Yarnspinners Tales's Podcast

Two sections of the post for support spindles, a book review and a discussion of my recent experience spinning angora on my three support spindles.

The book Fleegle Spins Supported is available here.

A YouTube video of me spinning cotton on the Royale Hare brass support spindle is found here and the spindle is available to order from her Etsy shop here. I apologize for saying on the podcast that the spindle was not readily available, I did not look up the link until after I did the recording, my bad!

The music in today's podcast is by singer/songwriter Emma Wallace who I found on MusicAlley. The piano piece is called Interlude, and the closing song is Support for my Argument.

My blog with photos can be found here.

Finally the Spinners Journal, a place to record all the processes of any of your spinning projects can be purchased here. Thanks for your support of this podcast by purchasing the journal!

OK so I'm playing on words with today's podcast title. I do two sheep breed reviews, Columbia and Rambouilette. Then I talk about the explosion of spinning information going digital. Hence, digital sheep.

A few links: Closing song is by Triple6RFusioN and is called First Day of Spring. You can find this and other music played on the podcast at Music Alley .

It's actually magic, taking washed but clumped fiber, putting it through the drum carder and getting fluffy batts ready to spin. It's a spinning project I only do now and then, after accumulating those piles of fleeces and other fibers ready to blend. Then I spend several months, in an hour here and there, creating the batts. After that, the fun begins, as I get to spin them and see what those blends will look like in yarn.

In today's podcast, I talk about my recent drumcarding projects, as well as some information for those spinners that may want to buy a carder, or have one that they still haven't worked up the nerve to use.

I will be putting pictures of the fiber, before and after on my blog.

Music in the podcast is from Music Alley and includes Proof of Love by Old Man Luedecke, also February by The Distants.

The Spinners Journal, a book I wrote to help you to document your carding or any spinning project is available to buy at this site.

Janilee and Chris are both post graduate students at the Manchester England college. Both are spinners and weavers, but have two different concepts for their doctorial thesis. I was able to interview each and had a wonderful time talking to them. Listen in, and learn about early weavers and spinners, and the modern day archeological study of them.

Interlude music in today's podcast is from Music Alley and is by the group Celtic Stone. The title is Drowsy Maggie.
