100% Mohair pillow from my goats. Hand sheared, hand dyed, hand spun, hand woven and hand finished right here in the USA.

I have a powerful need to start a new project...

#knitting #virtual yarns #alice starmore #fiber arts #rip my rav queue #currently got one sweater on hiatus because *someone* chomped his way through the one good set of 6mm needles #and i'm scared to start the other one because it involves having eight working yarns going at once. of 2ply mohair. #it's going to be a chiengora sweater. i know it. gotta bite the bullet though. #this looks amazing. idk if i'd wear it. that's the thing. you could layer it with something with pockets maybe?

I changed myind about mohair again as long as there's something between it andy skin it is incredibly warm and my therapist described the halo as "having a fairy aura" and that's the kinda whimsical I am after in life so I like mohair again now. Which is good cuz I got like 150g of lace weight kidsilk from colormart and I am super excited to use it and dye it light green so it looks like I'm wearing moss. It's gonna be great. Living my "oh to be covered in moss" dreams.

So I used to have yarn that was pretty much a thread of linen and a thread of cashmere held together. With linen being white, and cashmere being very nice blue. It was very thin - so thin in fact that I borrowed a winder to wind it into small cakes for convenience

But then I gave this yarn to mum's/family friend who also knits

And tbh I do kinda miss it

But also.. I do have a more manageable metre-age (500 m in 100 g in linen alone Vs 2500 m in 100 g for COMBINED thread) linen in colour that reminds me of milk chocolate

So I could kinda-recreate that yarn!

Just need 100-150 g of thin cashmere, like 1000-1500 m per 100 g. As bright as it can get. Maybe yellow, or orange, or cyan...

I just suddenly got hit with this realisation and I will need it to marinate a little, but so far... I'm liking it!

Not urgent in the slightest though. I have all the other Combined Threads to go through, but.. that'll definitely make me use that linen!!

#shut up kevin #craftsy talks #yarn #knitting #I love combination of different fibers and seeing how they interact tbh #from halo on mohair... to fluff-in-cotton-casing fluffing up and filling the space after a wash... #and in the swatch I made with that yarn after winding it - the cashmere also filled in the spaces left in the linen #I just think it's a very neat effect!!

Taking a hiatus from leatherwork to get back into fiber arts! I haven’t touched my drop spindle in probably 5 or 6 years, and I’m pleasantly surprised at how well this handspun merino/mohair is coming out, since I wasn’t a particularly good spinner 5 or 6 years ago. I’m occasionally ending up with a few slubs from shorter or clumpier merino fibers, but overall it’s relatively even. It’s SLOW going with lots of pre-drafting and park and draft right now, but very relaxing.

It’ll probably be between a light chunky and heavy worsted once it’s plied, and is a lovely blend of warm black merino and dark charcoal/silver mohair that adds a little luster. I’ll likely do a cabled cowl lined with something softer on the inside when it’s done, and maybe a matching hat depending on how much I end up with.

Kid mohair from Markl. Very long for a seven month old angora goat. I plan to blend this with silk, possibly cashmere.

People who work with lace mohair are fucking insane I'm working with some held alongside basic merino dk and I'm constantly on the verge of turning into the fucking joker

#fiber arts #knitting #i dont even want to think about what crocheting with mohair would be like oh god

OH MY GOSH YOU GUYS ANGORA RABBIT. IT IS SO SOFT.

#among the 13 pounds of fiber i recently acquired there is 1 oz of angora #and i think i may have died and gone to heaven #also i got some truly gorgeous kid mohair! have no idea what to do with it yet #trying to scope out which fiber to take with me on vacation...

Question, can you spin mohair in the grease?

