Hi all,
Are you still weaving? If you couldn't figure out what the last weaving I did was... it was a bumblebee on a flower. Organic shapes were right, Tommye. Thanks for your comments.
Here is another finished tapestry. If I left out the red I would say it was a lemon, the shape turned out to be fairly good for a lemon. Remember, I am still learning. I bought some wool at a local yarn shop in Kennesaw, worsted weight. I think the wool does much better than the cotton but I need the economy to pick back up so that I may go buy a large amount of various hues and shades because there just are not enough colors to choose from. I still don't understand yarn and weights and am afraid to buy off the internet. These were from the Brown Sheep Co. and they smell heavenly. I keep sniffing them.
My husband brought home these yarn snippets the interior design dept. at his office was throwing out. Great value gradation but only 4" long and not a wonderful feel to them. Any suggestions as to what can be done with them? Or should I just toss them out?

Hi, Lauren,
ReplyDeleteI really love the two pieces you've posted. You have such talent at this. I'm not sure if you should throw out those pieces of yarn that don't feel good, but I know I've been working on a little tapestry (that isn't working at all!) using rug wool on large cones, stuff I bought at R&M years ago, and it doesn't work as well as the softer wool we used at Tommye's. I used it along with her yarn on the first tapestry and it was acceptable so maybe your 4-inch yarn bits could be used to fill in color gaps with your other yarn.
