I have some housekeeping to update you on and then we finish with a new segment to the show, Weaving. I have some tea towels to share, as well as a new piece of equipment that came home on the weekend with us! Enjoy the show!
This week’s show is a slightly different format and I hope you enjoy it. We chat a bit at the beginning but get into two wheel demos instead of just showing yarn or projects.

Patrons of the show, I hope I see you on the weekend for our first Maker Morning! Enjoy!

Thank you for joining us this episode. Welcome to new and returning viewers. Thank you to our Patreon support community – I hope you are enjoying our next 51 SAL challenge, which are ‘semi’ yarns. In this week’s show, we chat about a couple of community questions, including a follow up from a previous Spinning Growth submission. She’s started knitting her socks and they look great – it’s amazing how far we can push our yarns, even when we think they are ‘less than’. We answer a question about thwacking: When, why, do I have to? A great discussion to say the least. Thank you to Chat for your enthusiasm and conversations – you make the show so much richer for your contributions. Enjoy the show!
Thank you for joining us this week! Welcome to new and returning viewers. I appreciate your time spent watching the show. Please make sure you join the Ravelry group here. Thank you for your continued patronage, Patreon community. We will be celebrating our Patreon Anniversary of 3 years (!!) in June – please stay tuned for more. In this weeks show, we discuss the Breed & Colour Studies that the community has been working away on in the background. Thank you for all of your sharing. I share some progress on the sampling process of my Shetland – I have spun up a 3-ply yarn that I quite like. I share some finished yarns – three to be specific and I’ve even started knitting with one of them! Lastly, we look at some yarn that was shared in the Spinning Growth thread and chat about how colours muddy. Enjoy the show!
Thank you for joining me this week. Welcome to new and returning viewers. I appreciate your time spent with me. Welcome to new and old patrons of the show – you guys keep us on the air month-after-month! This week, I share some spinning and fibre preparation that people have been working on for the most recent Breed & Colour Studies – Carlotta’s Stones. I’m so pleased to see these new spins from our community. I share an ongoing, large project that I’ve been working on for a while. I’ve mentioned it on the podcast before but I’ve been sampling the yarn on my Zoom Loom. I share a new spin that I’m working on for socks. And lastly, we get into the nitty-gritty of crepe yarn in our Spinning Growth section. Enjoy!
Thank you for joining me this week. This month, there will be 3 shows due to our missed show in March. I’m not sure what has been going on over here the past couple of weeks but I have a ton of finished items to share with you. While I haven’t had much in terms of knitting mojo (although I have finished my #grotine shawl), I’ve been spinning a ton! I have multiple finished yarns to share with you – but I’m going to hold back a few of them to share with you in later in the month or we’d be here all day! I share some new projects with you, as well as, a spin that took 2 years on my spindles. In particular, I’m really excited to share with you my Eden stole that I wove off the loom last week. Enjoy the show!
Welcome to new and returning viewers of the show – I appreciate spending some time with you, chatting about all things spinning and using our handspun. Thank you to our patron community for continuing to support the show. If you are curious about Patreon, please have a watch here for information. Today, we discuss a spin I’ve been working on for a while but haven’t shared yet that is part of a larger project I’m envisioning on a loom. Next, we chat about this month’s Crafty Jaks fibre club, and I have some announcements to make. Last, we have a spinning growth about a combo Gotland/Silk spin. I look forward to your thoughts about this spin. Enjoy the show!
Thank you for joining us this week! This week, I share my reflections on Fibres West, a large local fibre festival that Katrina and I were at last weekend. Thank you to those who came up and introduced themselves, said hi and chatted — I appreciated your time and kindness. I have a couple of projects in progress at the moment and some finished objects as well!
Thank you for joining us this week! Welcome to new and returning viewers – I appreciate you being here! Thank you for the ongoing support to our patrons of the show – you keep the show alive month after month. This week, we had some technical difficulties at the beginning and I appreciate you for sticking around while I tried (and failed) to fix it. I shared some works in progress, including a guild project I am working on and a sock yarn I recently finished. I also share a finished woven scarf that I am incredibly happy with the results of! We had a great Spinning Growth to chat about this week and I’m so pleased Greta posted her great photos and shared her experience (links below). Enjoy the show!
