Splash of Yellow

 

This is where I have used a splash of yellow yarn to give a splash of difference. I used landscape dyes to colour. I had done some solid dyed yarn for a present, this is what I did with the dye left to see if my other idea would work. Yes the dye idea worked. The pieces are to be wet finished.

Dyed Idea

This set of pictures is the process of two making for one.
We dyed the yarn.
Warp is wound.
Then looked at.
Woven by two and finished.
Then delivered and now the if part of will the recipient wear it.
But then we realised no finished picture oh well that happens in life.


Remembered I do have samples which is lovely.

Present making & Holiday Season



I have been making for the markets leading up to Christmas and New Year. Which involved quite a few trips to use larger equipment. I have been fusing and getting together with a friend to co-join make. While I have not posted for a while it has been a busy time.


  Here is what I have been making, pendents and plates, which seem to be orgainic in inspiration.

I tried solar dyeing for a first time, and the begining of using this method will continue as I really enjoyed what came from the pieces.
