Yarn Cake, Work in Progress

Starting to turn my random dyed organic cotton yarn into “cakes”. It is making a nice striped effect on the cake.

This is the textured organic cotton from India, that was dyed with charcoal dust from German grape vine shoots. About 30 more to go.

Random

To mimic the random growth of grape vines, the random texture of the organic yarn, I decided to spot dye the yarn to give the future weaving the same feeling.

Now the curing phase begins for about two weeks

2.5 Kilos of Organic Cotton Yarn from India. The Black was made by the Charring of Grape Vine Shoots from Germany.

Handcrafted Lap Blankets for Wheelchair Users. For Yourself or a Love One.

I have added a new size of woven blanket. They will be the same as my other blankets in texture, color and fibers. the only differences is that they are woven narrower to fit within the width of the wheelchair wheels. I will be offering two sizes, lap and full length. These blankets will be one of the few weaving that I will be offering online for purchase.

I wanted to add more texture to the next blanket on the loom. I am using two thickness of yarn, 3/2 and 5/2 cotton yarns switching between every third row.