Thank you for joining us today! Welcome to the show – thank you to our Patreon community for continuing to support the work I do here. If this is your first time tuning in, welcome and welcome back to those returning viewers! This week, we chat about my personal exploration of the Breed & Colour Studies, as well as, showcase some community members’ projects. Next, I share some works in progress and this month’s Crafty Jaks Fibre club. Last, we get into a discussion about some projects I am planning to weave in the near-future, including some projects using handspun. We will be saving the Spinning Growth for next time. Enjoy the show!

Thank you for tuning in this week! Welcome to new & returning viewers. Welcome to our Patreon community – thank you for your ongoing support of the show. You are the ones who keep me on the air month after month! This week, we have a lot of yarn chatter about the current Breed & Colour Study. We look at some of the projects from the community. Next, we chat about a Spinning Growth that was particularly interesting to me because it is another sweater. Lastly, we answer a question that came up in that thread but I’m treating as an Ask Anything instead! It’s a full show again — let’s get into it!
Welcome to the show! Happy New Year! For many, we are well into the swing of January and the new season but I hope your holiday break was lovely, restful and full of making. Do you have any plans or goals for the new year? Anything you’d like to accomplish? I know there are a few in the community who are hoping to make this the year of their handspun sweaters – very exciting! In the show this week, I chat about our Breed and Colour Study of Masham and the colourway, ‘Starry Night’ that Katrina developed for us. I share a couple of finished objects, including a wrap in some handspun singles and my Radiate sweater by Joji Locatelli. It’s amazing what we can do when we have some quiet time! Lastly, we get into a large spinning growth about colour management. Enjoy the show!
Thank you for joining us this week! It is our last show for 2018 – thank you to those who took time out of their schedule to spend the almost 2 hours it took to record since we had some technical difficulties with Internet halfway through. Welcome to new viewers of the show, thank you to those who are returning and a special shout-out to those who are patrons of the show. I appreciate all of your support! This month, we talked about an interesting spinning growth that re-enforced for us that swatching is really important and in fact, they can ‘lie’ to us without swatching large enough, adjusting needle sizes and taking into account general knitting changes as we work on our project. Next, we delve into the sample skein I’ve started for the current Breed & Colour Studies. Some have started receiving their fibre, some have even started spinning so please head over to the Ravelry group to share! We then discussed my finished Hawser yarn – what an interesting plying test. This yarn is probably the most difficult yarn to ply I’ve ever made. I gave a very brief update on my Noel yarn – I’ve really made no progress on it this past week. Lastly, I share my progress on my Radiate pullover that I’ve started in the past week. The yarn is deep stash that I spun in 2015 from Westcoast Colour. I’m loving the knit thus far and will share my progress next time! I hope you enjoy the show – Happy Holidays & a safe, happy, healthy New Year to you and yours!
Thank you to those who joined us this week on the live stream – your time means a lot to me and I appreciate spending this time with you all. To those who are returning or new viewers of the show, welcome! This week, we chatted about an extra fine Merino & Bamboo spin that was our feature for Spinning Growth. We discussed tension, managing flyaway fibres and over-plying for certain situations. Next, we chatted about socks at great length. I discussed the fabric that I’ve created recently from opposing 3-ply to smooth 4-ply fabric. We talk about the surface of the fabrics and the differences. Lastly, I share some swatching I’ve been doing and I discuss the finishing touches that I made to my Sparkle Cardigan by Joji Locatelli. I give a brief update on the book Katrina and I are working on – we are hoping to have it released in the Spring. I hope you enjoy the show this week!
