Darach Shire 50th Anniversary - I did a sweeping display of hand spun yarns and weaving, taking People's Choice 1st place, the cloak clasp and the pomegranates pin as my prizes. #MySCA #Caid #DarachShire #KeepWeaving #KeepSpinning #AlwaysAStudent
display of hand spun yarns (wool yarns and cotton), hand dyed yarns, and several weaving techniques all from my studies of Andean Backstrap weaving (from the Andes in Peru, primarily the Cusco region), including the 4-selvedge band I finished last night - one basket filled with colorful balls of yarn, one basket of white cotton, and lots of woven bands and straps, including a wider piece still in progress Cloak clasp with Celtic knotwork, a pin with three pomegranates, and a collection of charms with a number 50, and oak leaf, and a set of acorns along with a black bead, a white bead, and black and white diagonal striped ribbon

When I do demos about spinning and textiles, the yarn spun while I talk all starts to look the same. Some of this was done on the Great Wheel, some was done on spindles. This evening I finished plying and skeining demo yarn for some type of weaving project #KeepSpinning #TextilesDemos
