Better double down on it, just roll that long one up and have a little wrist cushion ๐Ÿคช๐Ÿ˜˜

Mmmm cones. 1st blanket, all cotton, 2nd blanket wool weft on cotton warp.
Yep I could buy a blanket cheaper but it would not be this cool, provide hours of challenge and entertainment, nor be a repository of memories such as this.

Brooklyn Tweed is ceasing yarn production. Kraemer Mills who did some of their production is closing.
Stonehedge to close, Zeilingers too?
A private equity firm now owns Knit Picks, Connecting Threads, Berroco AND just bought Jimmy Beans Wool + MadTosh & DellaQ.
Shop local, folks, before its gone.

A little bit of overshot weaving, what an interesting structure to play with.
Thanks to the Paliuse Hills Wesvers Guild for putting it on!

Who says wool isn't for next to skin wear?? Squishy 2x2 rib in small mill yarn, I need to look up grafting in rib to do a better job joining my racerback straps.

Yarn shipment sat in Buffalo NY for 7 days after coming from Canada. Now tracking says it's in Ontario again, conveniently in time to be hit with a new tariff? Wtf.
Reference the last post I made and Cashmere Squeeze, the most luxurious yarn I dye. It sells at $40 /4oz. Are you ready to pay $52???

Lots of learning with my double weave project here-- fun color combos, and check out the unintended tracking.

Anyone see these yet? It's a colorwheel that takes into consideration the hue and chroma and distance to other colors. And it totally agrees with the color choices in my sweater.
