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!
