I love this fabric so much I'm going to cut it up and make it into things to spread it around. After washing and pressing, I have 4.6 m (5 y) of 71 cm (28") wide fabric. Warp was Romeldale processed from raw, weft was dyed wool/silk blend tops. Let me know how you think I could use it? Spindle bags? Project bags? Something else? Yardage, say for book cloth? Warp fibre from @wooliesns Weft fibre from @good_fibrations (purple) and @gobsmackedyarn (green and blues) #fossilfibersutility26 #WeavingWithHandspun #HandspunYarn #WhatVivWeaves The drape of the finished cloth Unfinished, just off the loom, and kind of stiff 🤤 🌠

❤️Full hearts from last evening and we can’t wait to see you on Saturday! The Truro Farmers’ Market will be full of harvest spirit this weekend with a little extra pep in our step. We want to say a special thank you to: ❤️All the wonderful food trucks who came out to be a part of the fundraiser to serve up delicious eats. 💕All the cooperative members who volunteered their time to set up, staff and tear down the event. 💛The amazing Brad McGoey for the vibes and sweet tunes sponsored by Downtown Truro. 💓EXTRA love to everyone who came out to support the market, the trucks and dance a little bit! We raised $1,939.60 that will go towards repairs, clean up, paint, and caring for the building we call home. Thank you to Truro Pulse: for the beautiful photos. We’re already gearing up for Saturday so be sure to stop by for: 🍂Fall harvest favourites including squash, grapes, apples, farm fresh meats for roasting, hearty breads and baking, prepared foods to fill your tummy, and plenty of unique artisan offerings. 🧺 @beezyeco returns this Saturday to inspire an eco friendly fall clean up! 🥂 @maybee.ferments is here this week with two flavours of kombucha (Deep Roots & Mojito), as well as garlic scape pesto and fermented tomato paste. 🍺We’re happy to see Steve back with @soberislandbrewing this weekend. Their brews are good on hot or cool fall days. 🌸Long time since we’ve seen @a.sutherland_resin.jewelry but she’s back for this Saturday. Don’t miss out! Plus new faces like @shellyskitchntable and always favourites @chulavista_food, @supperbysylvia, @anascinnamonbuns, @atitiapastries and sooo many more!

🍅🥒🌶️🫐Abundant August! Come film your basket with farm fresh goods! It’s time to save those flavours too. Think about grabbing extra while our farmers have it. You can blanch and freeze, dehydrate, can, jam or ferment. You will thank yourself later.

Now that the spinning is done, I'm ready for the next stage of my @fossilfibers #fossilfibersutility26 project: weaving! It's going to be plainweave, with the dark brown hand-processed @wooliesns Romeldale as warp, and handdyed wool/silk blends from @gobsmackedyarn and @good_fibrations as weft. Once it's off the loom and fulled, I'll cut it up to sew into useful things for fabulous people.
