Projects in Handspun Art Yarn





This morning, on my daughter's new blog http://woolinitaly.wordpress.com/2013/04/04/whats-in-a-name-can-art-yarn-become-wearable-art/, she talks about using hand spun Art yarn.
That prompted me to go through my photos and find some of the things I have made with my hand spun "Art" yarn. Here are just a few of them...


Top row--vessel made from hand spun handi wipes and sisal, hat made from spun silk fabric strips, locker hooked bag containing some hand spun, shawls (squiggle shawl in background)
Middle row--vessel made from hand spun tissue paper. free form vessel. cowl, cowl
Bottom row-- locker hooked bag, vessel in spun plastic bags, hat, hat from a hand spun dresser scarf

Intuitive Crochet?

I guess I can call this Intuitive Crochet because I have no idea where it is going. I just started, pulled it out and started again. I am using some yarn I spun out of plastic newspaper bags. I spun it with a copper colored rayon thread which had a tendency to get all tangled up. I am not sure what I was doing wrong but I think everything was just too slippery. I should have just crocheted the bags without spinning them, but I have done that before and wouldn't have learned anything new!
