Harvest time. 💛
I'm going to dry most of this Tansy and use it for dyeing yarn later in the year. There is lots and lots at this spot, the perfect place to take enough but not too much.
The lovely sickle is made by BearTools on Etsy.

To my own great surprise, I've actually sold all print copies of my nålbinding tutorial 😲
So, here's the second edition!
It's also available in PDF form in my Etsy shop, link in bio.
Yes, there is an English version as well!

Crafting at VikingaTider last week was a lovely break from the everyday grind.
Nålbinding, spinning and great company 🌟

Very little energy, very small spindle.
But I'm enjoying this mix of Merino / Alpaca / Llama / Kid mohair from the World of Wool Advent Calendar 2024. So soft and beautiful in its grey austerity.
It's called 'Yet To Come'. Both promising and frightening.

Do I need more wool right now?
No.
Could I resist this absolutely gorgeous NZ wool from @haunuiwool when I realised there was a retailer here in Sweden?
Also no.
This is a soo smooth, natural colour wool with an incredible sheen and I cannot wait to spin it 😍

I have made a nålbound hat and scarf for Hipi, my sheep mascot.
I have no other comments at this time.
Ps: Other than that she was a great success at today's winter market.

I've been clinically depressed for over ten years.
One of the worst parts of depression is losing interest in the things you actually love to do.
I still craft. But often I'm not doing it because I really want to. I'm doing it because I know it will help me through❤️

There is a winter market at VikingaTider (the open air museum where I volunteer) next weekend and preparations are underway. I will be there selling nålbound items, Viking age glass bead necklaces, silk scarves and plant dyed yarn 😊 #ancientcraft #oldcraft #livinghistory #yarn #wool #fibercraft

To say I'm excited about this is definitely an understatement...
This year's fibre advent calendar from World of Wool is here! Many hours of handspinning joy in a box 😍🐑

Nålbinding, Dalarna stitch. One of my all time favourites. I love the texture and the double layered fabric it makes. 💙
