This morning I began to sort through my catch-all mending basket in my sewing room (also the family room). It used to be the catch all for unmatched socks. Those all got buried underneath my mending. I felt inspired this morning to empty that basket. Mending really takes some inspiration! Took in jumper of mine [...]
Three Shirts Done and a Bump Along the Way
March 26, 2008 By 3 Comments
As of this morning, I’ve completed 2 merino wool turtlenecks for Jeff and 1 merino wool long-sleeve tee-shirt for myself (yeah, got one in for myself). I went back and forth yesterday on whether to dye the fabric before I sewed or after the shirts were constructed. In the end, I decided to sew first [...]
100% Merino Wool Arrival
March 25, 2008 By 4 Comments
The USPS brought my wool to me yesterday. I am so happy. It is beautiful, soft, stretchy and warm! I have been waiting for it for a couple of months. We decided against getting the merino wool/lycra blend because the mill was having trouble milling it. They might resolve that in the coming weeks, but [...]

Neck Warmer
March 16, 2008 By 2 Comments
Because his hair is clipped shorter, the 100% merino wool beanie/skull cap — from when I first started practicing them — fits Jeff perfectly. Except it leaves his neck desiring warmth. So we created a neck warmer. It is really like a removable turtleneck! And it does the trick. The neck warmer is a serged [...]
Black Wool Baselayer T-Shirts
February 22, 2008 By 4 Comments
After two treatments in the jet black overdye, the previously red merino wool t-shirts are now black. I had to dye them twice because after the first overdyeing, some of the red still peeked through. We’re enjoying our t’s and the extra warmth they give right next to our skin. I love wool! I am [...]
