Kristy Glass Knits: Spincycle Mill Tour

[@miriammiller5671]

Thank you Kristy! Miss these interviews ❤

[@gfixler]

I am absolutely fascinated. I love machinery. I could just hang out with these ladies for days.

[@BettySusanne]

Loved this! As a hand spinner I can really see how they have taken their spinning to another level. 💚

[@kristyglassknits]

YES!

[@maggie2sticks717]

This has to be The Best of Kristy Glass Knits! I learned so much. Those ladies are really inspiring and I was amazed at the story of how they got their mill to their building. I could just see Tattoo Bob and the brothers hefting that thing! Their yarn is beautiful, their mill is so clean. You looked so happy, Kristy, I am really pleased you get to do these trips for us!

[@jennifermckenzie2968]

Oh my gosh, I love these two girls! They are so sweet and funny. I've always liked their yarn and now I really want to knit with it! Thank you for this video :)

[@katycarroll6551]

Fascinating! I'm so impressed with what Kate and Rachel are doing!

[@amylebeau2490]

These ladies rock! Restores my faith in humanity

[@kristyglassknits]

LOVE them!

[@karencompton4851]

I’m so glad you got to travel to the spin cycle mill. It was amazing to see the process and finished products and of course their knit wear💕💕💕 another great podcast😊

[@sleepydrJ]

That is an incredible tour! Thanks

[@veroniquetaschereau9514]

Awesome video! Thank you so much for taking us behind the scenes at Spincycle. It was so interesting and so inspiring! Thank you!

[@TRaceTK]

As a spinner/knitter, this was one of my favorite videos! So inspiring, time to bust out some of my hoarded “precious” handspun and knit it up 😀

[@kristyglassknits]

SO GLAD You loved it!

[@eastlynburkholder3559]

I enjoyed my virtual visit.

[@meegan6886]

Ok this was awesome. I was an early convert to Spincycle yarn - made my first hat from knit fast, dye young (love that it’s the MIA song, will forever sing it that way now). I’m literally knitting the shift owl as I watch, in one of the EYF kits that I set an alarm to snag. But here’s what I really love - I was almost feeling like the amazing Spinster ladies were just too cool, too gorgeous, too good of a story to be true. A little voice in my head was going so, are they like brand-perfect Instagram models who can’t even knit? (Sorry! Voice of cynicism!). I so loved seeing Rachel talk us through the dye room and Kate show us she is literally running, cleaning and repairing the heavy machinery. Sooooo great and inspiring. I’m back on board :)

[@kristyglassknits]

Glad you're back!

[@rhondakehrberg7724]

FASCINATING! I love seeing how things are made. Yet another yarn I must try 💜

[@bruzapetra]

Oh my, I ADORE these women😍🙏 The most interesting video ever. And ofcourse you as well, Thank you for making all these interesting videos and intervieus, all the best, Petra❤️

[@sueking6543]

Excellent interview Kristy! I always love seeing the process of fleece to yarn ..... and the drill! Why didn’t I think of that

[@deborahmountsier1222]

Because of your last video with them, I purchased some of their yarn at Stitches West! I loved this interview! Thank you for coming out to the west for several interviews! I hope you enjoyed the beautiful Northwest! I am heading to their website now to buy some of their new worsted yarn! Thanks again!

[@taraallen8881]

Love those Spin Cycle ladies and good to see the Northwest represented!

[@kristyglassknits]

More to come...

[@prjonea]

I love this video!! Hope you can do more of this intimate visits to special places and meeting unique people!!

[@adriennebowen6301]

This episode was absolutely amazing to see. I have never seen a yarn mill before. I am familiar with Spincycle yarns through Instagram. I loved seeing behind the scenes and all the steps in the production process. Thank you for bringing this too us.

[@kristyglassknits]

So glad you loved it. You may enjoy northlight and green mountain spinnery on my channel as well...

[@encyaustin7410]

Fabulous interview! Their yarn is gorgeous 🧡👌

[@kristyglassknits]

Ency have you knit with it?

[@belindafernandes5712]

Very interesting... great job.. I will appreciate my Spincycle yarn even more!

[@kristyglassknits]

[@zoedvega3923]

[@kristyglassknits]

So glad I could introduce you!

[@lizmaraston]

This video is amazing! Thank you Kristy.

[@kristyglassknits]

my pleasure!

[@NSPDesigns]

Well now I need alllll of the spincycle yarn.

[@kristyglassknits]

yes you do!

[@jeaninebatt4009]

I’m so excited I can come with you on your knitting adventures without leaving my house

[@cmaur811]

Great work girls! Excited to see all this done by both hand dyed roving and spun by machine.I have to buy/make that twist machine. Being a hand spinner- I’m so jelly you own this amazing set up. Just to have a pin drafting machine is in my dreams. Thank you Kristy Kate & Rachel

[@kristyglassknits]

Glad you liked it!

