I love wool. This wool is for my mittens. This pyramid weighs about 2,5 kilos.
Here´s socks in progress knit with Kaffe Fassett´s line of yarn. I admire his eye for colors and patterns a lot.
I made this DIY solution for creating better rug swatches. I didn´t have patience to order a miniloom since I had to make a sample from a weave pattern in order to understand the treadling. So I bought a painting frame and some nails and voilà!
Heathered greys are the best, aren´t they? It´s a perfect combination of colour and texture.
I bought scissors with spring mechanism for cutting up my fabrics. Goodbye blisters!
Making more crochet mittens. It´s been a while since I did crochet. Too long in fact.
Knit mittens that are to be felted. I seem to stock up many pairs before I get started with felting. Perhaps because it´s the roughest part.
P.S I renewed my blog layout a bit. I moved the captions to the right of the pictures. Please let me know if it´s not working properly. Thanks.
I really like the new layout. I feel very confortable reading the captions this way.
It must be adorable to live surrounded by such beautiful wool. :)
thank you for the feedback.
actually wool gathers a lot of dust so at times it can also be frustrating having all these fibers around the house. but nothing beats the shimmer of wool, it´s very pleasing to my eye.
Oh thanks so much. I’ve been sneaking around here for a time and I love your photos and craft.
Plenty of yarn and plenty of love. Love to those who get to carry the creations!
thank you and nice to meet you.
I visited your blog and it´s filled with awesome creations. will come back definitely!
What is it about looking at yarn that makes you feel so good?
Hila, what a difficult question! If I was to theorize this (as I have in several essays previously for my studies) I find myself in complex web of of nostalgia, women´s work and (un)heimlich territories. I think you know where this is leading but how do I connect to all of that? In which way?
But if I take this as simple question I could just answer it appeals to my sense of beauty which is based on functional (very scandinavian) natural aesthetics but it wouldn´t be the whole truth. This remains a question unsolved on so many levels. And will I ever settle on for an answer?
