I use silk yarn to tie my bundles when I’m eco dyeing. This means I end up with a beautiful by-product that is also useful! The first of a series of silk crochet brooches.

Love how it looks now!

The Back Story: The name of the yarn is Charlemagne and we are sold out which means we will work fast to get more made. The pattern is set to release as soon as she/he has a name. We chose the name “Charlemagne” for the color purple because this was his favorite color. Purple is royal. Purple is also the highest vibration in our chakras which is where, ironically, the King wears his crown.

purple and green
finished a purple scarf in my currently favourite queen anne’s lace pattern
the yarn is panda ‘fiesta’, and has silver threads as highlights
i’m now working on a green scarf in the same pattern
it is a unique hand dyed tasmanian alpaca that i found in the alpaca shoppe in deloraine
this is a finer and more delicate-looking scarf than the others i’ve made so far
it’s been interesting seeing how different the same pattern looks when made in different colours and yarns …
