About this class

This is a step by step tutorial on how to spin my Jumbo boucle art yarn. The tutorial is divided into 12 videos between 1 min to 15 min each. It included dyeing.


 

Bilingual class EN FR. This is my current method for spinning my `jumbo boucle`yarn. This is a simple class straight to the point no frills. This is the current way I am spinning it, there is so many ways to spin it. This includes videos of the dyeing but this is not a tutorial for dyeing a specific colorway neither a dyeing class. Just the basics.

FOR AVANCED SPINNERS

You need to have a base in core spinning to achieve this.

Also, please note that I can add extra videos to this class so if you need further explanations, on technical issues with a wheel for example, please ask I will be happy to help and share my experience with you.

Tutoriel bilingue EN FR. Ceci est ma facon actuelle de filer mon jumbo boucle. Je montre les étapes de creation de ce fil tel que sur les photos sans flafla. Il y a plusieurs facons de filer ce type de fil. Ce tutoriel inclus les videos de teintures, mais ne montre pas un de mes coloris specifiques, ce n'est pas un tutoriel de teinture car ce serait beaucoup trop long. Je montre les bases.

CLASSE POUR FILEURS(ses) AVANCÉS (ÉES)

Aussi sachez que je peux ajouter des vidéos supplémentaires a ce cours, ne vous genez donc pas pour demander des explications additionnelles. Je sais que ce fil demande beaucoup d'ajustement techniques sur votre rouet

Fibre Artist

I’m a 46 years old Canadian textile artist living in Quebec province. Of course I have always been a heavy crafter since my childhood. My maternal grand mother was doing all kind of needle work and she was a skilled seamstress with unlimited patience, and endless determination to run large projects. My paternal grand mother owned a sewing business for I few years when I was a child. I think my love for the yarns and textiles starts from there. Babysitters could easily forget I was there if I had a needle and some thread... When I went to the fashion school, we made a trip to a mill where they were making yarns and weaving tweeds. I always had a big love for wool, and heavy fabrics with texture. I became addicted to jackets and coats making, but hunting the perfect fabric was long and disappointing. I started to add yarns, fringes, and embroidery to my sewing projects. But I was not fully happy. When we went back to Canada, I started to included sweater pieces, hand knits and crochet to my clothes, mixed with fabrics. But I was still feeling unsatisfied. Finding the perfect yarns, or fabrics was impossible. Since my neighbors have a sheep farm, I had this idea to ask them to take the fleeces and try to make yarn, so I could create exactly what I need. My intention was also to weave my fabrics and try some felt. I had no idea at all in which adventure I was diving in...and no experience in hand spinning, felting or weaving whatsoever. So I saved my money and bought my kiwi wheel with my beloved giant bobbin. Then a carder...a loom, dyes, and you know the suite... After a very successful crowdfunding campaign that allowed me to buy new tools, I started to create content for my patrons on Patreon, by sharing live videos of my daily work, exclusive YouTubes, patterns and tutorials. I’m now very deep down the rabbit hole of fibre arts, and with my new studio now I could play with my sewing machines, the wheels, the loom, the dyes, and I have total control of what I’m creating, and a lot of fun. There is no words to describes the sentiment of satisfaction when you start from dirty smelly fleeces and end up with a colourful wearable piece of clothing. I recently created my stand alone website, www.mynoush.com, where you can find the links to my socials media’s and see my current work. Happy visit! Joyce
