Oh you go girl!! When I first learned to spin I belonged to a guild and thus did lots of demos. I much preferred those that were not requiring some type of period cloths. Yes I love the history, but I want people to realize there are those of us who still spin our own yarn and weave cloth.
OOO! I
I was taught to always spin from the cut end of the lock and I still do when I want a worsted spin.
There is NOTHING wrong with the traditional ways. They are just not taught as much now.
Hi Trish, I don't usually comment but loved it when you kindly, but directly addressed the Wool 'n' Folk question. I'm not in the US but I got so tired of the relentless gossip about this less than satisfactory event. I understood people's disappointment and concerns, but the volume on this was ridiculous. I liked your sensible stand. Oh, and my spinning and appreciation of fibre has developed so much over the past few years thanks to you. All the best. Kris
Thank you so much. It was not attractive to see so many people who weren't even there jumping on the situation like hungry wolves and all just to make some money or chase some clout. I don't think I could look myself in the mirror exploiting things like that, but I'm from a generation before social media I guess 🤷🏼♀️
Thanks for the bright spot in my day! My husband likes to listen to the lives on Sunday; he says you have a soothing voice 🙂 Happy knitting!
You know I love a long video. ❤ I hope you don’t mind a long comment! 😂
I see fauxlags for sale at fiber fests and on Etsy. I used to sell those before I had a drum carder, but found that batts travel better, so I stick with those.
I know what you’re saying about that drive to create. I feel like all my ideas are a bursting river backed up behind the dam of Not-Enough-Time!
Don’t feel bad about the screws in the base of the EEW…I did the exact same thing. 😂
About supporting makers, financially… For me, this is a no-brainer. Just because the product isn’t necessarily something tangible, it’s still your time it’s still your knowledge, and I am still benefiting from it. Plus, I love supporting artists, so that there’s not just more art in the world, but that I continue my belief that maybe one day I can be among them.
I love the way you put it that it's not a waste to use good quality supplies if you're learning. I use that same argument to buy good quality art supplies for my son but I've never applied it to my spinning. Thanks for connecting those two points!
Thanks for all your hard work keeping us informed and amused!
Thank you so much for sharing your vast fiber knowledge! I'm amazed with how well versed you are about all things fiber.
I think that's why I don't worry about my small batch spins...I know they will get used in "something". I've found that advent, hat and sock patterns are perfect for these. I think the longer fibers come off more cleanly...and making sure you have a good long fiber layer on as a base before you add anything short helps. I just like a diz for pulling fiber off my combs. I thought it looked familiar lol, it was fun getting and using that starter bundle. I still have some left cuz I saved it to blend with other things because I liked the colors too. I've still only used RIT on fabrics.
I always love watching your videos. I wake up, have my tea and start my day catching up on fibery greatness. It’s always such a happy moment seeing there’s a video from you in my feed! ❤️🥰
Thanks Trish! See you soon!
Thanks for all the info😊. I always learn so much from you.

Thank you for taking the time to answer the various questions.
Yes put the Kofi on every video. No question. 😊. Often I’m just watching someone and go for the Kofi as a quick expression of appreciation. It feels good to me to have that option. 🎉🎉
thank you for all of your information on the fiber related things today
I soooo love when you do Q&As! I am so grateful for all you do, answering our questions, showing us how things work and all the different ways to do things. I don't know if I would have stuck with learning to spin and weave if it wasn't for you encouraging me through videos and comments that I could do it. I owe you so much😘😘
This q&a is so full of amazing information!!
I learned a couple of things here today that have been perplexing me, as a newish spinner. So helpful!! I really appreciate you and all you share with us. ❤
Such a wealth of knowledge! Thanks for sharing it with all of us. Be blessed.
Great video! Ty! Definitely add your Kofi or Buy me a Coffee or whathaveyou in each video description! As a consumer it does not phase me at all because everyone have one listed and it makes it easier for people who want to support you!
The breed stuffy is worth watching. I learned a lot.
