Fulling these blankets was a tough job. Watched Laura Fry’s class on Magic in the Water afterwards and they do both pass the cloth integrity finger poke test. Back to the drawing board for some sampling.

First weaving project of 2025! Have been wanting to try double weave for a long time. Plain weave all the way or get the rhythm. Wool warp and wool weft for the plaid one and suri/mohair/silk for the other. The warp was tough to beam on.

Trying to find the balance between all the fiber arts. Some lace and cable knitting going on in the background. It’s a lovely pattern - Softcurrent by @woolandpine.bsky.social
Scoured some Icelandic fleece from a local farm. So soft and lovely! How would you process this double coated fiber?

Sampling blends with Gotland fiber.

Spindle spun. Need to work with them now! ☺️

Crepe yarn! Slowly working through different yarn structures. A small sample here. 2 ply + 1ply - everything plied in the natural opposite direction. Look for the single wrapping around the 2-ply!

First spins of the year! Lovely advent from Marina Skua
Sometimes it’s nice to just sit and spin. Would love to see what everyone else is up to!
