She had decided to listen to her heart and go back to the university for the third time after already having made a big career change once. Someone said to her that it was better to strive inwards than upwards. This sentence stuck to me and it floats around in my heart and reminds me softly every now and then to embrace the superpower of slow.<\/p>\n<p>To get you in the mood for slow I give you a short and sweet video where I show you how I wind a ball of handspun yarn with my thumb.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"525\" height=\"296\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/MpBitoXJwiA?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Share the video and blog post if you like them!<\/p>\n<h1>The power of slow<\/h1>\n<p>Slow is for me a form of connection to the here and now. In society today, speed is power. There is a vast array of information rushing by every second. I need to sort things out in my brain and figure out what is important to me and what is just a waste of my time and energy.<\/p>\n<p>With technological \u00a0speed I can reach more people in a shorter time, which is of course of importance in sharing my online work. I rely on this speed. But when we make shortcuts to cut costs and get more done faster, someone else will have to pay for it with their time, work and health. If I want to buy a sweater, somebody must do the work for me. And the cheaper the sweater, the more this someone has to pay. There is a big difference between price (what I pay for a sweater) and cost (what someone else has to pay for me to get a cheap sweater).<\/p>\n<p>I can make my own sweater. Even if I will let someone else take care of the whole sheep part, I usually do know the sheep owner. Once I get my hands on a fleece, I can do all the steps and end up with a sweater. And the process will definitely be slow. If you are a spinner or any other kind of crafter you know this. I have made two videos with the concept of slow in mind: <a href=\"https:\/\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/slow-fashion-2-from-sheep-to-shawl\/\">Slow fashion \u2013 from sheep to sweater<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/slow-fashion-2-from-sheep-to-shawl\/\">Slow fashion 2 \u2013 from sheep to shawl<\/a>.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1955\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1955\" style=\"width: 1500px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"1955\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/img_4434\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/IMG_4434.jpg?fit=1500%2C2000&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1500,2000\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;Canon EOS 5D Mark II&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1537031011&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;45&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;400&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.0005&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"IMG_4434\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/IMG_4434.jpg?fit=525%2C700&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"wp-image-1955 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/IMG_4434.jpg?resize=525%2C700&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Josefin Waltin spinning on a supporter spindle and wearing a sweater with spinning wheels\" width=\"525\" height=\"700\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/IMG_4434.jpg?w=1500&amp;ssl=1 1500w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/IMG_4434.jpg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/IMG_4434.jpg?resize=768%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/IMG_4434.jpg?w=1050&amp;ssl=1 1050w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1955\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A sweater knitted with my handspun yarn.

Creative making in this sense allows for creative thinking. I can take advantage of this. If I feel a bit dull minded I go to my spinning tool of the day and spin. After a while I enter the crafting bubble. This state of being in the making sends a signal to my synapses to open all the doors to creative thinking. My dull mind becomes sharp and I can solve a problem or give birth to a new baby idea to take care of.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_677\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-677\" style=\"width: 890px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"677\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/new-video-for-the-love-of-spinning\/skarmavbild-2017-12-26-kl-21-22-13\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Sk%C3%A4rmavbild-2017-12-26-kl.-21.22.13.png?fit=890%2C500&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"890,500\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;Josefin Waltin spinning on a supported spindle&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Spinning on a supported spindle is truly meditative&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Sk%C3%A4rmavbild-2017-12-26-kl.-21.22.13.png?fit=525%2C295&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"wp-image-677 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Sk%C3%A4rmavbild-2017-12-26-kl.-21.22.13.png?resize=525%2C295&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Josefin Waltin spelning on a supported spindle\" width=\"525\" height=\"295\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Sk%C3%A4rmavbild-2017-12-26-kl.-21.22.13.png?w=890&amp;ssl=1 890w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Sk%C3%A4rmavbild-2017-12-26-kl.-21.22.13.png?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Sk%C3%A4rmavbild-2017-12-26-kl.-21.22.13.png?resize=768%2C431&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-677\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Creative making and creative thinking<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>It is like being creative takes me to a place where I can find balance between focus on the process and unrestrained thinking \u2013 the crafting flow.

