Cherry Blossom Wrist Warmers
I knitted this pair with a rich yarn that was spun by a local artist who grows her own fiber animals. The yarn is a delicious medley that hand-spinner folktale describes here:
I’ve had the idea for this yarn in my head for over a year now, and I’m really excited that it turned out so well. It’s spun from a blend of natural chocolate brown merino wool locks from local sheep that are kept as pets, plus a bit of local natural brown rambouillet/border leicester locks, local natural charcoal kid mohair locks, local natural pale caramel kid mohair locks, and a bit of natural off-white loose hemp fiber. The cherry blossoms are hand-felted from merino x wool, recycled tussah silk, and hemp gauze, then hand dyed and embroidered by me.
