Episode 55 of the Marina Skua Podcast – Calm colours and weaving with hand-spun yarn

As the weather gets colder and the days get darker I'm working on more cosy craft projects, including some colourwork knitting, dyeing comforting colours on my British wool yarn, and weaving fabric with hand-spun yarn.

The British wool I spun for the yarn I'm weaving with is from Wingham Wool Work. I have hand-dyed spinning fibre available.

The Lapidarium yoked jumper is designed in Marina Skua Mendip DK yarn; I used Night, Yew, Teal and Sheep on the Sunny base. There are kits available

I am part of South West England Fibreshed; we are working on developing and promoting regional textiles.

My new in-progress design is in Telling Yarns Steadfast (DK) in Mrs Coulter and Meg. The pattern will be published in Issue 12 of Making Stories Magazine (affiliate link).
