De-stash project
I’ve been trying to use old yarn in every project this year, but the warp on this is all 17+ years old. The rose, pale pink and white are originally from a baby blanket whose owner is now a senior in high school. The red is from several baby blankets. Those kids are all mid 20s. The brown I got used in 1997, so who knows how old that is.
This is a run of waffle weave towels.

Quick #yarn question:
According to J&S, one of these is “blue” and the other is “sky blue.”
Which is which in your opinion?
I think they’ve got it the wrong way round, and so does my wife 😅
Their opinion is in the alt text.
As a bonus: my #finishorfrogalong #knitting jumper is going well! I just finished round 17 of 29 of the yoke pattern, I’m hoping to finish the whole thing by next weekend.
Wish me luck!

Fresh off the loom: doublewidth throws in integrated plain weave. Still have to fringe, wet finish and brush. Since they are so big, I think I will step on them in the tub to full them.
This is a destash project—which, of course, means I had to buy more yarn to actually do it. 😂 Those stripes are gifted yarns I have had for a couple of decades!
If you don’t see me for a while, I’ll be fringing! 😅

Question for fiber folks about moths:
Last night, I forgot I had these skeins out drying until after dark. When I went to bring them in, a moth flew up from one of the skeins. These are a blend of wool and dog fur.
Should I be worried that the moth might have laid eggs in the yarn? Should I throw them in the freezer or do something more drastic? I'm keeping them well separate from the rest of my stash for now.

Ooh, look! I made a thing!
A bracing #adapter to allow my planetary gear #embroideryFloss winder (a bit over engineered) to be used with larger #spools/#bobbins to roll up things like #yarn, twine, and paracord.

Ooh, look! I made a thing!
A #parametric #yarn #bobbin that can be printed to match common cardboard ones, or instead with an end that snaps onto my planetary gear winder.

Deadstock: The Best Yarn You've Never Heard Of
Awakening Woodland. Fresh spring light filters through a quiet beech woodland in this gentle fresh colourway. Soft leaf-greens, mossy speckles and hints of bark and bud create a refined, wearable palette, perfect for shawls, socks and cardigans that feel calm, uplifting and quietly luxurious for everyday joy.
