Copenhague. Dimanche, à Copenhague, il faisait presque aussi chaud que dans n’importe quelle ville de la côte atlantique, à la mi-juin.

Copenhague

On devait plisser les yeux pour regarder en face la devanture des immeubles et la ville entière s’était, semble-t-il, donné rendez-vous sur les bords du canal pour boire un verre installé à un des innombrables cafés qui le bordent, ou bien pour pique-niquer, assis là où il y avait de la place, par exemple en tailleur sur le quai. Je parie qu’ici, on dénombre davantage de vélos que d’habitants et la circulation routière s’en trouve transfigurée. Peu de voitures, donc peu de bruit et une sensation pas désagréable de sécurité. Les filles étaient jolies, court vêtues et la combinaison en liberty est sans aucun doute le must de cette saison. Les garçons sur le port exhibaient leurs tatouages en buvant de la bière à peu près comme dans n’importe quel port au monde. CREABOX + CADEAUX TAMTOKKI. Mon mercredi fut rayonnant !

About « Wovember

We hope that through our enthusiasm and creativity we can raise awareness of WHAT MAKES WOOL DIFFERENT, and jointly create a force for WOOL APPRECIATION strong enough to effect changes in how garments and textiles are described and marketed. (Herdwick ram, photographed by Kate Davies) The unique properties of WOOL (warmth, wicking, durability) mean that it is a fibre particularly suitable for winter garments. Precisely because of these properties, the terms WOOL, WOOLLY, and WOOLLEN carry a cachet that the fashion industry — particularly in recent cost-cutting years — has been all too-ready to exploit. 100% WOOL on a Rough Fell Sheep, photographed by Dr Felicity Ford at WOOLFEST, 2009 100% WOOL on sheep grazing in Sussex, photographed by Dr Felicity Ford in 2009 * Have fun.

art equals happy.

To avoid felting we pat and squeeze (never twist!) While wet. We avoid 'shocking' our fibres by not changing the temperate rapidly (i.e. hot water to cold water) or running water directly onto roving. If there is a tiny bit of felting, please forgive us. A great way to open up your fibres if you're finding it hard to 'pull apart' like normal is to separate the roving out sideways and then try again. Colour Fastness: All Art Equals Happy wool and fibre has been washed and fixed naturally and washed again to insure colour fastness.

You never know from day to day, which ones you’ll have to eat.” I find myself eating my words a lot. Not mean words, but opinions and tastes. It almost never fails that if I state an absolute, it shifts. Five to six years ago, I went through a phase where I really only wanted to wear black, white, gray, red and yellow and said: Ugh, I’ll never wear brown again. I never thought this yarn would give me so much trouble, which was mostly due to putting a lot of pressure on myself to find the perfect most deserving pattern for this home raised, handspun Suri alpaca.
