Handspinning for sock yarn, skirting a Shetland fleece and a new knitting cast on

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.Link to this Episode on YouTubehttps://youtu.be/qXyGGcS19BAJoin Ewethful’s Patreon Communityhttps://www.patreon.com/EwethfulFiberMillFor details and to purchase the online course to learn to handspin on wheelhttps://www.ewethfulfiberfarm.com/pages/lets-make-yarn-landing-pageShop for Ewethful handspinning fibershttps://www.ewethfulfiberfarm.com/collectionsFree hand spinning resourceshttps://www.ewethfulfiberfarm.com/pages/wool-educationTo shop specific items mentioned in this episodePrineville Border Leicester wool/mohair rovinghttps://www.ewethfulfiberfarm.com/collections/fibers/products/prineville-base-roving-border-leicester-mohair-blend-4-ozEwetopia Mohair/silk blend yarnhttps://www.ewethfulfiberfarm.com/collections/other-u-s-milled-yarns/products/mohair-silk-lace-weight-ewetopia-yarnRecent sock cast onPattern: Contrast Blast Socks https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/contrast-blast-socksDesigner: Stephen WestYarn: CandyskeinPattern I mentioned to knit with handspun chain plied yarnPattern: The Traveller Cowl https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/the-traveler-cowlDesigner: Andrea MowryMission at Ewethful: My mission at Ewethful Fiber Mill is to fill making hands with small batch American grown yarns and fibers.
