Beautiful thank you for sharing your voice and song! It brought tears to my eyes. I have no knowledge of my ancestors as it was hidden by my great grandmother for her protection and her children as I have come to understand. I wonder how much of my love for fiber arts and even the urge to get sheep comes from my ancestors.

It was such an honor to watch your beautiful demonstration and to listen to your melodic voice. Thank you for sharing your culture and teaching us about your process. I am a knitter who lives in Amsterdam but moved from Arizona a couple of years ago. I work in yarn procurement for a knit shop and am trying to learn all I can about the process from land to sheep, to fleece to the people that prepare the yarn for handmade projects. I am so inspired to learn to prepare yarn and spin it myself.

Beautiful, fascinating video. But I do have a question: it's unusual to see spinners swap colours on the one yarn - unless they're using wool that has been dyed in multiple colours. I don't think I've ever seen a spinner deliberately change the thickness of the yarn they are making mid-yarn as it were. Was this for demonstration purposes or is it something the Navajo do traditionally or is it for a particular purpose? Sorry, more questions, do you ply the yarn once you've spun it? What will this yarn be used for?

I don't believe I could have said it better than Deborah Rosen, above. She is an eloquent writer and a keenly perceptive person. May I add my simple gratirude to you, ma'am, for sharing your ancient wisdom, your beautiful songs and your powerful medicine with those of us who would seek to learn at your knee. Many thanks from Tennessee!

Thank you for this lovely demonstration - the minutes where you are just singing and spinning are so soothing. I love learning the types of activities that were historically evening-womens'-social types of things. A lot of my fiber and textile hobbies fit in here, even though I do them alone nowadays

I love the beautiful colors of your churro sheep, and the funny way they inspected the camera in the opening scene. I stayed with a Dine" family sometimes in the summer, and loved spinning. It was so soothing. Watching you card and sing and spin brings back many memories.

This video was a joy to watch. My mother’s family can be traced back to Polish spinners and weavers who moved from Poland to Flanders and The Netherlands out of poverty back when the Flemish cloth and tapestry industry was famous and profitable. They settled, integrated, became prosperous themselves. Somehow the art of spinning and weaving appeals to me and fascinates me but I’ve never taken the plunge more than very occasional dabbling. The background is vastly different, there is no comparison between the paths history has taken our families. But it strikes a chord. I do have a deep respect for family and for tradition. Maybe it’s that… One thing I absolutely loved was the connection you can feel throughout this video. The introduction alone: connecting to both the the maternal and paternal lines, followed by “I am a mother, I am a daughter, I am a weaver…” 💖 Every fiber in the yarn and later in the finished fabric is going to breathe the respect, the love, the tradition of the spinner and weaver. That makes the resulting work invaluable. Thank you.

Hello. I came out of a mild interest in the spinning, and became absolutely fascinated by her singing and explanations of the cultural heritage! I especially loved that she took the time to explain the song after having sung it. It is wonderful to have even a small insight of what the song was about. It makes me also very curious into what the other 'weaving/working' songs are that she spoke about. Would I be wrong to presume that there were small weaving instructions 'woven' into the music? Ummm... no pun was intended! ;)

Thank you so much. I came onto KZitem looking for information about Navajo spindles and spinning to share with a long-time friend who is a new spinner, and I found your wonderful video. I had the honor of visiting with your mother on the Navajo Nation a long time ago--likely the summer of 1996. So glad to "meet" you through this video.
