Colouring in Mondays 2 – yarns

Since Monday is a traditionally depressing day, on Tasmanian craftie it’s going to be the day of colour – wonderful pictures for you to look at, colour combinations to inspire you.

This time it’s all blues, cool, rich and yet delicate.

I’m not a knitter – I just drool over the gorgeous yarns I find on Etsy and flickr. I’m edging towards justifying it as a ‘mixed media’ purchase…what do you think?

 I’m trying to come up with a way to include yarn in my easy-peasy washing machine needlefelting technique. I sense some trials (and many errors) coming up. I’ll keep a photographic record and post it as a how-to…or perhaps a how-not-to…shortly.

Craft update: the wonderful batt from Copperpot has felted up so well that the pods look like little martian planets. My personal opinion is that they’re absolutely gorgeous. There’s also a large green one that looks like Uranus…or should that be Neptune? Pics to follow…
