Yarn Along...

Collecting.

Winding..


Reclaimed fiber makes me happy.
Vintage yarns, yarn from sweaters, vintage cones..

This collection is for a DIY weaving class I am teaching
at the end of the month.



Dyeing the colors of spring..

'Printemps'

Brilliant green leaves, redbud blooms, peachy maple tree tips 
ready to pop..

Library love:


Reading 'The Mockingbird Next Door: Life with Harper Lee" ..

Just cast on the "Ardent" by Kallio knits.
So much for those UFO's..

    Oh my goodness, this is hands down the favourite yarn of mine this spring. How incredibly beautiful— and perfectly springy. :) I must have it.

    How wonderful to reclaim yarn from old sweaters, something I haven't tried before but really should. I would rather re-use something than send it to land fill.

      Hi Becki!! Yes, the yarns are all "reclaimed" ~ recycled sweater yarn, random thrift shop scores, and vintage yarns from estate and yard sales. So much fun to collect!!

    Something about little balls of brightly colored yarn makes me wicked happy!
    Excellent book selection choice. I love Harper Lee and will need to add that book to my To-Read list. Thank you.
