Marsha’s Projects
Socks: Using Red Heart Heart and Sole in colorway Black Jack. Finished first sock and started heel flap of the second sock.
Mountain High: Heidi Kirrmaier. Using my handspun Flowers From My Garden. I decided to put the body on waste yarn and knit the sleeves. Of course color work is different because sleeve circumference is smaller than body. Occasionally breaking yarn to manage color. Finished first sleeve and about a third of the second sleeve.
Sheridan Flats Spinning: Purchased 24 oz of 80/15/6 wool/mohair/silk roving in the colorway Kaleidoscope. The owner said to spin at a worsted weight for best results. Mill is Olympic Yarn & Fiber located in Cosmopolis, WA. I’ve filled two bobbins to date.
Rag Rugs: Wound warp for four rag rugs and started warping loom. Warp is 4” and 6” stripes in royal blue, green, and orange. I’ve threaded the heddles and reed, and need to attach the warp to the front beam. Then I’ll turn my attention to preparing fabric strips.
Weaving Studio: It’s a work in progress.
Garden Redesign: I’ve created a project page.
Kelly’s Projects
Accidental Dishtowels are off the loom and washed. Waiting to be hemmed. Ran out of chenille for the three chenille rugs I had warped for. Decided to resley the 8/4 cotton warp to a denser sett (10 epi) and see how it works for a dish towel.
Natural Dyeing Experiments I started spinning the orange CA Red fiber dyed with toyon that had been steeped for 24 hours. Two bobbins are full. I plan to ply from a center pull ball when I’m finished with this spinning.
Chenille Rugs Part 2 Wound the warp and sleyed the reed.
Continuing my Sleeveless Vest by Lone Kjeldsen with handspun from Jazzman, “Judith says perfect fleece.” I am nearing the bottom of the armhole.
