I’m glad to report that this is the case with Megan LaCore from theartofmegan.com, YouTube channel of the same name. She focuses on creating yarn with a drop spindle, but many of the concepts are handy to know even if you’re just a knitter.

Here’s one of her most recent videos, where she teaches us how to create center-pull yarn balls with only our hands:

And here are some of her other videos which I’ve found very helpful in my yarn adventures:

• Spinning Yarn on A Drop Spindle
• Finishing your Yarn (tying & wrapping)
• Plying on a drop spindle using only one ball of yarn

Thanks, Megan, for sharing such great content with the world!

wolfcrik, a Youtube user, has a variety of videos uploaded regarding life on a farm. Some of the more valuable ones include one about tail docking and ear tagging sheep and a narrated video of a normal lamb delivery.

She also has videos about how to do canning, as well as much other self reliance tips on her blog. Sadly it seems she has chosen to stop blogging but hopefully she will continue to post videos on Youtube.
