Lets have a look at my new collection items.
I bought this yarn in Ribe's Broderi & Garn shop, in Ribe.
First:
Sandnes Garn Fritidsgarn. A Bulky 12 ply yarn. colors go from dark green, to lighter green to light brownish.
Then ik have this:
Løve Garn Highland. A worsted 10 ply yarn in a blue-purple colorway.
The spectaculare new item is - if I may say so myself - these lovely balls:
Look inside:
Kauni Effektgarn 8/2. Fingering 4 ply in the colorway EF (purple, red purple, blue, moss green)
YUMMI!
On the vikingmarket I bought some viking singles, hand dyed with wild madder (Rubia tinctorum L):
I've started needlebinding a new pair of socks in a new stitch Danny taught me.
The white fluffy stuf beneath it is a batt of sheepwool, ready to be spun. It's from an ancient sheep breed, but I forgot the name. I'm sure Kees or Danny knows.
And I've got 3 more cones of Lingarn. A linen thread for embroidery or tablet- or cardweaving.
The other goodies are these:
10 leather tablets for tabletwaeving/cardweaving, a wet stone so I can sharpen my knife and 12 authentic pins.
I'm am very happy with this:
A bag made out of birch. I love it. Nou I can carry around some stuff without hanging it all on my belt. Viking age or no Viking age. I'd like to know the time every now and then, and I need my 21st century money to get my 10th century goodies. And my camera, so I can show you what I've been doing.
Well I'm of to knit a few hours before I go to work this afternoon. I need to finish my Hoody before I can start knitting the Kauni ;-)
Seeya!
