Dear Spinning Circle,Today. On Wool n' Spinning Radio. Debbie Held is a freelance journalist that I had the immense pleasure meeting in person in 2022, after following each other online for many years. Debbie's love of blending boards started in 2015 when she began playing with this humble fibre preparation tool and began pushing it to its limit. While our conversation covered many topics about how Debbie began her spinning journey with a spindle from a friend in a time of need, to writing her book, The Spinner's Blending Board Bible, to reflecting on what might be next, we really had a discussion about life. What will each of us do when the going gets tough? Truly, Debbie's answer is that the tough get going. Her work is incredible and hope you have a look at her Instagram account, @doodler01.***If you would like to be a guest on Wool n' Spinning Radio, please reach out to Rachel [at] welfordpurls [dot] com.Until next month, keep wool close and your spindles closer!Warmly,Rachel

Dear Spinning Circle,Today. On Wool n' Spinning Radio. Rebecca and I were so pleased to be able to record this episode with Lisa Schweitzer, a pillar and leader in our community. For those who haven't met Lisa yet, she is a weaver, handspinner, knitter and maker, long-time member of the Wool n' Spinning community and lives in a remote area of Iowa, USA. Lisa is an eloquant speaker and I hope you enjoy our conversation about making in remote locations. Both Rebecca and Lisa live in remote areas, without many urban amenities, guilds and makers within their immediate neighbourhoods.We started our conversation today with sharing what we are working on and then moved into a discussion about making in isolation. Lisa touches on why she makes and continues to share her makes. Because we recognize that many in our community make in many different types of isolation - whether physical, due to disability, remote locations, and many more factors, we wanted to discuss what this means when much of our interactions occur online versus in real life. Does this affect our making and how so?If you have questions about what we discussed in today's episode, please post them in the community, either as part of the Slack channel (available through Patreon) or on the Ravelry group, Wool n' Spinning.Patreon Post hereOf course, we would love to welcome you to our community.

Dear Spinning Circle,Today. Rebecca and Rachel sat down to have a fun chat about those imaginary yarns and garments we would love to spend time making but just don't get a chance to do it. It's not that they're yarns we're particularly motivated to actually make, it's more that they are yarns we dream about. Think frivolity and fun. Just messing around with possibilities – what would happen if I did this to create that?

Dear Spinning Circle,Today. On Wool n' Spinning Radio. Rebecca and Rachel sat down to chat about a mammoth in the room, which is fibre preparation. It has become such a major focus of what we talk about in this community and other handspinning communities, that we wanted to talk about it. While fibre preparation is a huge source of excitement and motivation to pull things out and prepare fibres, including those amazing fleeces many of us have in our stashes, it is also a time consuming and often expensive endeavor, particularly when looking at the possibility that tools need to be purchased.Over the past month or so, Rebecca and I have been working on a flowchart (see attached) associated with this episode of WnS Radio. You can download it and explore the PDF while you are listening to this episode or save it for later if you follow the links in the show notes wherever you are listening to this. This flowchart is a Beta version of our ideas and we are going to be working in this throughout the remainder of the winter and into the Spring. There will be more pages added to it – we just haven't quite gotten there yet! Any thoughts you have that would be helpful, please place them in the comments of the Patreon post – we would love to hear them.What have been your road blocks with fibre preparation? If you live with mobility or accessibly issues, we would love to hear how that affects your fibre preparation.Where would you categorise yourself on the scale from fibre preparation artist to hand spinner?Direct Patreon Link here (for graphics)If you have questions about what we discussed in today's episode, please post them in the community, either as part of the Slack channel (available through Patreon) or on the Ravelry group, Wool n' Spinning. Of course, we would love to welcome you to our community. Membership in the community provides you access to an amazing archive of teaching vlogs & posts that will help you on your handspinning journey. I am also here as a resource to help you! The Join button is on the landing page on Patreon for those wishing to learn more.If you are enjoying the audio podcast, please take a moment to subscribe and leave a rating or review to help other handspinners find it. Thank you so much!I hope you enjoy our conversation. Until next time, Happy Spinning!Rachel & Rebecca

Dear Spinning Circle,Welcome back to another Radio episode! This month, Rebecca sat Rachel down to quiz her about working through longer projects. It came from a discussion back in August at Knit City Calgary 2024. For context, let's set the table: Back in 2019, you were struggling with the idea of how to justify the time and effort to put into a really big spinning project to weave an heirloom piece. Do you remember that feeling? What is the Biggest Project you've ever completed? How long did it take? How did you feel about it at the end vs. the beginning? How did it change things for you?Gentle Morning by Trin-Annelie hereCheviot 3-ply handspun for Gentle Mornning here (1000 yards / 355 grams)Rideau-Arcott/Charollais 4-ply handspun here (1600 yards / 550 grams)What kind of big project dreams do you have right now? What, for you, is the motivation behind them? Aside from the obvious limitations of hours in the day (which is huge and should be acknowledged), do you feel like anything else is holding you back from trying one? How do we give ourselves permission to pursue projects like this?Compare big projects - like spinning to weave for a coat, etc. -  a sampling-heavy or    learning-heavy big project, like Year of Yarn, Year of Colour (available for purchase), or a Certificate program. How is the process different? How are they easier or harder to justify? How does each one change you as a maker?A can-of-worms question: do you think of these pieces as “art”? Would doing so change their perceived value?How do you manage longer spins, especially those that are colour monotonous? How do you plan for these larger projects? Please share below!Please take a moment to like & share the podcast, leave a review & share with others! For more, head to Patreon here.Thank you for tuning in!Rachel & Rebecca

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 hereI 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

