Spinning Lock Yarn
Posted on: 09/03/2014
Spinning lock yarn is so fun! There are so many different ways to spin lock yarn. You can start with a base of wool and add the locks to that as you go. Or you can only spin locks and/or add other spin in materials as well. If the goal was for us all to spin a lock yarn..I think they would all be different and beautiful. Creating unique beauty is so soothing to my soul. I wish that on everyone! Here’s a few pics of some of my latest lock dyeing adventures. 🙂
These are English Leicester locks from Namaste Farms 🙂
A few fun and new things happened around here last week. One is this fun little newborn prop set was created! My arms got a work out from putting it into position (in the air) while slipping on all the ribbons and fabric. Next time I might have to table the whole situation. It took longer and used more material than I thought. Upon comparison, the ribbons/fabric I used for this is quite long, at 10 – 12″ deep. It will look great as a background with some distance and can always be shortened by the customer.
Another most exciting thing for me was the acquisition of a new camera. Everything is set to auto..because yes, I am mostly lost, so I am driving it on auto pilot…but I am beyond..beyond..beyond..excited to learn! The above photo was taken with my cyber shot digi, the photo below was taken with a Nikon.
I’ve listed the newborn prop set in my ilashkisses Etsy shop and you can find it there. 🙂
This week brought again a grand reception to my handspun yarn kits! The latest one is on it’s way to it’s new home. I am having a lot of fun creating them!
I’m looking forward to another week of making fun of fiber, and exploring more photography projects! Make sure you check in on my facebook page to keep up on all the latest! Thank you for following along! Happy creating!
