Made to Order, New Delivery of Handspun Yarn from India.

25 kilo’s of made to order yarn. Shipped from Bhubaneswar City (Known as the Temple City of India), India.

5 kilo’s of khadi cotton yarn, 10 kilo’s of recycled saree silk yarn and 10 kilo’s of a 50/50 blended merino wool (18 micron) with mulberry silk.

It took the ladies three weeks to acquire the fiber and to spin the yarn. Shipping took one and half weeks, half a week was in customs.

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

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.
