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

Four Silk Scaves and A Shirt

Wait!

I thought this was a blog about four silk scarves and a shirt?

Well, it is.

All spun and then crocheted into this Pinata Hat

(which is what it reminds me of) 

with wool fiber and some plastic beads which were threaded onto blue nylon thread.

A silk hat for spring

The hat has a sort of 1920's dip on one side

which was a spur of the moment thing,

but makes for a cute fit.
