I’ve been working on assorted wool crafts recently, most notably a crochet ‘Sarah’ doll for the toddlers birthday and assorted keyrings for Christmas gifts (never too early to start!) but I saw ‘Spindle & Skein’ on instagram and her various handspun fibres and succumbed to temptation. This stunning soy fibre wool is incredibly soft and feels so rich, plus the colour changes slightly from gold to pale pink depending upon the light. I’m trying to be more mindful of the materials I use in my craft projects and also in making items for us to ensure that they have minimum environmental impact, so soy fibre, which is created with the left-over bits of the plant fits perfectly.
It was lovely to buy something so different from a local, independent craftsperson and I can’t wait to decide on my project to use it.
What’s made you happy today?
