Merino and flowers

A few people at the markets have asked if I dye 4ply merino.
Well, I haven’t so far but I thought I’d give it a go.

I dyed 200g skeins that I have split up in two.
It’s fascinating how different the skein look when you ‘re-skein’ it.

My next market will be Titirangi Mums’ Craft Market.
It’s a market specialised for kids (and mums)
so I thought I’d better make some more hair clips!

Yummy merino/possum

I ordered some merino/possum yarn the other day.

Just a small lot to see what it would look like hand-dyed.
I dyed it and it came out amazing!

Isn’t it beautiful!

The yarn can be found in my felt shop.

DCM tomorrow

Tomorrow is my favourite market – The Devonport Craft Market.
I love it because it’s my local market and there are so many lovely,
crafty stall holders and lots of friendly customers.

I should have taken some photos of new cuffs and beanies
but the day just flew by and now it’s too dark.
If you are in Auckland and have some spare time,
you can come and see them at the market.

Devonport Community House, 10-2.

Beaded cuffs

Tomorrow I’m going to Titirangi market to see if I can get a spot for the day.

Keep your fingers crossed.

I will bring some new beaded cuffs

Silver and gold beads

Blue and green metallic beads

Golden skulls and silver Space invaders.
Note that the two cuffs with Space invaders are slightly different. :)

Silver/gold to the left, rainbow metallic to the right

And I have made a new short version.
The beads are gold, blue metallic and red AB (aurora borealis).

Crafternoon Tea

This Saturday you can find me at Crafternoon Tea (I love that name!)

in Kingsland. The market will run on the same day as the Kingsland Festival
so not only will you find loads of funky crafts – there will also be
live music, a kid’s zone and much more.

Saturday 9 April, 2–6pm.

To market!

I have worked frantically the past week to get ready for

Devonport Craft Market tomorrow.
And, phew, I’m finally done!

Yummy, soft hand-dyed merino wool on skeins

Some more merino beanies

Lots of shades of hand-dyed cotton yarn

And some new cotton beanies

I have created postcards of the Hearts for Canterbury outdoor installation.
All proceeds for the postcards will be donated to the Red Cross Canterbury
Appeal so please come along and buy some cards to show your support!
