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.

Ready for Fall Markets.

Only three Natural and Organic items were used. Cotton from India, Soil from Italy, France and the USA. Home-Crafted Soy Milk.
The next group of blankets will be using natural dyes from plants.

Organic cotton, grown and spun in India. Mud dyed (stained) with organic soil. The mud dyeing gives the cloth a soft earthly color.

Rabbit Holes and Full Moon in Aquarius.

Over the last couple of years going down rabbit holes about clothing, I needed something new for spring markets. I have done scarfs and tea towels, but it just did not fit Llano Fiber.
So, with the full moon in Aquarius and a bolt of loom woven cotton it is time to test the waters for handcrafted clothing.

Cotton yarn from Georgia = ladies handcrafted overall.

WIP

Texture

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.
