MoreBrowns

In October 2025 I showed you my last season's browns. In the picture above you can finally see also the 8th skein of 100 % wool yarn. Its on the left side. This plant dye experiment is for my upcoming book. Because of the results I received now, I started one more round to go for this plant dye experiment with the shade of brown. I will get the results at the end of summer 2026. Just for the curiosity. Meanwhile I will be editing my upcoming book. 😀

Shepherd'sCrochetHat

Do you remember my AAW Mittens No10? I designed and made a hat for them! I used our own AAW yarn (50% our own ethic produced arctic angora wool, 40% ethic produced FinnSheep wool and 10% nylon) (100g = 238m). I plant dyed the yarns with coffee and tea. It is ethic and sustain produced wool and dye. Also, it is a slow craft and FashionNOW. It is very warm and He loves it!

BobbinLaceBookmark No1

I designed and made this bobbin lace book mark. I used DMC Embroidery Thread for this project. I used loose end variegated shades threads to get it more lively.

This is how you get them to keep the original shape. First you Iron them and then stiffen them. This bookmark includes only the basic whole stitch and at some points extra twists. Very easy to complete also at the beginner's level.

KnittedGloves AAW No2

I designed and knit a pair of knitted gloves for Him. I used natural indigo dyed our own snag grey AAW yarn (40% our own ethic produced arctic angora wool, 40% FinnSheep wool, 10% arctic dog wool,10% nylon) (100g = 238m). They are very warm because of the angora and chiengora (dog wool) fibers. Very sustainable and FasionNOW.

BackToKitchen

Finally I made more kitchen towels. No wonder the old ones were worn out because I made them 2017! Here you can find the tutorial for Recycled re-usable kitchen towel -tutorial.

I love these recycled re-usable kitchen towels. I have used them for over 20 years. I always choose 100% cotton because you can then wash them even in 90 Celsius degrees. You should have at least 5 of them and change one at least once in a week. You don't necessarily need to change it daily. You just rinse it by a warm/hot water after the use, squeeze as dry as possible and hang to dry as flat as possible. When it dries proper at least during the night, it reduces the bacteria.
