Recently, there was a LYS yarn crawl in my area, and even though I couldn’t make it to every shop, I found some real gems. At my last stop, I picked up this gorgeous wool/silk/sari silk/angelina batt created by a local fiber artist…and turned it into this:
This is just so stunning!! Love seeing each step of the transformation.
Your yarn crawl inspired me to look for similar events in my area. I found out I juuust missed a local “Wool Walk.” I’ve it marked to look out for next year!
This is sooooo pretty! I love that you can turn a batt into something so beautiful. They are beautiful alone, but the way you worked your magic and it is so much more. Do you have an idea of what you’ll make with it?
Ugh, yes. I had some recycled silk yarn from Darn Good Yarn and the color red came off onto my hands when I was knitting. After washing it became a lot more muted, but was still gorgeous. I just wish I would have known and washed it ahead of time! Silk is gorgeous and soft but not very dye absorbent!