[@jsorensens2]

Fantastic! Loved every minute of this!

[@kristyglassknits]

SO GLAD!

[@DixieGirl9876]

Thoroughly enjoyed, well done Kristy! Definitely a micro mill I've worked the commercial ones and those machines are75-100 feet long, not an easy job. The humidity needs to be right for them to run properly (less breakouts). Definitely keep the air as clean as possible, white lung is an issue with mill workers as well as lung cancer for commercial dyers, some food for thought.

[@kristyglassknits]

Good tips thanks

[@OpheliaGreen454]

OMG this video is sooo good!!!!!! 😱😱😱 I wish I could work at that place!! 😥😱😍

[@kristyglassknits]

So fun right!?

[@rnchimilar]

The Best....only a short way across the line. Brambleknits

[@margaretsamplerlover]

Loved seeing this! I have yet to work with Spincycle yarns, but I have some in stash and am constantly drooling over the kits on their website.

[@kristyglassknits]

I know! I am knitting my first sweater with it soon.

[@margaritadeverson2098]

How amazing! Thank you for the tour! Such a small group of ladies making so much beautiful yarn! Question- what pattern is that hat you’re wearing?!?!?!

[@stacyberg5428]

That was sooo cool n I love your hat 💖💖

[@lisawierzbicki4994]

This was fabulous! Loved it but when they talked about the kill switch, all I could think of was Nathan Lane’s brother in Mouse Hunt when his clothes unravel in the string mill!!!🐭😹🤣

[@kristyglassknits]

LOL!

[@marygracemaresh7725]

I LOVED this video! Great job Kristy! What pattern is she knitting with the teal/blue colored yarn? Didn't quite catch it. Cumulus???? It looks like it is going to be SO pretty.

[@pasaru2585]

Какая красота!Нет слов!

[@Skitwo]

You can splice yarn by hand without liquid by separating the plies on each end and then removing 1/2 of the plies by gently tugging them out then laying both ends together and rubbing them quickly and tightly between your palms for a few seconds until your hands get really warm. Then look at the yarn and smooth it out by rubbing in the area it's not smooth....same result as that 2000.00USD splicer tool...and your hands come attached to you and you can carry them around everywhere. As long as the yarn is Non super wash you can do this. Even with other animal fibers. Not plant fibers though.

[@jamiethrogmorton2540]

My local yarn shop!!!🎉

[@eileensnyder1275]

this is one of my favorite video this month. these gals are fabulous. does spincity spin fingering yarn?

[@kristyglassknits]

I don't think so!? I think dyed in the wool (sport) is the smallest weight

[@kdgeckoknits274]

Great tour!

[@kristyglassknits]

Glad you liked it!

[@borigitana]

Hi Kristy! Def one of my faves. Can I ask what is the name of the cowl Kate shows with the gray and pink arrows? She says it but I can't tell what she is saying. I went back a few times to re-listen but it didn't help. Thanks!

[@kymle9118]

did you ever find out? I couldn't catch it either

[@knittingsalon]

who is your charming sidekick? loved the video and now I want to get their yarn!

[@hollynoscar3534]

oMG that splicer is the bomb. totally worth $2000 just to avoid weaving in ends ever again!!!! right?

[@Jenger69]

Kristy STOP IT, JUST PLEASE STOP IT NOW! Every time I watch one of these episodes, I need to buy lots of new yarn. I want that orange sweater too and the hat kits with the pompoms and several bags of the DK sweater yarns. And and and .......ugh! Maybe I could buy another house just so I can have more yarn?

[@anniehartvig1228]

The orange sweater, i just love the pattern. Who designed it and Can i buy it on Ravelry ? Love your podcast - now sitting in the Sun in my garden in Denmark😎 Annie

[@kristyglassknits]

[@jentextiles]

Kristy so interesting but a friend with you would be great help for you to hold the camera?

[@nanashell652]

I hope my local yarn shop carries spincycle

[@Jokyl989]

The shared gasp at 17:05...

[@ellenkennedy796]

I love all of your videos Kristy but I can’t watch the ones where you are moving bc the movement of the camera is too harsh ☹️ I always try and start watching ALL of them but have to stop due to motion sickness. I know it’s hard to be super smooth but could you please try to be less severe in the movement bc I hate switching you off 😩😘

[@kristyglassknits]

I know! I try to keep that in mind when shooting and editing but i don’t have a steady cam! Sorry... luckily most of them I am stationary!

[@ellenkennedy796]

kristyglassknits I cant get enough of your stationary interviews and podcasts. You have hit the mark with your interviews. Great niche in the market. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍👌😘

[@lydiasobocinski9651]

[@kristyglassknits]

Did she say it??

[@lydiasobocinski9651]
