A few new pieces



I have a gallery page started to show the pieces I am making this summer. I will be adding more pieces in September as I start to make pieces for fall, so bookmark that page and check it often.


If you visited earlier, and read the entry about my experiments with alpaca, you can see the cocoon I made with a similar design approach to an earlier piece I made. Very different - softer, and lacier, but also a little furry, which was not planned. Not so much a summer fiber then. But still nice. I had been trying to replace the long-staple Icelandic which was my first try at a cocoon, and miraculously turned out well. But Icelandic fleece is a little wiry, which is why I have been trying to find replacement. So, more trials, not that it isn't fun to play with different fibers! I still haven't done anything with the cashmere yet. More fun to come!
