i unveiled and sold a couple of waterfall scarf kits at the last craft fair. i’ve been thinking about this for a while, a way to give unsure people something to do with my handspun. plus, at least for this project, the money you have to spend isn’t as high as some of my other skeins because the yarn is a single and you don’t need that much yardage. here’s the one that finally made me think i was on to something (after much experimenting).
the kits come with a copy of the pattern and a 140 yd skein of yarn. although this one is CVM, i think i’m going to stick with softer wools like falkland and bfl. maybe some south african fine.
i’m also planning on coming out with a hat kit some time in the near future – something that mixes both some handspun and regular yarn. the prototype is done, but now i have to spin for it.
p.s. this lovely model is rachel. you’ll be seeing more of her because she’s going to be ben and my new housemate. her and two kitties who i will also introduce you too when the time comes.
have a great weekend!
Beautiful and understated. Love it!
Love the scarf! Will you sell the pattern separately?
So pretty! The kits are a great idea. It is hard to know what to do with fancy yarn, so it’s nice to have a plan :)
The scarf is lovely! This cool weather is making me want to knit. Perfect name too- looks like water flowing…
Cosy, that is drop dead gorgeous! And the scarf n’ yarn look pretty good as well ;-)
