Roxanne absolutely rocking her new poncho sweater

It might be about time to use this gorgeous lot to make another cosy #poncho sweater. I do love my #wearableblanket

More from the basket of joy.
The squishy #wool #alpaca yarn dyed with lac and overdyed with indigo (skein 2-3, different lengths of dip). Lovely patchy results

Nettles are a great source of fibre. Processing is time consuming and labour intensive but the result is worth it. You can even break curses 😉
In the #folktale of the The Six Swans, a queen with knowledge of witchcraft & stepmother to 6 sons, gets them out of her way with cursed shirts that change them from humans to birds. Their sister reverses the curse by sewing them shirts made from nettles. 🦢 👕#FairyTaleTuesday

#MotherNature is amazing. All those colours come from humble #mushrooms foraged last season. I'm spinning my #wool and #alpaca blend and dyeing it all with #NaturalDyes. Planning to use it all in one grand project

Hot off the loom
Chunky and cosy shawl. Just a little trim to the fringe and it can fly off to a new home. Is it to be yours?
