    A lovely episode and your brown yoked sweater is stunning!!! I’m excited for the pattern release. 😊 As a title idea, how about “The Lamb’s Pasture”? The colorwork reminds me of fences around pastures and thought of lambs because of the wool. Don’t know how that would translate so it may not be appropriate but thought I’d share. ☺️ Thank you for your podcasts!

    I do remember your brown yoke-sweater very well, because I really loved and still love the choice of colours and the motive of the stripes. I think you said you were inspired by the african bogolan. you asked then also for name suggestions and I suggested something like shades of coffee or shades of chocolat (because of the colours and because of the link with africa). but maybe you are now in a different mood and more looking in another direction for a name. in any case I am happy that all your work and frustrations eventually have leaded to a very nice result!

      @ I wear it mostly as a cape with the triangle part on my left shoulder and a beautiful shawl pin in a leafy form from etsy holding it together on the right shoulder. I feel like Frodo when I wear it :D I made it in a forest green BFL DK weight, it is the perfect colour for the design. The lateral brade gave me a bit of a headacke to be honest, because my stitches after that were way too loose, I tried two times but they were still loose, I managed to mask it because the yarn is rather rustig and after blocking it was barely visible. Amazingly beautiful design

      @ddb777 that sounds SO beautiful! Call me in! I love a good frodo moment. Exactly the vibe I got from fibre tales itself!
      Honestly, now I hear you talk I feel like I'm going to make my own colorful fairy tale version of the Skovbund shawl. I'm currently at 30% and it's looking very very pretty: black DK yarn with 1 tiny tiny strand of shiny/glittery black thread which I couldnt resist. The blackness was too black and the shimmer of the yarn is now a fairy tale on its own! Love it! Can't wait to wear it.
      Do you have your version on ravelry so I can give it a look? I might go for your color choice next! Sounds so pretty.

    I have been knitting a lot lately, mostly because I am teaching kntting for some private clients. I have never knitted a shawl and this year I am planning to and already have a pattern in mind. Also knitted a short sleave cardigan/vest just have to sew it together and find buttons. Now busy with a sturdy top-down sweater with snowflek colour work around the yoke and may do another bit around bottom of sleeves and body. Still thinking about it, may even reverse the colourwork at the bottom, who knows ;-)

    Laerke, I am always tempted to try your Gotland blend yarns but have a question, based on my experience with another dark/black Gotland-merino farm yarn I found on Etsy before you began offering your own yarns. How does your Gotland when blended with merino hold up?
    The cardigan knit from the yarn I have pills like crazy--seriously. I made it about 5 years ago, wear it regularly during the cold seasons (it's very warm and cozy), have soaked/washed and blocked it several times, and it is STILL regularly pilling--big, fluffy hairballs--after just one wear! It seems likely that the long curly hairs of the Gotland become entangled with the short merino fibers to create massive (1cm-diameter) pill balls that cling to the fabric: the wiry Gotland fibers hold onto those balls like they're newborn babies, which I suppose they are 😂.
    I've tried all kinds of de-pilling techniques, from pulling them off with my fingers, to carefully cutting with sharp scissors, to electric de-pillers (which don't work at all; the hairballs are too large). A stiff de-pilling brush works the best/quickest but I realize also pulls out of the fabric more long Gotland fibers to make more hairballs. I would love for it to just stop pilling already!
    I don't know the spin on the yarn I have--I should check on that. Perhaps it's loosely woollen-spun, which could lead to more pilling, vs. a tighter worsted-spun. Any thoughts about your yarn or suggestions RE pilling would be much appreciated! Thank you.

    • @FiberTales
      @FiberTales  10 днів тому

      Hi! My experience is that it wears beautifully with minimal pilling. This yarn is also worsted spun but with a good twist. I have made a video where i talk about it in detail and show knitted examples

    Den lægger også op til, at lave den 70'er inspireret, hvor vi gik i alle farver, og helst sammen. Så den vil også være perfekt til rester.
