Fiber goodies











Hello:) Iam back from work and i spun a lot and dyed a bit:) Here are the results from my day.

Its the first time I work with Sari Silk and its quite interesting to work with. And while I spun I thought about what to blend it with cause I will not use it alone, so I thought about something bright, like the colours in the Sari Silk and my thoughts got pink/red on its mind. The firber I dyed is from our own sheep this time and the breed is called "Dala". Its a norwegian breed as far as I know. http://nn.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dalasau (Sry, I only found an norwegian link)

While I was at work in Stavanger i started with a new shawl I will show you one of the next days. Iam not so happy with it yet. Had some problems with the pattern, but now I hope it will work.

Thats all for today. Cu soon:))

Some boucle




Here Iam again.
Iam a bit busy at the moment, because next week, Iam going off to work for some weeks again, so Iam cleaning and painting and moving furniture.

But in my tiny bit of spare time I made this: my first boucle.

The colours are a bit strong and its not much, but technical its not bad at all I think.

Its not much. The thread is made from some orange wild sheep fiber, I died earlier this year and the rest of it, is bought material.
Some red cotton thread and the gold is acryllic I think.
Last week I ordered some Sari Silk at Winghams shop in England and some other stuff too, and I hope to get before Iam off to work.
I will show it to you when get it.
Have a lovely weekend with lots of nice sunshine:)))
