As I said, right now I need to take everything very slowly :D
spinning
Spinning is a craft I tend to when I really need to slow down. Stitching and sewing is slow as well but more purposeful than spinning. (And I tend to fall into a kind of addicted trance with sewing and stiching which is stressful in itself.) With spinning I just make yarn. And when I begin at th...

Indigo vat refreshing
Since it is getting warm now, I began refreshing my outdoor indigo vat. It's a 230 L vat, so it would be quite a hassle to replace it completely. Which means, each spring I remove the mud and particles from the bottom. Usually I use a pond net but the netting didn't survive the winter and I want...
oh the shame. Yes, I mistreat my poor combs quite abit. I bend them back regularily but they are not as strong as the tines from larger combs so it keeps on happening. Shame on me. ;)
Bentheimer Landschaf taking for a spin
All over Germany (and in some other countries as well) there are so called Nutztier-Archen (livestock arcs; farms with endangered farming animals, old livestock races that are deemed non-profitable for industrialised farmingand are in danger of dying out which would be catastrophic for biodivers...
Thank you.
I'm now slowly working through the whole fleece. It will take some time, since combing with the small combs is slow work but I'm in no hurry.

yes, unbleached linen and indigo is my favourite combo.

Yesterday, the revitalised indigo vat had its big day, first time this spring. A friend visited and needed some bed sheets dyed as table cloths for her market stands. While we waited for the large cloths to oxidise, took the opportunity and dyed some of my prepared fabrics. Unfortunately it got ...

With the new dog in the house, walking is much easier :o) But the thinking part is still hard

it's been a while
And a lot happened. For the past year I was mostly a carer. For my mum and since October for my dog as well. And over the past months, both deteriorated more and more. Until last wednesday, I had to put my dog to sleep. Around 2, I cam home... Continue reading

I am really looking forward to rebuilding the garden. Seeing some beings grow and strive will be a nice change.
Katazome students
Yesterday two students visited me for a short dye day in inidgo. They wanted a peek into katazome dyeing and so I showed them how to prepare the paste, apply it through stencils and dye. It all takes some while and we had only a few hours so we concentrated on two projects. From my stash one of ...

I am sorry to inform you that I will have to cancel my online class on dyeing and printing cotton and linen with natural dyes. My mother just turned 90 this month and since her last stay in hopital, she is now strictly confined to her bed. Although I have... Continue reading

thank you. Indeed, exciting *s*
indigo season opening
Thanks to my new studio I was able to open the indigo season quite early this year. Nothing's nicer than building your vat while the cold rain is playing its steady rhythm on the roof and you are inside, relatively warm and very dry. And there is even warm water to wash your fabrics and not fr...
thank you. hopefully the first of a series ;o)
