Amazing! Hi Viv ❤️

Did you ever try making textiles out of stinging nettles? Yes it’s possible and now it’s prime picking time for winter retted nettles in Sweden! An extensive how-to can be found in my book Slöjd 🇬🇧 / Vardagsslöjd 🇸🇪, available in bookstores and online at www.kerstinneumuller.com 🩵

Painting gold stars on a rigid heddle ⭐️

A year since we shot the pics for the sashiko book I wrote with Takao Momiyama! It was such a pleasure working with him and my photographer Ellinor Hall 💙

Painting weaving heddles today 😊 #craftsky #chipcarving #rigidheddle

Happy publication day to my fourth book in English!

Heddle release: February 13, 2025 — Kerstin Neumüller Smoke marbling rends very haphazard patterns and that can be a bit nerve wrecking for a …”control oriented“… person like me. The thing I find the most frustrating is that one can never repeat a patter...

Smoke marbled heddles going up for sale on Thursday!

A still view of a desk holding the beginnings of three band weaving projects. The bands have wee hearts woven into them.

A handwoven band is held against a ruler to demonstrate how wee it is. The band is less than a quarter of an inch wide.

A picture of an improvised heddle-threading set-up. The warp threads are weighed by a wooden bowl in the background, held in order by popsicle sticks in the midground, and threaded through the heddle in the foreground.

A still view of a wooden desk holding paraphernalia related to narrow width weaving. There are multiple handcarved wooden rigid heddles, handmade bags, and spools of weaving yarn. In the background is a handspinning project in progress. The scene suggests chaos but promises order.

Chaos to order to chaos again in a virtual class with @kerstinneumuller.bsky.social

Psst!
The English version of my 4’th book “Vardagsslöjd” has just arrived! The official release date is February 13 but I’ve added a pre order to my website www.kerstinneumuller.com 💙

Thank you 😊

Haha I love that!

Started drawing #koginzashi weaving charts when my apprentice was here and now I might need to make myself a heddle with space for A LOT of threads 😅 or maybe this is a backstrap loom job!

My very first apprentice Nina had been staying here for two days, learning the basics of Hitomezashi stitching. Now I’m thinking of how to turn this into an online class!

Wehoo!

I picked these apples last autumn and stashed them in a basket in an unheated part of the house I live in, and then I forgot about them until now. Thinking they’d probably all just rotted I went to deal with them and look what I found! Perfectly matured, sweet and colorful apples!
