#knitting with handspun

[janerhoadesart]

we’re currently in the process of packing up all our stuff to move this month, so that’s why i’ve been a little extra quiet and inconsistent about posting 😅

however, i did manage to finish this cute little cardigan… i spun raw fiber (a blend of camelid, a couple types of wool, and silk i found on ebay!) into yarn, plied it, and then used the yarn to knit this up from a pattern (if you’re interested in the pattern just comment and i’ll link you to it lol).

but it’s now my most favorite cardigan even though i usually gravitate towards neutrals and greens for my clothes. it’s surprisingly warm, too!

Hope everyone that celebrates had a happy thanksgiving!

I cooked, and knit, and read, and watched a movie.

My current library stack is a bit overgrown, so I’ll be trying to make a dent in that over the weekend and into next week.

On the left we have yak and on the right baby alpaca and together they become the softest most annoying thing I've ever spun

#spinning from the fold appears to be my only option with how little the yak cares about staying put in my blend #destined to be a knit hate for my father-in-law #the staple length of the yak is at most 1.5“ #wishing I had something like bfl or polwarth to bulk it out #hand spinning #yak #alpaca #wool #fibre #yarn #handspun

I never seem to talk about it anymore but I still make things! I have a ton of project photos that I'll be posting as I'm organizing my backups. This is an Iggy Peck sweater out of handspun polwarth, with needle-felted steeks.

#handspinning #handspun #knitting #much worn and loved #need to get snowed in at a cabin wearing this #stopped catching my floats after the first body repeat and it was the right thing to do #you can see the float catching contrast in the middle of the lozenge/diamond pattern #sweater is so fluffy and lightweight that the felted steeks don't add much bulk #woolen or semi-woolen yarn for stranded colorwork is my fave (this was the latter) #pip makes stuff

Handspun from rolags to its final forms! I adore this gradient.

It was combined with other yarns - different handspun in the cowl and farmed alpaca in the shawl. Now it’s just a 5 gram scrap.

These definitely deserve an actual photoshoot but I'm never gonna do that, so here's the usual 'pulled over to take pictures briefly'. Finally got my gloves back to a wearable and warm state after a couple weeks of darning (hard to call them done; im sure theyll need more work in the future). There wasn't any damage really, just severe thinning from wear, so it was a much faster mend than it could have been.

The gloves are suffolk wool naturally dyed by myself with horse chestnut hulls, prepared and spun by myself, then knit into gloves with my own pattern. The mending yarn is also entirely handspun scrap, with some of it being naturally dyed as well.

One of the gloves lost some length (or at least I think it did; there's no way it would have taken me this long to notice they're different sizes if I just made them that way); the only real difference between the two gloves is that I mended the longer one with my darning loom and the other by hand after getting annoyed with the loom. So I guess my tension by hand left something to be desired. It's not noticeable when they're on me though, so I don't care very much. No longer matching in exact size is a small price to pay for gloves that are much warmer and also look very cool B)

Additionally, they are acting slightly as hand compression gloves now, due to the fact that the woven darning doesn't stretch as much as the knit gloves. It's strong upon blocking but does stretch out with wear--interesting though. I've not had luck with medical grade hand compression gloves, so I'm curious about knitting or weaving a dedicated pair, now.

I'm recovering from what I'm pretty sure is a sinus infection but was determined to get back in the woodshop, so I wore my handpsun kerchief to keep my sore throat warm. Naturally, working has now made me too warm, so I hung it up to keep shavings off it and honestly, maybe I should get photos of all my small knit goods this way...

Ahhh I haven't really been focusing on my spinning lately, and my other crafts don't really lend themselves to filming in the same way.

Nonetheless please enjoy a break from my regularly scheduled Invader Zim posting for a spinning video!

And they're done! Such a fast knit this time, idk what happened.

Hermione's Everyday Socks by Erica Lueder BFL/Nylon dyed by garnbyransaljer (Insta) Spun by me, a 3-ply fractal, short forward.

I love them. The fit, the colors (amazing!). Now fingers crossed they'll wear well. And I might even have enough yarn left over to make a second pair if I make the cuff a little shorter.

I bought some Polwarth fiber dyed by a friend at market (Petit Ours Fibers), spun it into a 2ply at meetup, and then knit it into a Castle Cap.

Gotta love Polwarth.

Hello everyone needs to look at the sheep I just needle felted onto my gloves

The bodies are just some random white locks I had nearby which were suitably soft and fluffy (the pink sheep was avocado dyed debouillet again). The legs and horns are some black wool I spun bc I couldn't felt them small enough, so I just spun a quick 2 ply and embroidered them on. The faces are also embroidery with the handspun black wool--just some French knots. Was happy to find I still remember how to do them.

The gloves are kinda old and my work gloves so they're not in very good shape, but I'm not ready to make another pair. They started as badly washed Suffolk fleece which I dyed with horse chestnut hulls, carded into rolags, spun into a 2 ply, and knit into gloves using a self drafted pattern.

I'm very happy with the outcome :3
