Let’s talk about weaving with wool. If you haven’t had a chance to try out some wool yet, you are in for a treat. Not only does it have some supernatural properties, it’s also so dang pretty!
In today’s episode, I’ll be giving you the nickel tour of the world of wool yarn – including it’s amazing strengths and unique challenges. My hope is that it’ll inspire you to give it a try. Who knows – you may love it!
Show Notes –
Weaving with Wool – The very smart folks over at Gather Textiles did a blog post covering the process of weaving with wool, which is fascinating! They go into much more depth than I did in the video. So if you are longing for more, more, more, be sure to check out their notes (which you can find right here).
Other fibers – Last June, I did an intro to Tencel, which is another fun fiber to explore! Its shiny goodness is perfect for SO many things and I highly recommend you add it to your list of fabulous fibers to play with. In case you missed that particular episode, I have it handy. This link will zip you right to it.
