What Happened To Italia Blue

alpaca wool blankets

Vor kurzem habe ich meinen Damast-Webstuhl leer gewebt. Es war eine Wollkette drauf für zwei Decken. Die Kette hat eigentlich recht fad ausgeschaut, aber der Schuss - a soft mohair yarn - has taken the tissue all blandness. It has created two wonderful, cuddly blankets!

What Do Colors Mean In Recycling



I did a little experimenting with Kuvikas in the warp direction. This may not be cuddly alpaca (Kettlancé threads) in elegant silk (plain weave warp threads) present. The Lance-chain binds less often and lose so energized. I have compensated with attached weights (top left)

as weft yarn I've used the first boiled wool scarf (pictures at the bottom), the second a fluffy alpaca. Both scarves are very soft and warm!

Pipe Covering For Pedestal Sinks

elegant silk tents

... that has nothing to do with camping! Tents called the Tyrolean fruit bread that is baked in this season.
I first get out the recipe of my grandmother:

is then scheduled a bread dough.

The dried pears and figs, I rotate through a meat grinder and mix them with the nuts, almonds and raisins.
be kneaded Now these fruit and nut mixture and the dough together, a tough thing! The shaped loaves
still get a "cloak" of a thin flour-water mixture and a pounded egg.

Then it goes off in the oven!

According to a little over an hour the tents ready. I'm looking forward to tomorrow's breakfast: geschnittenene tent on it thin slices with some butter. Mmmmh!

Numbness In Outside Of Leg

number 3

the third scarf I've used heavily hyped silk yarn in the weft. That was not so easy to process, because the yarn is turned on unruly and constantly wants to form small loops. The scarf was already before washing very three dimensional:

After washing, I got him a little steamed to soften the silk.

Here are nun alle drei Schals friedlich nebeneinander:

Fazit: Schal Nummer 1 mit dem Merino-Schussgarn ist herrlich weich, hat aber wenig Falten. Der Schal Nummer 2 mit der überdrehten Seide / Viskose Mischung fältelt schön und ist sehr weich. Schal Nummer 3 hat zwar den stärksten Falteneffekt, ist aber - im Vergleich zu den anderen - bei weitem nicht so weich.
