Sea Change

The ocean warms, absorbing the heat of our folly. Ice melts, fish die, sea rises, coastlines change.  Sea Change is a four panel tapestry woven as a reflection of the inevitable sea level rise brought about by climate change and the swell of inevitable grief that change will bring in its wake. 

This tapestry piece is woven of handspun gradient wool on a wool warp. The weft is spun from superwash domestic wool that fades from browns and greys to blues and greens and into turquoise. It was woven in 2019 and is currently available in the shop.

Halloween Roundup!

Some year, I will find myself approaching the night when the veil between the worlds is at its thinnest and I will be pulling scarves and bags off of my loom in colorways dedicated to the three witches in Macbeth or to the legendary medieval flying salves as a celebration of this particularly witchy time of year.

Alas, that year is not this year. The studio is deep in the midst of transition and my timing in seasonal projects is as abjectly off kilter as it ever was.

However, I do have a seasonal thing or three floating around the shop so if seasonal crafting is your happy place, click through and take a look.

There’s one single solitary candy corn stitch marker left. I adore candy corn, and now that I’m having to avoid commercial chocolate due to dairy intolerances, I’m even more fond of it. I know, them’s fighting words apparently.

Are you a knitter? I need pattern help! Santa's Village 12 Days of Christmas spinalong

Q

If you've been following me on Instagram, you may have seen bits and pieces of this spin come together: it was a really fun spinalong with Inglenook Fiber's group over on Ravelry.  Spun from fluffly batts of a blend of wools, silks, and sparkle, I ended up with a (mostly) worsted weight yarn.  This was a bit of an experiment for me, playing around with spinning thicker loftier singles than I frequently aim for for weaving, and I learned to chain ply!  It was super fun and super satisfying.  But now I'm stuck! 

I want to knit this up into something just for me, I'm leaning towards a small shawl or scarf.  My problem is that almost all of the patterns I have saved are for fingering weight yarn in larger yardage quantities than I have here.  I have approximately 190 yards of mostly worsted weight yarn.  I'm looking at the Quaker Yarn Stretcher pattern or at a more free form short row experiment, but I'm not entirely in love with either idea....  do any of you knitters have any suggestions for me?
