Another Shawl

Another hand spun shawl made using my Romney fleece singles, this made the shawl a lot lighter and I like the effect. The boarder is hand dyed yarn and the main part of the shawl is natural dark brown  all hand spun.

 

It's been a while since I last posted. This has been a year of healing for me from some major health issues and other issues.

 

Thank you to everyone who has paid a visit to my blog and for your patience.

I've finally posted some more work in my etsy shop and I hope you will stop by for a visit.

I had fun spinning dying and crocheting these colourful Easter scarves. I used Magic carpet acid dyes sprinkled on top of my Romney roving to create these colours. It was all spontaneously done and I love the results.

 

The scarves were crocheted using a # 6 crochet hook and a triple crochet. These are fun to make and hook up fairly quickly.

I've spent last month doing some acid dying, spinning yarn form my stash of fleece and knitting.  Here are a few of the scarves I've made.

 It's been very cold here and I decided to crochet a few shawls. These are 2ply yarns from my stash,  hand spun and hand dyed Romney wool from my girls. The variegated yarn was used for the trim on the brown shawl.

Spinning, Dyeing and Handweaving Small's

Cheryl's Small's

 As luck would have it I came across a tiny weave-it loom while out on one of my antiquing shopping trips.

I was so excited I could hardly wait to get home and try it out. 

 Out came the hand spun, hand dyed small balls of yarn I had saved.

 I was sure I could find a good use for them eventually.

 The result was these earrings.

 I had started to teach myself free motion embroidery ( not the easiest thing to learn) especially if your a neat nick.

So, applying all of my skills this was the end result.

 A pair of hand spun, hand dyed, hand woven and stitched earrings.

I just love them. Hope you enjoy them to.
