100% agree on the synthetic fibres, but it can be so difficult getting away from them. I should set this as one of my goals. Talking to people about how bad they are is just asking to be looked at like you're a tinfoil-hat moron, lol. Synthetics are such a bain to me also because of their static buildup. zap zap
I also love the earthy, natural creations you are making - definitely fabulous. I was lucky enough to be gifted a spinning wheel, so this is also part of my 'one day' plan. :)
and i agree, we need to focus on quality over quantity with our clothes. we keep them on (typically) for a LONG TIME. who doesn't want something nice, cozy, and safe against their skin?
Your work is absolutely beautiful. I am in the beginning stages of learning how to work with wool. I think it is an art we need to get back to. Thank you so much. This is very inspiring.
Oh I am so glad it is inspiring to you!!! and congrats on your journey into the world of wool! If you have any questions let me know. I look forward to posting more in the upcoming weeks.
This is gorgeous (fantastic lush and earthy photos!) and I love hearing more of the story behind your weaving (I feel so similarly)! Resteeming this gem <3
Oh...I’m jealous. I’ve long wanted to spin and dye our wool, but with life going, going, going...I decided it’s just not going to happen until life slows down a bit. We, too, much prefer linen and wool over synthetics. The Bible even tells us that linen and wool should be our clothing..but not mixed together. A side note: did you know that linen and wool, when mixed together actuallly counteract each other and it destroys their protective qualities for our bodies?
That is very interesting! No I had not heard of that before. What kind of sheep do you have? Have you ever considered having the wool milled into roving? Such a good investment sometimes, imo.
Sorry for the delay...been really busy lately. After several years of telling myself I would spin the wool that season and failing to actually DO it...we switched to hair sheep. Less maintenance.
