May is my absolut favourite month. And I think this skein fits perfectly in the Finnish spring nature. Ho hoi all my friends on Helsinki! It seems that there are still available places on my yarn spinning course 22.-23.5. @helsinginseudunkesayliopisto . So, If you want to join me on this fabulous hobby, you are warmly invited! And yes, I live in Finnish ghetto, which is surrounded by lovely forrest 💚💚 In february I was visiting my dear friend who lives in Åland. During our hike I noticed that bladderwrack made snow yellowish and I thouhgt would it give any color to yarns. And it did! Today I had a lovely puzzle at work 🥰 all our other floor looms has beater attached down and these are actually first counterbalance looms that I have setted up! It was so funny, instructions was swedish, eventought these are made in Kuopio by Varpapuu. Unfortunately that company doesn't excist anymore, but these looms are still very good condition and I can't wait to make some beautiful warps for our customes! My test piece is finally ready. The pattern is lovely, but mistakes can happen really easily..! I love this velvet yarn "Selina" from @lankavayarnhouse. The texture in the yarn and the woven surface is really soft and this type of fabric would be perfect for a pillow. This piece is small, only 25x100 cm, so I think I'll make small bags or pouches out of this one day.. I have so many projects going on 😱 About memories and sustainable workwear 🤗 This morning in the elevator I noticed that I was wearing two clothes that are especially dear to me. Both were made by a dear friend of mine @mea.upcyclestudio and the material is denim, or old jeans. I dyed a pair of jeans for the jacket, because denim blue is not my favorite color. I love colors, and I don't have a lot of white things in my home. I took this photo one evening while knitting on my couch and feeling happy about my plants and my spinning wheels. This photo shows two of my three wheels. Want to know more about them? Maybe one day I'll make my own posts about each one. #spinningwheel #homesweethome❤️ #plantaddiction #wool #retrohome Next weekend there is art orienteering in Pirkanmaa @taidesuunnistus
