Remember a few days ago I posted about this wrap or scarf made with silk and merino. Very light and soft. Well, I dyed it with weld which gives a very pretty yellow. Since I was experimenting, afterwards I dip it in an old copper pot. I didn’t heat it up at all but I [...]

Multifunctional for the table II
August 16th, 2010 · 2 Comments · Felt

Multifunctional for the table
August 15th, 2010 · 4 Comments · Felt, Fibre Art
I’ve been making these for a while but never put one in the shop, until someone came over for dinner and saw that I could put all hot pots and pans on the table on top of this woollen cloth, without burning the table or running around looking for a bunch of place mats oro [...]

Now that the days are getting a bit nicer, I’m speding a lot more time outdoors. Going for walks, working in the garden. I ordered yesterday 3 new plants for the dye garden: woad (Isatis tinctoria) which gives a Blue dye. Madder (Rubia Tinctorum) that gives red, and weld (reseda luteola) which gives yellow. Last [...]

Raw wool experiments
March 13th, 2010 · 5 Comments · Felt
I wanted to show you some pictures of a few experiments with raw wool. I got this wool months ago but never got around to playing with it. This one is merino, raw but not so much…it has been washed and I think also bleached… I’m not sure. It hasn’t been carded, that is the [...]
