Hand dying yarn

En så trevlig lördag med Handvävarna i norr då vi färgade ullgarn och en bit ylletyg.Vi lekte verkligen med färger och jag lyckades också använda andra färger än de blå.Blev så inspirerad av en virkad del av en väska som var gjord i liknande färger.Garnerna kan användas vid vävning,stickning eller virkning . http://www.riksvav.se/norrbottenkretsen Yesterday we hade a wonderful day hand dying wool yarn and a little peace of wool fabric.Darker blue and lilac are my favourite colours but I also did one skein in colours a friend had nade a little crochet part of a bag.Then yarn can be used in weaving,knitting or crochet,

October in stitches

We have been playing with different stitches during the first part of October. First of all "kråkspark" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ncpRTKHeg_A and french knots https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K3PLmGY3AVI The course started with black yarn on white fabric and then white on black.A good start of learning more about doing own interpretations of stitches in combination. As you can see we have got a little snow now but soon it´s going to melt down.The colder season is here and I need a new shawl now and I do it in the same way as earlier.i wish you all a nice day. As you can see my comments are shut down and it´s because I have got so many spam comments every day.I'm so happy if you go on visiting my blog.
