chasing the mouse cursor, too.

[@CobraCreates]

Well at least the sheep is a lot cuter and more helpful than Clippy ever was! The stuff on the blending board looked sooo pretty. I would have been tempted to just leave it like that and felt it into a wool painting 😆

[@MijnWolden]

Yes. Chaosyarn. I love it.

[@sondrahenriksen6029]

That looks fantastic. I'm really learning a lot from you. I have been spinning for 2 and a half years. I'm finding some fun things with you.

[@JillianEve]

I'm so glad! 😊🧶💚

[@kathrynmurphy8147]

That was such a fun video and very informative. So fun to watch that it made me late to pick up my son from the station. Haha. Thanks Evie. Xxx

[@shadowlandsfarmandcreamery5400]

The neps heard you talk about Loki and decided to be neps of mischief!🤔🤣 Love from Maine! ~Deb

[@JillianEve]

I think they were definitely mischief! 🤣🤣🤣

[@msdreamz6068]

Lol absolutely fun! And yes very Loki vibe 💚

[@JillianEve]

💚🧶😊

[@scummins4233]

Love the texture. Would love to see what you do with the yarn ❤

[@mariepla1370]

This video was lot of fun. I'm so excited, after 3 years of just spinning with spindles, I finally ordered an Adford kiwi 3 spinning wheel. Should be delivered by August 8th. I've never spun with a wheel before. Wish me luck.

[@BrandilynEsquivel503]

I'm wondering how long it takes to spin yarn on a spindle enough to make something...I just did my first try using 2 oz of roving, and it did not make enough yarn to do anything with because my yarn is so inconsistent, but even if I could get it into an even size..would it take years to make enough to make a shawl or something??

[@Ann-ed1bq]

I had fun watching this, and I don’t care for neps either, but loved how the mystery wheel threw its own idea out there. It’s like shooting dice! 😊

[@JillianEve]

😊🧶💚

[@annathy]

I LOVED CLIPPY!

[@nimeryaspawnbrd1049]

it was a whole minute since the last time I've heard someone mentioning Clippy 🤣 Sheeppy is even more cute and useful! 😆 I'm a compulsive crocheter (for decades now... a LOT of decades) and I'm literally salivating for your yarns! 😍😍😍 this Loki one turned out great, I already see it as a bucket bag, or some "structured" accessory ❤

[@Laura-vr2nd]

I’ve learned a lot from your tutorials and even dusted off my Sidekick. You’ve explained several things that have always confused me in a way that I finally got it. I’ve looked through your videos? Do you have one where you explain woolen vs. worsted? I understand the differences in the yarn but not really how to achieve spinning the different types.

[@Coastalwoolwashing]

So fun! So here’s a question, are neaps the same things that make tweed yarn?

[@JillianEve]

I'm going to investigate because this is an excellent question! 🕵️‍♀️🧶

[@AdamChenevert]

i haven't spun in years, but i love your videos

[@JillianEve]

Thank you! Maybe I'll inspire you to go for another spin! 😁🧶💜

[@Bellbebell]

Every time, malabrigo 😍😍😍

[@JillianEve]

The colors are always 😍😍😍

[@rachelkeller6378]

I love that yarn! What a fun experiment. I don't think I would ever use the nibs... Do you have a video on how to make a blended board?

[@melanieo15]

Oh my gosh, I totally forgot about Clippy! Love all your spinning videos!

[@dexterlovesannie]

I'm feeling your pain, I hate nepps! Never working with them again, but I absolutely love the yarn and I'm really glad to have the wheel back - I was thinking about it the other day, so yay!!

[@stitchwithbritt5922]

Very pretty yarn🥰 I would like to see you spin soy bean top and milk fiber at some point💕

[@JillianEve]

I'll put the milk fiber on my list. I have some soy though. Maybe I'll add it to the next wheel of mystery? This was fun, so I think I'll do more in the future! 💚😊🧶

[@stitchwithbritt5922]

@@JillianEve it’s very fun to watch 🥰 I love how unique the yarn came out! So fun!

