Slow, responsible, hand-spun and Koigu, handmade wearable art.
The fiber I use to create with is purchased from humane sources, as far as I know and I always ask. Fiber is purchased locally, when possible, from family businesses with responsible practices. I purchase the Cormo from Buckwheat Bridge Angoras. They are a wind and solar powered fiber farm, Hudson Valley, NY.
After the purchase of the fleece, it is sorted then scoured (cleaned) using a scent-free, bio-degradeable product. Then I use a picker to open up the locks, and then either hand-card, drum card or comb before spinning.
Once it is spun then it is finished before it is dyed with natural, organic dyes.
Now I can either sell the yarn or knit it into my vision of wearable art.
Koigu yarn, which I have used to make some of the cowls, is the product of a woman artist-owned farm. Each skein is hand-painted.
The cowls utilize a style of knitting called Domino Knitting. It is what makes the colors align in amazing patterns and gives texture to the knitted items. For me, it is a slower, more careful style of knitting and takes longer to make.
My home is non-smoking, chemical-free, scent -free and raw food cat friendly.
Celebrate your care of the earth!
