Sunday mornings are for #gardenknitting.

Hanks of silk yarn in a variety of colors ranging from blues and purples and a very bright green.

I am working through some color samples to decide on a palette for an upcoming project. I’m in love with how the silk noil just softens all the colors. #handdyedyarn #handweaving #silkyarn

More pictures of the yarn I dyed yesterday. Cochineal overdyed with osage on silk (right) and wool (left).

Dyeing results from yesterday! I really like how the yarn turned out, the silk is a really pretty rose gold pink and the wool is a red- fuschia. I'm going to overdye half of it with osage to see what I get.

Silk yarn, textured, resting in a bowl

First I made a silk hankie (months ago), then I made a yarn from it (this weekend). I cannot wait to do more silk processing in my spinning.

Highly textured yarn against a blue background

Texture for days! This is actually just silk noil, not even blended. I love it and I loved spinning it. Before this class it didn’t really occur to me that you could just spin noil on its own.

Sneak peek at a little knit that's been waiting to be finished for about 20 years. Ancient Handmaiden fine silk yarn & Raspberry stitch (augmented to purl 5 together, not 3.) It got put away for some crisis, now it's time to finish. Photos later. 🧶

Do you like being kissed by the sun? I think when you feel the warmth just right on your skin (w/ sunscreen) that's a kiss from the sun. 🌞

This is a recent order one of the newest colorways "sun-kissed persimmon" in 100% pure silk. Look at that sheen! 😍 🧶