Dear Spinning Circle,This episode of Wool n' Spinning Radio has been a long time coming - Melissa and I have been trying to connect for a while, seeing each other at our local Knots & Hops each month, bumping into each other at Knit City and Fibres West throughout the years and so much more. It was a pleasure to sit down with her and chat about her business and love of wool - her enthusiasm is unbelievably infectious. You can't help but feel sucked in by her love of the process from her favourite part of the process, washing, to picking and carding.Melissa's video on Picking Wool hereThank you to Melissa for sharing her journey to date and I look forward to chatting with her again this summer to record a Part II. After we stopped the recording, she came up with topics for Part III, as well, so stay tuned!Find Melissa:Instagram @mellyknits hereWebsite hereRavelry @smellyknits hereIf you would like to be featured on Wool n' Spinning Radio, have a story to tell or want to discuss your making, please reach out to Rachel. You can leave a comment below or message her privately!Until next time,Happy Processing!Rachel

Dear Spinning Circle,This month, Rebecca and I sat down to discuss a slightly different topic that we don't often explore, which is about our journey to intentional spinning. Rebecca asked some incredibly thoughtful questions to ground our discussion and I would love to hear some of your thoughts - please leave your comments here!Link to Patreon post hereThe Journey of Intentional Spinning:1. Can you describe your journey toward becoming an intentional spinner? What was your spinning like when you started? What drove you to become more intentional? Who were your teachers/resources? What practices helped you the most? Do you remember a breakthrough yarn or project?2. ⁠Now that you've been an intentional spinner for a long time, what has changed? What is easier or harder now? How is your perspective different than you thought it would be? What practices have you held onto or let go of?3. ⁠As a podcaster and spinning teacher, how does that impact your intentionality? How do you spin differently when you are teaching or producing “content” vs not?4. What are some areas you'd like to continue to grow as an intentional spinner? Have you ever plateaued in your spinning - are there more advanced skills you'd still like to work on?A few of the resources that Rachel discussed throughout the conversation:Yarn-i-tec-ture: A Knitter's Guide to Spinning by Jillian Moreno hereThe Essentials of Handspinning by Mabel Ross hereIf you would like to be a guest on Wool n' Spinning Radio and share your story, please get in touch, either on Patreon through direct message or email (rachel (@) welfordpurls (dot) com).Do you have any practices in your spinning that revolutionized your yarns? We'd love to hear about it - please share in the comments here. Be sure to share this podcast episode with friends and family, like and subscribe, and leave a review if you are able - it helps to increase the podcast's visibility when searching for new things to listen to!Until next time,Happy Spinning!Warmly,Rachel & Rebecca

Dear Spinning Circle,Today. On Wool n' Spinning Radio. Rebecca and I sat down to reflect on the year, 2023. We started with a reflection on the highlights and standouts from the year. We talk about unexpected challenges, namely for Rachel throughout the year. Next, we talk about the community. There were some memorable interactions that really resonated with us as we interacted with you guys throughout the year.Patreon hereRebecca asked about some behind-the-scenes insights about how Rachel manages the Live Stream and some lessons they've learned throughout the year. We talk about how we've grown during the year and how we've changed our views and perspectives on certain things.Looking forward, we talk about some of our goals and aspirations for the coming year, as well as talk about some of the things we have coming. More on that coming soon!I hope you enjoy our conversation. Have a wonderful month!Warmly,Rachel & Rebecca

Dear Spinning Circle,Welcome to another episode of Wool n' Spinning Radio - I am so pleased to be able to produce these episodes with Rebecca (@rebbiejaye). Rebecca took the lead on this month's episode, which was really fun for me as I was able to sit back and participate in a different way than I normally do - what a pleasure!To learn more, please head to the original Patreon post hereTo help ground the conversation, here are some of the 'primer' questions that Rebecca asked us to think about to prepare for recording. If it speaks to you, particularly if you are a journaller yourself, I would encourage you to write these down or use them as prompts to help you in your journey:1. Some background: can you talk about how you feel generally about the October/November season? How has this year in particular been affecting your energy levels?2. This year I think what's different for me is that I'm really expecting the change. Not dreading it, just trying to be really aware. How has this year met/not met your expectations? Surprised you?3. Sometimes our hobbies help us, and sometimes they get the better of us! Have you experienced crafting overwhelm this fall? Or have you been able to lay it aside when you need to?4. How does your making change when you get tired or sick? Are there things that happen differently? Does being tired or sick feed your creativity in any way?These questions really helped to guide our conversation around fatigue, making and energy. We also talk about Polyvagal Theory, which is the concept that the vagus nerve has a role to play in regulating our emotions, social connection and fear responses. There is much research still to be done on the subject and much has not been substantiated by neuroscience. The basic tenent is the following:Parasympathetic/Ventral-Vagal State/Vibe n' Tribe/Social Connection - our 'true' self, authentic, creativity occurs hereSympathetic State/Fight or Flight/Stress - feeling threatened, stress, perception of danger, 'doing' state, seeking safety, go-go-goDoral Ventral State/Freeze/Paralysis - numbing out, immobilization, lack of copingI hope this is helpful to ground the conversation when Rebecca asks me to elaborate on Polyvagal Theory; and remember that it is a theory, something to think about, and there is much to learn/read about if you are curious to do so!You can access the back-catalogue of Radio episodes here, if you would like to listen to more episodes like this one. As well, taking a moment to like, subscribe & rate/review the Radio show helps get it out there to other potential listeners!Share your thoughts below, especially if you'd like to share some of your own journal responses, or in #podcastchat on Slack for community members.If you would like to be a guest on Wool n' Spinning Radio, you can reach out to Rachel {at} welfordpurls {dot} com.Until next month, I hope you are able to carve out some self-love.
