Felting

Back in March I laid out fibres to make some lampshades, this week I finally got around to felting them and constructing them.  There will be a separate ‘new stock’ post about them, once the gallery have them out for sale.

Whilst I had everything out I also felted myself a new bin for my bedroom.   I took fibres that toned well with my walls, curtains, bedding etc.  I am really pleased with how it came out.

Spinning

I finished plying the horrendous blend of the fibre with soy silk in and here is the finished skein. It doesn’t look as bad as I had expected.

Sampler

A Guild member’s husband had made her some little 3D printed set of sampling looms in 7.5, 10 and 12.5 dpi.  She offered the same to interested members for a small fee, so I bought a set. 

I had a play with some 14/3 cotton warped double on the 10 dpi and then just playing doing 2-1 and 2-2 twill.  Even though both yarns are labelled 14/3 the mustard is a little thicker.  (I made mistakes with the 2-1 as I kept forgetting which 2 were above or under 😆).

Other News

I went to book club on Tuesday evening which was another lovely evening, other than that not sure I really have any other news, as you can tell I have been pretty busy!  I did finally do some of the laundry though 😆
