finally found scrim not at the close-by Hancock's
(that was one of the places i visited the other day and had no luck),
but at the one across town, they had it, and half price!
so i bought enough to last me a good while.
unless i get scrim-happy.
also found some perle cotton, milliner's needles and cotton tape!
thank you for the tip, dear Deanna!
Ooooooo. I need pearl cotton too! Almost out from lace fun in the forest.... . Checked Wally world cause they have restocked fibers they have some decent Indian but the spool is gigantoid. I'll call my D'ham Hancocks. I know they call it Hancocks but Jeeeze! That's hard to write and say with out skinning my knees in the gutter.
ReplyDeletelet's call it d'hamcocks! and go there together someday.
Deleteglad to hear you found some scrim. i think you will love working with it. i started your spindling class a couple of days ago and am loving it. i'm waiting for my spindle to arrive in the mail so i can work along with you. happy stitching. hope you will post some of your work.
ReplyDeleteoh Deanna i'm so glad the spindling class is working for you so far!! please let me know if there's anything at all i can do to help or clarify things. did you get the spindling kit through craftsy or a different one?
Deletethe kit was sold out and even at woolery, the only kits they had were with the top whorl so i just ordered their bottom whorl spindle. i have plenty of roving in the house.
Deletei'm glad that's the one you got - it's too bad there's been this snafu with the craftsy kits! hopefully they'll get it sorted soon. but you'll be all set.
Delete...who-hoo!!
ReplyDeletenow ~ what magic spins are you doing now???!!!
i am intriqued
may i ask, just what is a "spindling class"?
can i play too? or is this for experienced spinners who have all sorts of spinning wheels?
rosemary!! it's an online class in spinning with a hand spindle that i did for craftsy.com. it's for everyone and i'd love it if you would come and play!!! http://www.craftsy.com/class/spindling-from-fluff-to-stuff/92
