I found this little gem in my favorite second-hand store: a straw-yellow linen dishcloth, intricately open-worked and hand-embroidered in a delightfully naive manner. Yet another piece to add to the pile of linens that are strictly forbidden to be used!

Love Love Love!

Hello, I fell in love with this cotton sheet for $5, sold in a second-hand store near my home. I immediately knew it was meant to become a Victorian-ish apron, inspired by its delicate floral pattern and its almost white cream color.

Hello, good people, I just watched the fantastic film The Nettle Dress and it inspired me. Were nettles used in the Middle Ages? If so, where, exactly?Has anyone here ever tried extracting nettle fibers?

Have you ever spun 100% cotton fiber? I find it very strange, the fiber is extremely short and the amount of twist required is, oh my god! But the texture is very pleasant and even the sound is different from that of wool... This batch is divinely dyed in soft colors, it comes from Fiber Imp.

Pure Bliss

Hello! I found this modest, very vintage weaving loom on Marketplace, and I had fun upgrading it. I replaced the 7.5 dpi reed with a 15 dpi one, which I had to shorten a bit, and now I'm discovering new techniques! This little loom probably never expected to be used this much!

Hello! I found some nettle stalks I had forgotten about in my workshop, and surprise, they yielded beautiful soft fibers in a lovely pale color. I can't wait to have enough to make a weaving larger than this one!

All finished, I’m in love

Hello, I am desperately looking for playlists that could accompany my medieval crafting in a calm and dreamy way. I weave, spin, and embroider, and I feel as though I have exhausted all my instrumental options.

A farm near my place that raises alpacas was selling beautiful raw wool, simply washed and carded. The fibers are quite short compared to the merino I’ve been spinning lately, but it’s such a pleasure to spin the wool from Ginger, a female alpaca I had the pleasure of taking care of one summer!

Damn, I really love handpainting roving grab bags! Here are my first three creations. I just sorted the rovings by texture and color, and I find it really motivating to have a kind of "forced theme" to create freely according to my imagination!

Finished yarn!

Hello! I just received my order from Fiber Imp! The plain rovings came in a solid-colored mixed fiber bag, and I'm really happy with the colors I received: Merino, bamboo, silk, and Corriedale. Happy Christmas to me!

Got my first spindle and wool - any beginner tips?

While I love how it's turning out it's definitely been a fight.

Where does everyone buy their fiber?
