Smáspunaverksmiðja – Mini Mill
Next Sunday a local market takes place in my neighborhood. Hand-crafters offer their goods for sale and good causes can be supported. To make the enjoyable trip to this beautiful area even more pleasant, my small shop will also be open that day. 😊
My mother-in-law just finished this beautiful shawl. The yarn is Dís from Uppspuni.
A "YarnWalk" is scheduled in Reykjavík next Saturday. This pattern for a hat was put on their Facebook site. I made one from Hulduband. I also knitted a shawl from Dís (the fairy yarn) and I like to call it bumblebee 🙂
One of our goal is to fully use every fleece. The carder leaves out fiber that is not usable for anything like yarn - so I sew pillows for pets, and stuff it with this wool.
Pet's just love these beds. Last Saturday a woman came and said it was useless to buy petbeds for her cat, it never lies on it. I asked if I could lend her one and she could return it if the cat didn't appreciate it...
It's Monday. - She is not going to return it.
A woven piece from single thread that was specially spun by the weaver's wishes. I find this a very exciting project because it is the very first woven piece that I have seen and touched from yarn from my mill, spun specially for the project.
I must say, I'm very proud and honored to be a part of it.
