Luisa – Twisted Yarns

Merry Christmas everyone! I know that I have been rather quiet on here recently, but it has been a busy few months! Thank you to all my customers this year, it was lovely meeting some of you at yarn shows. Just to let you know, I have a boxing day sale on my Etsy shop, which runs from the 26th of December to the 2nd of January 2024. I am having a bit of a Christmas break, so all orders will be sent in the new year. Take care.

Today I am making project bags for my crochet kits using my beautiful 1936 hand crank Singer 99k. Although she doesn’t have a backstitch function numbered tension or stitch dial (they are just knobs you adjust) zigzag stitch (stretch frabics weren’t invented yet) or zipper foot (again zips weren’t around) she makes the most beautiful stitches and I use her for all non stretch fabrics. She also has a host of amazing feet which makes French seems gathering etc a doddle! These project bags will coming with me to @summerwoolfestival in a couple of weeks. #summerwoolfestival #yarnshowprep #singer99k #sewing

Another batch of yarn for @summerwoolfestival has been dyed. The weather has been a bit iffy to leave outside so it’s drying over the bath. If you are coming come and say hello to me in the Connolly corridor. #handdyedyarn #indiedyer #summerwoolfestival #yarnshowprep

Todays job is labelling all this yarn for @woolj13 this weekend. I’ve got a few more that are still drying, so those will be done later this week, a bit of sunshine would be nice to speed up the drying. ☀️ #woolj13 #yarnshowprep #indiedyer #handdyedyarn
