  • Spinning Certificates with Rebecka Roy
    2024/11/01

    Dear Spinning Circle,

    Rebecca sat down with long-time active community member, Rebecka Roy, known as Becca and @bethy40 on Slack. Becca has been working on her Spinning Certificate of Achievement, from the Association of Spinners, Weavers and Dyers, throughout the past four years. With the recent discussions within the Wool n’ Spinning community about Spinning Certification programs, we thought it would a great opportunity to sit down and hear about Becca’s experience.

    I hope you enjoy our conversation. Links to the website, Instagram and more are available in the show notes and at Patreon.com/woolnspinning.

    Happy Spinning!

  • Origins, Spindle Spinning & More with Maxwell Stein
    2024/10/01

    Dear Spinning Circle,

    Rebecca and I had the pleasure of sitting down with Maxwell Stein of @maxwillspin (IG) over the past month. We chatted about his origin story, spindle spinning and teaching, as well as how his music influences his making. I hope you enjoy our conversation - I would love to have Max back on the show. If you have any questions you'd like to ask him, please post them below so that I can address them next time he appears!

    Until next time,

    Happy Spinning!

  • Festival Prep, Carding & Wool with MellyKnits (Part II)
    2024/08/01

    Dear Spinning Circle,

    This month is the follow-up to last month's episode with Melissa Goulet of MellyKnits. We refer back to that episode a few times so be sure to follow the links below to listen to that episode as well.

    Episode 107 | Putting Wool back in the Limelight with MellyKnits here

    I hope you enjoy our dive into wool, getting started with first-time drum carding and beginning to delve into sheep breeds. For those new to spinning wool, remember that there are roughly four classifications of sheep breeds, including the fine wools, medium wools, longwools, downs and down-like breeds, and primitives. Fine to medium wools are often classed together, rather than separately. Think of them as being on a continuum from one another. We use the term ‘micron count’ several times throughout our conversation but never define the term for those who haven’t heard it previously.

    Think of how wool is classified as being on a continuum. At one end, we have the Fine Wools with much crimp and bounce. At the other end, we have the long, lustrous curling crimp structure of the Long Wools. In between are the Medium Wools who, depending on their micron count, fit closer to the Fine Wool versus Long Wool end. Micron count uses computer imaging to assess the diameter of a fibre. The lower the number, the finer the fibre and conversely, the higher the number, the coarser the fibre. Within one fleece, micron count might vary significantly and as hand spinners, we use the averages to help us communicate with one another roughly how fine or coarse a fibre is.

    If you have questions about what we discussed in today’s episode, please post them below. Of course, we would love to welcome you to our community. The Join button is also on the landing page here on Patreon for those wishing to learn more.

    I hope you enjoy our conversation.

    Warmly,

    Rachel & Rebecca
