... riley gave me some very lovely naturally dyed
baby alpaca which she brought back from peru
love it loosely spun
or spun in general
that's when it looks the most interesting
:: while enjoying journal de jours
i saw something you shouldn't miss
juliette bogers
hermine took a picture of the shop window
... my kind of heaven
it reminded me of abnit nijjar
weekend already...
have a nice one!
... a few mittens later
went for merino
also very soft and much more practical
...it looks like alpaca is more suited for spinning
except for the black kind
i'll show you some alpaca tomorrow
make that later because it's too dark
.... tried to felt some 3d shapes
the right one is made of alpaca fibers
left is merino
this is just practicing but i like to show you
the trial and error as well.
...i'm going to felt myself some gloves
happy weekend
