All these threads I have hand dyed with indigo

 

Cupro - A B C D

This recycled cotton is gentle as silk on the hands but strong, with the ply creating a plump rounded thread. Skeins are shades in pale, medium and dark as well as a dip dyed version.

Length: 25 metres   Content: 100% recycled cotton*

Thickness: plied thread - about equivalent to using two out of the six plies of a standard embroidery floss

*Cupro is a type of rayon made by dissolving cotton cellulose with cuprammonium salts and spinning the resulting solution into filaments. The chemicals used are free of compounds toxic to health or the environment. Cupro is biodegradable.

Silk - E F

Smooth dip dyed silk in two weights - 

Fine E is approximately equivalent to No 10 cotton perle

Medium F is approximately equivalent to No 8 cotton perle

Length: 25 yards  Content: 100% silk

Linen Lace Thread - G H

These threads are rare vintage Swedish linen for lace making and are offered in two dip dyed options - Subtle G and Bold H

Thickness: like machine sewing thread

Length: 25 metres, in 50 pre-cut 0.5m lengths      Content: 100% linen

Hand Spun - J

This is the joker in the pack! A single ply thick and thin hand spun silk perfect for couching down in mixed media pieces or adding as a feature weft in a small tapestry.

Thickness: between 1mm and 4mm in diameter, approximately

Length: 20 yards      Content: 100% silk

indigo dyed cupro*****Posted by Maura T on April 9 2024 at 22:52Lindsay has some lovely threads-- I had never heard of cupro before , it is a really lovely stitching thread with a nice "feel" and also from recycled cotton! In view of its recycled history I will be using it along with textiles that are repurposed or recycled thrift shop finds . arrived quickly and as usual -- beautifully packaged - it felt like I was getting a surprise gift! lovely experience!

🌿Tiny jug of tiny flowers (and marjoram for leafiness).
Partnered with two perfect greenfinch feathers found on the garden path. 
Very little else was left - a sparrow hawk’s dinner, alas.

🧶my comfort zone knitting!

I used a lush combination of @bordermillshop pure alpaca sportweight and a pleasing gradient of @wee_county_yarns 10gm balls for a dead simple sea-inspired cowl. 
Washed and lightly roasted in the summer sun, ready for winter days. 
Obviously will have to wear these earrings at such times😉
Sunday morning
All is calm
How very fortunate I am to live in this corner of the world

A wee Sunday windowsill with all the shades from my unkempt garden. 
I know they won’t live long indoors but they make me happy🤗
