Adult Luuhka 2

I made a simple style Forest Sámi Luuhka. 

It is for daily life use for a hunter.

The shades are forest green and green.

In the daily use it has a different kind of brooch for closing up.

AAW Mittens No8

 

I designed and knit also this pair of AAW mittens. I used plant dyed (coffee) AAW yarn (50% our own ethic produced arctic angora wool, 40% ethic produced FinnSheep wool and 10% nylon) (100g = 238m). 

AAW Mittens No7

I designed and knit this pair of AAW mittens. I used plant dyed (saskatoon and coffee) AAW yarn (50% our own ethic produced arctic angora wool, 40% ethic produced FinnSheep wool and 10% nylon) (100g = 238m). 

KnittedGloves AAW No1

I designed and knit for myself these beautiful and warm gloves. I used AAW yarn (50% our own ethic produced arctic angora wool, 40% ethic produced FinnSheep wool, 10% nylon) (100g = 238m). I plant dyed it by saskatoon berries (juneberries/serviceberries). For the decoration I knitted seed stitches.

SalmonChiengora

I designed and knit these traditional style mittens. First I collected the dog wool (chiengora), then I spun with Liinu the 100 % arctic dog wool yarn (Aran). After that I went into the woods to pick up mushrooms to plant dye the yarn. Only after that I was able to start the knitting. 

I designed also a special style scarf and knit also it. After finishing also the scarf I needed to wait a day with a bit of snow and light to be able to make these photos for you to show it. It really has been what we call the slow craft!

They make a great matching pair. And for sure they are extremely warm. They also include the wool from our dear dogs and the attitude of FashionNOW. Really local and eco-friendly clothing.

The shades are beautiful Salmon and Pale-Salmon. Plant dye is fun because at the end all the yarns and individual plants act in a different way!
