Cords, green and purple, originally uploaded by Marian Florcita.
Spinning relaxes me. I don’t know if it is the rythmic almost monotonous sound of the wheel… but it just sooths me! I’ve been making some cords which can double as necklaces or bracelets. This one here has cotton, merino wool, silk, bamboo…and…….I think that’s it. It’s [...]

Setting the twist
April 26th, 2010 · 2 Comments · Fibre Art, Spinning
This turned into these (scroll down) skeins over the weekend. They are now drying with some weight on them to set the twist. It’s cloudy outside but the breeze will do it’s trick. I don’t know if you can really see it on the pictures, but here you have an example of how differently fibres [...]

As long as it’s sunny
April 21st, 2010 · 5 Comments · Dyeing, Fibre Art, Spinning
I’m the kind of person that as soon as sees sun, MUST run outside. I feel like I am wasting my time if I stay indoors. Which, as you might imagine, didn’t make my life very easy when I had an office job.
Felting outside is not very easy. Well, laying the wool isn’t [...]

Tea dye

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 [...]

Dyeing adventures…
September 30th, 2009 · 11 Comments · Dyeing, Fibre Art
A few months ago I received from Monika from Red2White a little package in return for a package with wooden and ceramic buttons I sent her. Among other goodies, she included a bag of 100gr of logwood (Haematoxylum campechianum) and alum. Coincidentaly, as if the universe was trying to tell me something, the next day [...]

Hand dyed and hand spun
September 11th, 2009 · 10 Comments · Dyeing, Fibre Art, Spinning
Remember a while back I had a couple of posts on my dyeing adventures ? And I had selected some fibres to spin during a weekend… Well, I don’ t know about you but week after week have gone by and I haven’t noticed. Or actually, I did notice but I haven’t figured out yet [...]