Thank you for joining us this week. Welcome to new and returning viewers. Thank you especially to the patrons of the community. You can learn more about how to support the show here. Congratulations to Jessica and Carolyn this month for winning the monthly & calendar giveaway! This week, I introduced our current colours for the Breed & Colour Study. We will be studying Masham, using a photo submitted by Megan of lykkemeg (Ravelry). We discussed these colours at length & I hope you are looking forward to the study as much as I am! For patrons of the show, please watch your email for the link to be sent to you November 23rd to get started! Later that day, the listing will be made public for everyone to participate. Please don’t feel that you need to purchase fibre to participate — just grab some Masham, dye your own or use something already dyed, and jump in with us! The chatter link is here. Post finished yarns and projects here. For the remainder of the show, we chatted about a finished spin that I worked to finish but the finished yarn bled during the washing and created some interesting effects. I could be disappointed but I can’t do anything about it so I am going to go with it! I also give you an update on my Sparkle cardigan. We have a large Spinning Growth segment this week, as well, and I wanted to thank Jillaine for her detail she gave during her post on Ravelry to reflect on this project.
Thank you for tuning in this week! This is a little late being released because I had the pleasure of spending the weekend with some of my favourite fibre people. I’ll tell you about my weekend next show. In the meantime, we chatted about my Sparkle Cardigan progress, a woven blanket that I finished but was interrupted countless times during the process and some singles yarn I made on a whim! Welcome to new viewers – thank you for joining us. Thank you to returning viewers and as always, especially thank you to our Patreon community who keeps the show on the air month-after-month. We are exploring a lot of sock content right now in the Patreon community so if you’d like to hear and read about all of that content, please check out this reward tier so that you don’t miss out on anything. I hope you enjoy the show this week.
Thank you for tuning in this week! We had to move the Live Stream one week early due to an unbelievable number of field trips this month. I love the Fall and the cool, crisp mornings, which are perfect for wearing sweaters and shawls; however, the number of pumpkin patch trips is a bit overwhelming. There’s the actual pumpkin patch visits and then follow-up ‘pumpkin days’ that involve experiments and decorating (I’m thinking that means carving but knives in school is probably not a thing so …?). While they will be fun, it meant moving the stream dates. I hope it wasn’t too much of an inconvenience. The next date for patrons has been posted here. I updated some of the goals that we are working towards on Patreon – please have a read at the ‘Goals’, which are listed on the left-hand sidebar of the home page. Of particular note are regular “secret” monthly making vlogs in which I bring you along with me on my making throughout the month. While on the podcast, I chat about all of my projects that are in progress and finished, I don’t actually take you along with with me as I make. I thought this would be a great opportunity for me to share with you techniques I’m trying, thoughts on certain projects “in the moment” if you will, and overall to understand my process a bit more. Some of these will be live streamed! Also, I wanted to mention a really big change coming to Wool n’ Spinning Radio. For those who are already patrons of the show, you will know that this is the audio podcast that accompanies the show. I’ve had guests on the show, as well as patrons in our own community. It’s taken a while for the show to ‘find its voice’ so-to-speak but after many conversations about our venture together, makerRadio, Katrina and I have come together to continue making a podcast together but now only on Wool n’ Spinning Radio. Having two separate podcasts, in essence three when we take into account the videocast, is difficult to maintain but combining what makerRadio was and Wool n’ Spinning Radio is creates a sort-of new podcast for you! This will continue to be available for patrons monthly, and those subscribed to the early bird content will receive the show on the 1st of every month (barring issues) and then the entire community will have access come the 7th. Katrina and I will be chatting about topics we find relevant at the time, quotes and ideas we come across (or are shared by the community), and the ongoing breed and colour studies, as we’ve been doing. We will also invite guests on to chat with us, like we did in August with Becca, and maybe even turn on the webcam once in a while to record the show in person as a video (it would still be released in audio but a video link to YouTube would also be provided). I hope you’ll tune in to listen!
Thank you for tuning in this week! For those who made it to the Live Stream, thank you for your time. The links didn’t work at first but I re-loaded the Patreon post and then we were smooth sailing. Thank you for baring with me. Welcome to new and returning viewers – I appreciate you joining us here! This week, I award all the prizes for Tour de Fleece – Congratulations to the winners! Thank you to everyone who participated – it’s a really fun thing to do during July every year. Next, we cover a brief Spinning Growth chat and then, I chat about my Llama & Silk blend that I’d plied last time but hadn’t washed, finished and re-skeined yet. Lastly, we spend quite a bit of time talking about sock yarn, my current sock project and a new sock spin on the wheel with opposing plies, the theoretical advantages and thoughts for more sock yarn experiments. Enjoy the show!
