Everyone's asking: Where's the new class schedule? It's coming and should be posted on the site this weekend. But here's a preview of my favorite and newest class for the season . . . and it doesn't involve knitting!The picture gives you an idea of the final result but really doesn't do it justice--Laura from Prism came up with the idea of making fabric. She's kitted up a kaleidoscope of unusual yarns--all in hand-dyed colorways. The combination of textures, ribbons, sheen and sparkle comes alive!
In a nutshell, it's kind of like building a submarine sandwich--a very easy process. First, you layer the fibers on a sizing base. Then you add fabric glue. You arrange layer after layer of fiber and glue then top off the piece with the sizing base. The next step involves sewing the whole "s
andwich" together. After that's complete, we rinse the fabric and voila! It's a magnificent piece of art! You can make a stunning kimono, a bedspread, pillows, a shawl--anything you can imagine. I'm going to make a holiday table runner for our Christmas celebration. My guests will eat it up!The class will be offered beginning in October and will include the cost of the kit, which comes in a great variety of Laura's colorways. Call us for more info and look for our Knitty Gritty on line any day now . . .
