I am not normally a dress person but I found what amounts to a rectangle sewn up on the sides with arm and neck holes left open and I would love to find more of this kinda thing.

Problem being, I have no fucking idea what this kind of garment is referred to as and googling 'rectangle dress' is not proving fruitful.

Anyone know?

Sidenote: I think it fascinating that some of our earliest clothing came from just wrapping a rectangle of cloth around you and that we still do it today.

Having my own loom gives me foolish notions for weaving my own version of this dress at some point, just think of the pattern possibilities!

I could also figure out how to weave and leave a rounded topped v hole for the neck to minimize the amount of sewing required

That's so neat! I wonder if this has any applications in dyeing wool...

Ooooh very intriguing!

What is the benefit to dyeing with ice? I assume it does something to the way the dye presentsin the final product?

People who sell handspun yarn, how do you manage it when the profit margins are so razor thin?

I'm unable to work and money is tight so I've been considering how I can contribute financially and attempt to save up for the future but boy, things look lean.

If you sell your handspun, I'd love to hear from you either in my DMs or the replies/reblogs/tags because I have to make this work somehow...

Now to figure out what to do with such a small amount of yarn >.<

I'm very happy with the colours but want to figure out how to dye things so I get less obvious barberpolling when plying, I prefer a more marled look but that might just come down to blending

Finished spinning the single from my dye workshop and now onto plying!

3-needle join

You are more likely to encounter the 3-needle cast off, which I particularly like using for shoulders. But it’s also possible to do a 3-needle join without casting off, if you want to join two layers of fabric and then knit on, e.g. if you are making a folded hem and have used a provisional cast on.