I prefer spinning wool in the grease but I just bought some unwashed mohair and I'm not sure if it's best to wash it first or if it'll be ok if I wash it after spinning

I'm gonna ramble a little, pay no mind, or actually give me ideas and feedback but anyway I just need to write down my ideas somewhere

So for the bjd doll hair, there are. So many materials !!! I didn't know wig could be made of such different things

For the Kaeya cosplay, since it's long, dark blue (not a common color it seems) and straight (unlike Kaeya himself lol) I'm thinking nylon/fake saran. I'd have to make the wefts myself but that way I can adjust length layers to fit the Canon haircut better. It's cheaper than real Saran, and looks as good on pictures. For the light blue strand either I yarn brush a single weft or use a dyed white strand (depend on Louis' hair)

Emilie will probably be my next doll, and oh my god her hair is going to be the most annoying. Why did I make a girl with longish curly two-toned hair ? So either curled synthetic fibers (nylon too? Is it easy to curl/wave ???) or curly cheap mohair. It will depend on the brown shades disponible I guess, and then I'll have to see if I can use Regular Rit dye or some acrylic ink/alcohol mixture to dye the end of the wefts

Christopher will be the easiest : pure black, mid-lengt, straight in a proportionally inverted way to his sexuality. Either I buy more Nylon fibers or I do brushed yarn. The nylon would be better I think, his hair is pretty flat

Louis. Now Louis I now what I want but I'm unsure how to achieve it. See his actual haircut is rather short and fluffy, so I'm guessing brushed yarn would be good. BUT ! I want to use that boy as a Barbie model and dress him up in all kind of clothes and so I'd also like a wig with his "younger" haircut. Which was very long but still kinda fluffy hair. So now if I make both wigs I think it might be best to use the same fiber so no obvious and weird color/texture change between pictures. Does the straight Nylon fibers can curl and "fluffy up" well? Because if I do brushed yarn it's going to be so annoying and hard to get a nice, even length. I think I might end up putting a little more money for actual mohair lambskin for him. 15cm length on a 33cm doll should make nice long hair, right ?

I think I have some leftover yarn wefts from back when I became interested in bjd for the first time (before I made hard hair for my 1st attempt) so I guess I can use this for a random wig to get used to the feels/practice cutting. I definitely don't have the patience to make several whole wigs out of brushed yarn tho. And synthetic fibers are pretty cheap, especially if I buy all my colors at once to regroup the delivery costs

Guess I should try making some hard and soft wig caps at first.

#my crafts #Bjd #Wig #Hair #Rambling #The only synthetic stuff I've ever handled were Barbie hair and a cheap ass wig #These nylon/milk silk fibers are cheap as fuck but they look rather nice on picture but what about irl? #And can you Poof them for like bedhair ??? #Every doll I've seen seems to have perfectly straight Japanese oiled hair with these. All the fluff is always genuine mohair or fake fur #Tbh thinking about it the price difference between a pack of acrylic yarn in the right color and nylon is. Not too different. #Then again I'm not in a hard financial situation and I could afford to spend like 20 bucks on real mohair for Louis

Four of what i believe to be lace/crochet/knitting/etc pieces i got for a grand total of $3 for all. Considering the lace looks handmade, the crochet has to be handmade, and the knitting is impressive even if it were machined (which i can't tell) since it's such thin mohair.

I can't even fathom the hours and care that went into these. All condensed into $3 at an estate sale, amongst many other similar pieces.

the first rectangle looks like it's a cotton that'll take dye well, so I'm gonna try that.

The blue crochet will go on my plant table, and the third is undecided.

I don't know what I'm gonna do with the mohair one aside from use it as a short scarf; i tried to find more info on it but i could only see a single photo of another one that linked to a broken ebay page.

the tag reads "Made in England for Bloomingdale's / All Mohair"

So I'll try to figure out how i can repair it, and then maybe try to dye it too (although mohair might dye more lightly than i hope).

However it ends up, i'm still contemplating that basket of linens. So many pieces, all seeming to be handmade, potentially thousands of hours of work. All for a craft that modern styles have rendered obsolete.

there's a lot to think about there.

I could write more and more about how technical skill in and of itself contributes to the aesthetics of a piece outside of the finished product. But I'll leave that for another time. So, enjoy the doilies