A significant number of You-Tubers are asking every video and having member only content, which I get how time has great value. Being on fixed income, I just can't. I will visit your store. Loet also can raise/lower flyer. Love your reference to the chef of The Muppets.
Every time you watch a video all the way through, hit the like button or share a video, you are helping me, so thank you!
Oh thanks I'll have to check out that sweater pattern I also loved that colorwork yolk sweater those colors are so good!
Thanks for this Trish. I always learn from you! Thank you 😊🙏
Love these Q&As, so much information. Loved your sweaters.
Looking forward to your review of the Sparrow. I have the Starling V2 and love it - especially being able to switch it form Scotch to Irish tension. And Daedalus customer support has been top notch for me.
So many things and events just not available here in the Canaries. one of the downsides of living here. But I appreciate the knowledge you give. It's made a tremendous difference in my abilities as a spinner. Thank you for all your videos.
My daughter has bought me spinning kits from napa valley recently. My husband has started making spinner baits and has been using the neon colors I would ever use and the Angelina idk what to do with😆. Who would have thought I'd be sharing my fiber😁
Love that colour on you.
I learn soo much from you. This Q and A is great! Thank you💜
Thanks, Trish, great answers❤️
Thank you, Trish. Lots of useful info.
Thank you for a great q&a. So informative!
Once again so many great nuggets of knowledge!!!!
Trish OMG! Your cardigan looks AMAZING!!!! Love a me made cardi cameo in this video ❤❤❤
Love your videos. I learn so much from you.
I really enjoyed the questions and the answers thank you
This is wild. Everyone and their neighbours are knitting this sweater 😁
Thank you for the advice.
I've got my tea and a sock I'm knitting! Let's go! ❤ The breed study was awesome. I've watched them several times. Wow that went by to fast! Gotta say that I totally agree with those who say you're a joy to watch!
And I am currently working from home in Accounting watching you video😅
RE the flyer drop, all I have to say is WUTTTT?? I need to see this! Thanks for the giggle on the Michigan comment! lol
Many questions answered!
Your sweater looks great!
Answered so many questions!
Love your video!
I always learn so much from these! How about turkey sausage as the new name for a fauxlag? lol
Turkey hand….turkey sausage….I sense a theme! 😂
@@carrietreder8474 🦃🦃🤣🤣
omg, the Swedish Chef, too funny!
Daedalus has great customer service!
thanks trish! i'll look for your past video. also. sorry for the typos-i'm famous for them. nice interpretation:)
I think I got everything I mentioned linked in the description box. I am also famous for typos, so I'm good at reading them 🤣
@@FiberLoveDiary my friend will often text back to me "are you having a stroke?"😆
Thanks so much for answering my question Trish. Seeing what you were able to make using carder was so inspiring, I’m desperate to start. 😊
Ok I boggered up my question to you about spinning. I really love you channel and have learned so much from you. Thank you for you patience. I asked about how I leave the bulky flyer on my Lafybug because to change it is such a big irritating deal. Does this mess up the final yarn? ( like I’d notice)
Love Elvis’ sweet face!
Hi Trish, what is the pattern of the colorwork sweaters you made for you and John? They are beautiful! Also, link to your classic carder from Etsy? Thank you for your videos! I'm new to spinning within the last month or so and your videos have helped me so much. 💜
Elvis is so stinking cute!
Oh no! I’m at work!
I was told adding a comment helps the algorithm send more traffic your way. I hope that’s true. I comment to support you, not to give my opinion.
❤❤❤love
🙂
I am going to contradict Trish on Rit dye. Before I do , Trish's experience with Rit dye is the normal thing. For whatever reason , maybe they changed formulas, but I have always exhausted the dye when I dye wool. I haven't had run off when I wash the yarn after using Rit. I haven't had fading or run off even when I didn't heat set the yarn. I have done this with more than one color so I don't understand what I do to cause this experience. So you mileage may vary but it is worth a try with Rit dye. Oh and their black dye will never give you black. It gives a funky green that is pleasant but not black.
I don't think this is contradicting. It's giving more informed opinion!
a real job really IS a sap on your fun time though.
Love your video!