Thank you for joining us this week. For those who joined the live stream, thank you for taking the time to do so! Welcome to anyone returning or new to the show: I appreciate you checking us out! This week, we catch up after the summer months. I announce a September giveaway but forgot to grab the fibre from the other room to show you (oops!). We pay tribute to Wayne Capar, an amazing and talented spindle maker from Manitoba, Canada. And I catch you up on all the sock knitting I’ve been doing! Enjoy the show!
Thank you for joining me this week! Welcome to new and returning viewers. Thank you to the patrons of the show – I really appreciate your continued support. It’s hot here — the air is heavy with forest fire smells! We chatted about some spinning growth, some finished socks (which I haven’t photographed yet) and some languishing projects that I am trying to figure out how to get finished. I hope you enjoy the show!
Thank you for your support in getting us to episode 100! What an amazing ride! Thank you to those who were able to make it this week. I really appreciated your patience around the technical issues we had at the beginning of the show – I have edited all of that out but after 100 shows, I’m grateful that this is the first time we’ve really had any issues! Thank you again to all of you. In today’s episode, I share a new spin in progress, as well as, some sock knitting. Enjoy the show!
Thank you for joining me this week – we chatted about a lot of things! Welcome to new and returning viewers. Thank you to our Patreon community for keeping the show on the air month after month – your patronage of the show means a lot to me! We chat about some Perendale that a community member spun which sends us down a huge woollen, long draw, rolag discussion. Next, I share my sock spin progress with some spins I’ve been working on. Lastly, I share my Sparkle Cardigan progress with you from the modified button band to the finished body.
Thank you for joining me this week! We are officially on summer break here and the kids have started their summer vacation with a bang! We headed off camping for the weekend and thought I’d record while we were away. Thank you to new and returning viewers – I appreciate your time with me. Thank you to patrons of the show for keeping the lights on here week after week. I wanted to figure out a way to organise my swatches from the How I Spin content and I think I figured it out! This week, I share three finished spins that I’m very happy with and can’t wait to work with – now to figure out what I’m going to do with the carded yarn. We also chat about a yarn Rebecca (rebbiejaye) shared in the Spinning Growth thread in Ravelry. Lastly, I shared a quick snippet of my Sparkle Cardigan that I finished the body on while we were away. More on that soon. I hope you enjoy the show!
Thank you to new and returning viewers of the show – I appreciate your presence. To those who support the show through Patreon, thank you for continuing to do so! This episode is a mini-show to talk about a new segment that we will be introducing from now on in the show. It will be called “Spinning Growth” and I hope you will engage with me on this journey to reflect, learn and grow from our previous projects that maybe weren’t as awesome as we’d planned. Let’s face it, we all have projects like this! I’ve given an example in this episode of how these discussions will go, although we are missing the very informative and helpful discussions from the Live Chat. We will have to wait for their input next episode!
Thank you for joining me this week! Welcome to new and returning viewers of the show – I appreciate spending some time with you all. Thank you especially to those who are patrons of the show. You are the ones who keep me creating more content, releasing shows and making behind the scenes so that I can share it with you! This week, we answer an Ask Anything question from the Ravelry group about firestar and angelina. I chat about the first spin from the Breed & Colour Studies this round. Last, I chat about my progress (which is surprisingly ticking along quickly) on my Sparkle Cardigan. I hope you enjoy the show and thank you for watching!
Thank you for tuning in this week – I have been knitting and knitting and knitting! I have no idea where this mojo for knitting has come from but I’m just going to embrace it and enjoy it. Welcome to new and returning viewers. Thank you especially to those who support the show through Patreon – you keep the lights on here at WnS week in and out. I appreciate your support! This month’s giveaway is for everyone and can be entered for in the Ravelry group here.

Thank you for tuning in this week! Welcome to new & returning viewers. Thank you to those who support the show – you keep the lights on here at Wool n’ Spinning each week. This week, I have a giveaway to announce for the month that’s twice a normal giveaway because we missed April’s! To enter, head to the Ravelry group here. I share some swatching that I’ve been working on – they are washed and blocked. I’d love to hear your thoughts about the swatches! Next, I discuss the Escarpment Cowl project we were working on in the Slack channel. Several community members made cowls and I’m thinking really seriously about casting on another one from some yarn left in my stash from another project. I hope you enjoy the show!