Through all the steps in the process from fleece to garment every single fiber has gone through my hands numerous times. My hands tune in the channel of the superpowers of this particular fleece. They know the staple length, they know how the crimp behaves, how it drafts and how the yarn should feel when it is just right. My hands enter their own crafting bubble and after a while they just know how to prepare the wool to make the finished yarn show off all the superpowers of the fleece.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_183\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-183\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"183\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/wool-journey-2017\/img_8989\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_8989-e1496071556982.jpg?fit=640%2C480&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"640,480\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.2&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;iPhone 6&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1495810778&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;4.15&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;32&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.00035398230088496&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;3&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"IMG_8989\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_8989-e1496071556982.jpg?fit=525%2C394&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"wp-image-183 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_8989-e1496071556982.jpg?resize=525%2C394&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Hands feeling a fleece\" width=\"525\" height=\"394\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_8989-e1496071556982.jpg?w=640&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/IMG_8989-e1496071556982.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 525px) 100vw, 525px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-183\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The power of touch<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>My hands become an extension of my brain \u2013 like antennae \u2013 and allow my mind to read and interpret the material I work with.<\/p>\n<h2>Respect<\/h2>\n<p>Crafting is a sustainable way to use natural materials instead of buying new stuff. You may have heard of the &#8220;3 R&#8217;s&#8221; of waste management \u2013 reduce, reuse and recycle. Crafting is a part of this. You <em>reduce<\/em> the waste by using natural materials, you <em>reuse<\/em> the material instead of throwing away old stuff and buy new and you <em>recycle<\/em> by mending broken things.<\/p>\n<p>I would like to add <em>respect<\/em> to this trio. By getting to know the material I work with I gain a sense of respect for it. I learn about the superpowers of this particular material and what it can give me. In return I handle the material with care and respect and highlight its superpowers in the things I create. You can compare it to gardening. The soil gives nourishment to my crops and I need to give something back to the soil when I harvest to be able to harvest again. By using the natural material to the best of its potential and all that it gives me I respect it.<\/p>\n<p>Recently I have embroidered a lot. There is a slow process for you! But as all crafting it puts me in the crafting bubble and I am in my hands again, happy as a clam. Suddenly I want to save all the abandoned linen floss and embroidery silk in every flea market in all the land and make pretty patterns to save the world.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2380\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2380\" style=\"width: 2775px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"2380\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/slow\/img_6129\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/IMG_6129.jpg?fit=2775%2C2757&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"2775,2757\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;1.8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;iPhone 8&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1546335114&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;3.99&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;40&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.05&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"IMG_6129\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/IMG_6129.jpg?fit=525%2C521&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"wp-image-2380 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/IMG_6129.jpg?resize=525%2C522&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"An embroidery, linen on wool\" width=\"525\" height=\"522\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/IMG_6129.jpg?w=2775&amp;ssl=1 2775w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/IMG_6129.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/IMG_6129.jpg?resize=300%2C298&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/IMG_6129.jpg?resize=768%2C763&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/IMG_6129.jpg?resize=1024%2C1017&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/IMG_6129.jpg?resize=100%2C100&amp;ssl=1 100w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/IMG_6129.jpg?w=1575&amp;ssl=1 1575w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2380\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Slow fireworks embroidered with linen floss found \u2013 and saved \u2013 at a flea market.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h1>Winding a ball of yarn<\/h1>\n<p>The faster things roll in society, the more important slow becomes. By making things slow I make an effort to balancing all the speed around me and hopefully getting some peace of mind in the process. It can be as simple as winding a ball of yarn.<\/p>\n<h2>Thumb nostepinne<\/h2>\n<p>I do own a ball winder and I use it sometimes. But I prefer using my thumb. Recently all my skeins have turned into pretty thumb wound balls of yarn. It gives me even more time to feel the fiber and once again pay tribute to its superpowers and all that it has given me.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" width=\"525\" height=\"296\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/MpBitoXJwiA?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Winding a ball of yarn with your thumb as a nostepinne is slow. Slower than using a nostepinne and definitely slower than a ball winder. But it gives me more time to hang out with the yarn that I have put so much skill, love and care into. I get time to watch the yarn in all its glory and remember the process of making it. And what is another fifteen minutes spent on a ball of yarn that has already taken me hours upon hours to process and spin? I like to think that I owe it to the yarn to spend that extra time and care to make it shine.<\/p>\n<h3>The technique<\/h3>\n<p>The technique is basically the same as for winding with a nostepinne, but instead of turning the nostepinne you will turn the ball on your thumb.<\/p>\n<p>If you happen to be right-handed, you have the opportunity to learn how to wind with your left hand. You can also translate the image to right-handed in your head. The description in the titles is made to work with any hand. This is how I do it:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>If I work from a skein I put it over my knees or the arm rest of my chair and wind from there.<\/li>\n<li>I hold the yarn end in my hand and wind the yarn <em>very loosely<\/em> around my thumb. You don&#8217;t want to stop the blood flow in your thumb and you do want to be able to turn the ball with ease.<\/li>\n<li>I wind diagonally from <strong>lower outside of the thumb to the upper inside<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>For every round I place the strand of yarn closer to the inside of the thumb.<\/li>\n<li>After a while I can wind a little less loosely.<\/li>\n<li>When the front is full I <strong>turn the ball outwards.<\/strong> This way\u00a0I can keep placing the strand of yarn towards the inside of the thumb again. This is where I would turn the nostepinne if I were using one.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I shot the video on Christmas Day. I generally don&#8217;t make outdoor spinning videos in the winter since the lanolin solidifies in the cold. But for winding yarn I don&#8217;t need to draft.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2391\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2391\" style=\"width: 3007px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"2391\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/slow\/img_6160\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/IMG_6160.jpg?fit=3007%2C3254&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"3007,3254\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;1.8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;iPhone 8&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1546514363&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;3.99&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;20&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.0027322404371585&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"IMG_6160\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/IMG_6160.jpg?fit=525%2C568&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"wp-image-2391 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/waltin.se\/josefinwaltinspinner\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/IMG_6160.jpg?resize=525%2C568&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"A hand wound ball of handspun yarn.
