Handspinning for sock yarn, skirting a Shetland fleece and a new knitting cast on
Listen now
Description
All about hand spinning yarn, knitting, owning a wool mill, farm life and everything in between.  This episode has loads of handspinning tips as I work on two different spinning projects and explain my thought process behind making my spinning wheel adjustments and playing with yarn color samples. I also talk a bit about handspinning sock yarn and show the making of this roving on from inside the wooI mill. And of course there is knitting talk as I make progress on my Calliope sweater and cast on for a pair of socks. Special bonus, a video as I talk through skirting a Shetland fleece.