Thank you for joining us this week – I really appreciate your presence. Thank you to those who support the show – your patronage of the show keeps us going! Welcome to new and returning viewers. I hope you enjoy the show. This week, we chat about washed yarn and the differences between freshly plied compared to washed yarn. I share some handspun knitting that I’ll share in more detail next show. As well, I chat about a finished knit in commercial yarn before I rip back and make a couple of changes. Lastly, we spend the majority of the show talking about my finished POP! blanket by tincanknits. Thank you for tuning in! Happy Spinning!
Thank you for joining me this week. Thank you to those who support the Patreon campaign and keep the lights on here each month! I truly appreciate your support. On this week’s show, I chat about the recent festival, Fibres West, and some new stash enhancement that’s very exciting (and that I get to share with you in upcoming shows!). I also chat about a knit in progress that I started along with some of our community members – check out their finished objects in the show notes to come later this week. Thank you for tuning in and for your understanding in the show being cut short.
Thank you so much for tuning in this week! This past week, it was brought to my attention that Episode 70 and 90 weren’t available and sure enough! They were still ‘locked’ so if you watched them through iTunes or Patreon, they were there but on YouTube directly, they were still unavailable. They are there now and I hope you enjoy 3 (!!) episodes this week if you missed those other two. Thank you to everyone who continues to support the show – I appreciate your patronage and enthusiasm of everything spinning related! We have been delving into plant-based fibres this past month and will continue to do so until we start our next Breed & Colour Study later in the Spring. This week, I share two finished objects – a shawl that I started back in the Fall and a skein of massive quantity. I hope you enjoy this week’s ramblings. The next live stream for Patrons will April 3rd at our regular time! Mark your calendars!
Thank you for joining me today – thank you to those who took time out of their schedules to join us this afternoon. I really appreciate the time that each of you takes to watch the show live and of course, it’s lovely to see you all in the live chat! We had a great conversation today about ramie and dove down a bit of a rabbit hole. It was an enjoyable conversation and we talked about many different aspects of spinning ramie. Next, I shared a spin in progress than I was really hoping would be finished today but hopefully next time! Lastly, I share my knitting and am excited to be on the home stretch.
Thank you for joining me this week! We will have a shorter than usual show since I am still fighting off this Laryngitis and my voice won’t last through an hour long show. We cover a little (tiny) bit of housekeeping that includes reminding you about a giveaway. Head to the Ravelry group to enter. Then we chat about plying and finishing a massive spin I’ve been working on since October 2017. It feels really good to be finished! Thank you for allowing me to share!
Thank you for joining me this week! Thank to you those who joined us in the Live Stream and took some time out of your day to spend it with me – I really appreciate it! Remember to participate in our book club discussion – and don’t forget to write your own stash essay that might be featured on the blog. I have some patterns to giveaway from Kelly G. Knits. Thank you to Kelly for the giveaway. I announce another giveaway for everyone to participate in as well. Just tell us who your favourite people are to spin with in the Ravelry thread! We get quite side-tracked and talk about finishing our yarns for quite a while, then we talk about all things cotton and some project planning for that spin, and lastly, I share a new spinning wheel that I ordered about month ago. I hope you enjoy the show!
Thank you for tuning in today! We have a lot to chat about from Ask Anything to Finished Yarns. I hope you enjoy the show! I have finished all of my Breed & Colour Studies yarns! I share them with you today and compare a little bit between the combo drafted and combo plied yarns. I have finally finished my SweetGeorgia Yarns’ BFL+Silk in Pacific Spirit.
Thank you for joining me this week! It feels like a long time since I podcasted but I hope you had a good rest and a lovely holiday season. Welcome to new viewers and Patrons of the show. I have quite a few giveaways to do – both announce and gift today! Congrats to the winners! I announce our very first book club book – I hope you’re as excited about it as I am. Mostly, I’ve been working on my breed and colour studies yarns. I share some initial thoughts about the fibre and spinning techniques. My Into the Whirled socks are finished!
