New shipment of yarn

I just received my new shipment of yarn today.
This is 5 kilo's of Imported Organic Peruvian Cotton.
The Non-GMO and Hypoallergenic Cotton was hand harvested by the local farmers to insure its quality.

First the yarn will be pre-washed to allow for shrinkage. Then warped up on the floor loom to make some baby items and maybe weave a large throw. Maybe just in time for this years holiday season's market.

Off the Loom

Off the loom and ready for fringing then maybe some pigment paint to give it some color. This will be a tough decision on what style of fringe to use. Organic Bast Fiber Scarf. Imported Organic Hungarian Linen & Imported Organic Wild Himalayan Nettle Fiber.