[@lindseyasher1982]

You could put a command hook on your table to keep your blending board steady when you’re making rolags :) that looks like it takes some muscle lol

[@JillianEve]

I probably could! That's a good idea. If I'm doing lots of work on the blending board, I use a clamp but it gets in the way of the camera view. 💡🧶😊

[@vane_lao]

I'm sorry for being the person to tell you this but you're not able to do boring stuff... I'm sorry, it's just out of your nature. I love the smart sheep friend and also love the interactions with your husband 'cause you guys are so cute! The result is pleasent to me, reminds of me of a park/square ground made of stone with grass growing between the tiles 😄 I like it, it fanciful in some way.

[@JillianEve]

Thank you so much! 🥰🧶💚

[@resourcedragon]

Yes! I remember Clippy! If I'm going to be absolutely honest, I wasn't his biggest fan.

[@amethyst5538]

That was my first thought when I seen the colors that the board chose. Loki.💕 😂 Edit: With the texture that would make a fun scarf or shawl yarn. I would love some yarn like that for a project!🤣

[@michellemckinney1513]

Those green wool neps looked like a cross between a chia pet and broccoli 🤣🤣🤣

[@JillianEve]

Now that's all I see! 🧶😂🥦

[@leahc8042]

What a fun project! The yarn reminds me of Halloween

[@JillianEve]

🎃💚😊🧶

[@aolster3198]

Lovely! Next question, what does that Loki yarn want to be worked into?

[@morgang5209]

I’m going to call this Loki Pop(corn) and Locks Yarn haha Also, I wonder if the neps would have held better in the rolags if when taking them off of the blending board you rolled the dowels away from you, thus keeping them on the inside of the rolags?

[@JillianEve]

Oh no! We need to try it again to find out! 😊🧶

[@Verityville]

I can tell you not used to the craziness of free flowing & wild texture.

[@torkakarshiro5170]

Looks to me like moss growing on a stonewall. I like that.

[@dianapulido1807]

I had forgotten about Clippie. The yarn turned out great, I really like it even though green is not a color I'm crazy about. I bet you'll be finding the wool neps all year long reminds of confetti. I'm new here so I don't know if you did a video on chain plying but I always wanted to know how that is done because I love chain plyed yarn.

[@JillianEve]

Welcome, and thank you! I do have a few chain ply videos. They are older though, and I probably need to do an update. 😊🧶

[@drewadrawing]

I'm a new fan of your channel and this video was just so fun to watch!

[@fyrecraftedgaming]

Yass Loki yarn! Best marvel char and best deity, but dont tell Odin I said that

[@JillianEve]

💚🧶

[@ceceliastoutjesdyk2858]

i loved this video!! it was so fun. it would make a great Halloween project

[@micahmilne]

Now that you say it I can see how it looks like the yarn is pulling. To me it looks like... Like if Shrek had warts. But I do love the rest of it. Love that floofy alpaca haloey addition.

[@heathermacmaster5666]

So I just spun some yarn with a blend that is 40% mohair, 35% CVM wool and 25% Llama. This has been my most favorite fiber to spin! It is sooooo soft! So what is CVM wool? I want to make more of this blend!

[@creativitybytrisha6819]

Some suggestions if you have them in stash - sari silk, corriedale, bfl, firestar, banana, Jacob. If you have a scraps jar for random fibers that don't make it to final product that would be neat to see how it goes together

[@JillianEve]

✍ sari silk ✍ corriedale ✍ bfl ✍ firestar ✍ banana ✍ Jacob... got it! 😊🧶

omg clippy yes xD throwback

[@samanthaperrin6567]

i need more of this we need some mystery for 2025!!

[@theothertiffany8728]

Sooo, if neps don't stay in spinning fibers well, what ARE you supposed to do with them? Crochet a snowglobe and they are the confetti you shake around inside? 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@JillianEve]

I think they would be fantastic for wet felting. A few did stay in the yarn, and I wonder if a "stickier" wool would hold onto them better than the alpaca. 🤔😊🧶

[@robinboston5948]

I remember Clippy.

[@coralcee]

I had a good giggle. Never thought to spin the pills that I take off some of my jumpers.

[@JillianEve]

We should all start little jars to put the wool bits in! 🤣💚🧶

[@StephanieMayfieldDIG]

Would it be a true Loki yarn without a mischievous element? The neps had to be part of it :).

[@JillianEve]

Absolutely! 😂🧶💚
