    Ok thank you was just wondering. By giving them a water bath do you think that would hurt the paste?. Might have asked you that already, but can’t remember. Anyways I water bath 4 jars and lift the other 4 alone. So I will check them in about weeks and see??. I wish I had ran across you before buying and wasting all that money on Amazon. Again Thank you so much for sharing. Those beans were Awesome 😮 How long should those beans keep being vacuum sealed?. Just curious.

    • @Rebecca.Robbins
      @Rebecca.Robbins Před 2 dny

      I’m sure no harm was done by canning your paste! About your vacuum sealed beans though…they will mold, at the very least store them in a little alcohol. You want the beans to be covered. Indri wipes down every bean with a little alcohol, but that will only protest them for a short while. I have a mother jar, so if I’m not prepared to start a new batch of vanilla or make paste, I toss my “extra” beans in there.

    • @patriciaboling8953
      @patriciaboling8953 Před 2 dny

      Yes I have a mother jar I started. I tried the 3 ingredient recipe. I found another recipe that called for sugar, corn syrup, water, 2 ounces vanilla beans and 2/3 alcohol. I found a vanilla vodka that I used in it. I was reading somewhere after the fact that a water bath may of evaporate the alcohol?. Thank you for replying back to me. I’m all new to this vanilla thing. I got scared maybe, I ruined it after spending all that money on finally getting some good beans. But I guess time will tell?. Said to let it set 8 weeks or more. So you think the alcohol was evaporated after a water bath?. Thank you for replying back and I will not keep bothering you. I’m sure you’re busy. But I thank you for your opinion 😊😊😊

    I try the beans you buy from IndriVanilla. They smell like vanilla. I’m not buying vanilla beans from Amazon ever again. I bought several different ones trying to fine good ones. Didn’t have any luck through Amazon. I got my beans from IndriVanilla and made vanilla bean paste. I did a few jars in a water bath to sealed them. Is that good or bad?. Thank you those were the best beans I have ever gotten from all the beans I bought from Amazon and one other place I tried. Going to order some more soon😀😀

      @Rebecca.Robbins Před 3 dny

      I’m glad you liked the beans! People often wonder which ones are the best and I say, if you order from Indri, you can’t go wrong. Everything they sell is amazing! As far as canning goes, I can’t speak to that. I have jars of paste, that I didn’t can sitting in my pantry from two years ago that are still good! I may have made more than needed! 🤣

    Sorry to ask a silly question on old video! So you use a Skein winder instead of a warping board or Mill?

    • @Rebecca.Robbins
      @Rebecca.Robbins Před 10 dny

      Yes! I find it so much easier and faster given that I beam sectionally. Plus, as a professional weaver, I buy my yarn in bulk, so having 48-60 or more cones of any given yarn is quite normal for me. I typically buy 100 lbs of each yarn at a time.

  • @lilyfoubisou

    Hi! Quick question on plant fiber dyeing with procion dyes, do you have to let the yarn completely dry after the soda ash bath? i don't have a spinner so trying to figure out that step. with wool, i'm used to dyeing it when it's still completely wet so dyeing a dry skein seems strange to me! Thank you so much for this video!!!

    • @Rebecca.Robbins

      Put as much tension as you can on your tension box, then spin your beam as consistently as possible. I typically don’t give it a lot of thought. Sometimes I think the more you overthink things the less consistent the results are.

    Every project I have done is made with the recipient in mind. I only have one, my first completed lap blanket, but every other project was woven with love and with a specific person in mind. Every rug I've made, every tea towel, every tapestry, every tablecloth...handwoven, customized and given with love and appreciation. And weaving, leading to sewing, leading to quilts, leading who knows where next...but weaving has opened my world to the possibilities of...EVERYTHING! Live with Joy and you will never have a bad day :)

    I appreciate your honesty here. I have been weaving for about 6 years, I have never repeated a project. Every project is planned in my head, colors, patterns but yeah, when I get to the loom, there are always kinks to get out. Usually it is my overconfidence that everything went so well! LOL Is anything perfect? Nope, but I kinda like it that way. If I wanted 'perfect', I would simply buy it!

      Wool shouldn’t smell, but the yuk coming out of a diaper cover certainly can smell! You can use hot water, but be SUPER GENTLE with the fabric when it’s hot and wet. There are different kinds of wool too, some will react differently.

    Hello Rebecca, I have been a weaver for only 5 years, I will be 73 years old in August, and I have 4 looms..1 of 60 inches with 4 frames, 1 of 28 inches with 4 frames, 1 small 15 inch with 4 frames too, and a small 24 in but with 6 frames. With the bigger one I also have a flying shuttle, but really not like yours... I love yours. Lucky! Is this made especially for you? Or is it marketed and people can buy it? If yes, where please? This seems so much easier than pulling the rope from right to left and left to right. Congratulations on your creations for young mothers, So many beautiful colors, wow with nature...and made by you. Fantastic a true artist in every way. I wish I was still young to wear one with a baby. But could I wear this as a shawl? Or it's too long I think.

    • @Rebecca.Robbins
      @Rebecca.Robbins Před 27 dny

      First of all, congratulations on picking up weaving!!! You definitely CAN wear my weaving as a shawl! I get orders for shawls all of the time! About the fly shuttle, it is available for purchase, but you do have to have an AVL loom. AVL sells this feature as “Shuttle assist”. I actually have a friend in the US who is currently selling her loom which happens to be set up pretty much EXACTLY like mine. Shoot me an email (in the description of most of my long form videos) if you would like her contact info!

Edited to add this is kind of breaking my heart to think about the quality of life our parents had (my parents are Gladys' age and a lot like her)... working a normal job like nursing meant resources to raise a family, along with a beautiful home with tons of time and room for your hobbies, and then a comfortable retirement to fully enjoy your hobbies. Wow. The dream.
