Archive for the ‘Felting’ Category
On the Annual Spinning Day I attended a workshop felting. It was given by Adrian Salomé,
who hand dyed the tops herself. There were very nice colour combinations…..it was not easy to choose!!
We seperated the combed wool in thin layers and made a circle. Beginning in the middle and then going round and round. During felting we tried to keep the circle intact and I managed quite well, I think….well it is a little oval maybe….
My husband was needed to make holes. I hadn’t enough strength.
This little basket is a success while knitting on the couch. The ball stays in 🙂
On our Annual Spinning Day one could select a workshop.
My favorite was felting and I am so proud of the result.
The workshop was given by Alexandra and she is amazing.
Just take a look at her blog.
Every evening they show us their shimmering light.
Yes, I really won this beautiful blend. It was given by ‘het wolbeest’ The photo shows blue and green, but it is turquoise and green, my favorite colours.
The blend of turquoise is Swifter/Merino/Camel / silk and angelina. The green is ‘Fries-melkschaap’ / Merino, mohair, Camel and soy-silk.
Now I have to decide: spinning or felting?
Not easy…but the blend is so beautiful, I think, in the end, I will choose for spinning.
The only thing I did was RT a tweet, can you imagine!?
It feels so soft…gorgeous. Thanks Alexandra.
