Johnny will be sharing some important tips to help you learn how to get proper measurements to ensure the perfect fit for your sweater! One of the most important parts of knitting a sweater is being honest with your body and gauge measurements. If either your body or gauge measurements are even the slightest bit off, you risk having a sweater that doesn’t fit as well as you’d hoped. Taking the time to take accurate measurements before you begin your project will pay off in the long run with a great fitting sweater!
Measuring Gauge I’ll be honest, when I started knitting I didn’t even know that you were supposed measure gauge. Your gauge (that is the number of stitches and rows per inch) is incredibly important because it will determine how big or small your sweater will be. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11.

Des fils séchant après avoir été teints selon une méthode traditionnelle américaine. La teinture est l'action de modifier la couleur d'un support par absorption d'un colorant. Elle est utilisée en cosmétique pour les cheveux et la peau, en ameublement pour teinter les bois ou les textiles, en confection pour les vêtements, en maroquinerie pour le cuir, en peinture, etc. Le terme teinture désigne également la substance colorante elle-même. Historique[modifier | modifier le code] Tutorial: Crock Pot Yarn Dyeing! You may not even know about these, but way back at the beginning of this blog, almost 3 years ago, I did a couple of kool-aid yarn dyeing tutorials.
They were specifically how-tos for getting particular kinds of variegation (as opposed to dyeing basics) – part 1 being three blending colors, part 2 longer stripes of random-order solids. (I’ve just gone back and edited these old posts a little, changing some bad advice I’d given and some minor details, but not anything major.) So, after 3 years and countless skeins of dyeing experience have now passed, I want to do a couple of new dyeing tutorials for you! (For the basics of dyeing, if you’re new to it, see the link list in my first tutorial, since this post is only meant for this particular variegation method, not for kool-aid dyeing in general.) I recently dyed up a skein of bulky yarn (Imperial Stock Ranch Lopi) with 5 different colors in my crock pot, for a spotty, kettle dyed kind of look, as you can see above.
Flashback: Dye Your Own Yarn, Naturally. By Emily Smith Natural dyeing is a great way to learn more about the plants growing around you, as well as how your yarn is processed.
Most commercially dyed wool is done so with chemical or acid dyes, since natural dyeing is more variable, and requires quite a lot of plant materials to dye on a commercial scale. Whenever dyeing at home, it is advisable to always research the materials you are working with – plants can be poisonous! Find out how they react when boiled, and if you’re foraging for materials, how much of one plant you can take from an area without damaging the surrounding environment. For the most part, it’s a lot of fun!

The Joy of Handspinning – Hand spinning wool into yarn with a spinning wheel or drop spindle » How The Spinning Wheel Works. The spindle and the drive wheel are rotated by a drive band.
The spindle whorl is either on the flyer or attached to the spindle. It has 2-3 different pulley sizes which controls the speed of the flyer. The flyer has a row of hooks on one or both sides of the U-shaped arms to guide the yarn onto the bobbin evenly. On double drive wheels, the bobbin is rotated by its own pulley. On single drive wheels the bobbin has a separate brake to control its speed. Single Drive Wheels This type of wheel has one drive band around the flyer wheel and the flyer whorl. Double Drive Wheels This type of wheel has the flyer whorl and bobbin next to one another on the same side of the spindle. Sarah Anderson - Navajo Plying. Abby Franquemont. Tricot.

Troupeau de moutons La laine est un matériau généralement d'origine animale qui est constitué de fibres kératiniques d'ovins et utilisé dans la production textile, notamment pour ses capacités d'isolant thermique. La zootechnie permet l'amélioration de la quantité et de la qualité de laine produite. Par extension, le mot « laine » est aussi utilisé pour désigner d'autres matériaux, souvent d'origine minérale ou fabriqués par synthèse chimique, présentant des caractéristiques communes, comme leur pouvoir isolant ou leur apparence, et utilisés par exemple dans le bâtiment : laine de verre et laine de roche.
Fermented Suint Method. Fermented Suint Method is a technique to clean wool fleece in preparation for spinning.
This method was developed for the lower lanolin wools which have a lower wax content in their woolgrease. Primitive and longwool breeds specifically. If you’re new to fleece processing, this is one of the simplest ways for cleaning fleece and a good place to start. There is no heat involved in the process and therefor less of a chance of felting your wool. Plus it’s just darned intriguing to see a fleece practically clean itself with it’s own built in “soap”. The process is designed for cleaning large quantities of fleece, as each subsequent batch makes the FS mix stronger. Suint is basically sheeps sweat. I will clarify right from the start that this method will not remove all of the woolgrease. Mouton. Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre.
Le mouton (Ovis aries) est un mammifère domestique herbivore de la famille des bovidés, de la sous-famille des Caprinés et du genre Ovis.

C'est un mammifère ruminant qui est présent aujourd'hui surtout sous sa forme domestiquée, bien que six espèces sauvages existent toujours.
